The Nikon Zf: A Love Letter to Nostalgia Photography

After ten digital Nikons spanning two decades, I finally made the leap to mirrorless. Not because I had to, but because the Zf made me want to.

My D850 was—and still is—a magnificent camera. For years, I watched the mirrorless revolution with interest but without urgency. The technology was impressive, but something wasn’t quite right. The experience felt clinical, disconnected from the tactile pleasure that drew me to photography in the first place. So I waited.
