the one area the ZF can't compete is lenses with aperture rings. (...) Nikon REALLY needs a line of small lenses (their versions of Fujicrons) with rings to replicate the same tactile experience you get on the Fujis.
100% agree. Imo Nikon and Sigma need to finally sort out a licensing deal to bring the i-series primes to Z mount -they would be a great match for the Zf.
But Fuji will likely always have the edge when it comes to compact camera+lens combos, just because of the smaller sensor size. It’s partly down to physics (e.g. a 135mm lens is always going to be bigger than a 90mm), and partly because hardly anyone is making slower full-frame lenses that really compete with something like the Fujicrons.
Luckily adapting the i-series to ZF is trivial and works well, but I'd like to see even smaller lenses (f2.8-3.5).
