Nikon never bothered to support the Nikon Zf and Zfc with retro-cool lenses, but thanks to Voigtlander it doesn’t need to
I’m long past hoping Nikon will launch a range of retro-themed optics to support its heritage mirrorless cameras, but here’s why that shouldn’t put you off investing in a Nikon Zf
The Nikon Zf and Zfc, inspired by the retro-styled Nikon FM2 film-era SLR, appeared in 2021 and 2023 respectively, but their lack of aperture ring in lenses proved disappointing. Despite this, Voigtlander stepped in to offer retro-cool Z-mount lenses for these cameras. Voigtlander's lenses are officially licensed by Nikon, ensuring authentic quality, and they feature all-metal barrels and manual focus only designs.
The collection includes 10 full-frame optics and three APS-C (DX) lenses, all of which boast electronic contacts for EXIF data and Image Stabilization, plus aperture rings. Voigtlander's Z-mount lenses, with their robust construction and vintage aesthetics, provide a satisfying alternative to Nikon's offerings.
