I've done a few tests, just indoors shooting walls. So far, indeed no difference in vignetting.
But holding both cameras, I'm not sure anymore which I prefer more ergonomically.
First of all, they're both heavy compared to the M11 with similar lenses. I'm only interested in these cameras because they allow me to critically focus wide open, whereas I can't do that with my M11.
That said, they're about the same weight.
The Z6 III is much more ergonomically friendly, but I find the space between the grip and the lens a bit (too?) narrow. That bugged me about the early Sony cameras and was one reason I ditched Sony. The Zf has way more space between the Smallrig grip and the lens.
But I do like that the Z6 III has a joystick, something I dearly miss on the Zf. But then the Zf has a dedicated exposure compensation dial, which I always like to have.
I'll do more shooting with both, but neither camera really does it for me so far. When I started this exploration of Nikon's manual focus function, I was very excited about it, but now I'm thinking I might just stick with my Leica only (well, only as far as use with M mount lenses is concerned).
