Nikon Zf + APO: The Ultimate Monochrome Kit? | Voigtlander 90mm f2 APO
After a month of testing on the Zf, Z8, and the 61 megapixel Leica, Voigtlander’s 90mm f2 APO might just be the sharpest lens I’ve used, but is it too sharp for me?

But reality’s stranger than fiction.
Street Photography Basics Camera Reviewers Miss? | Nikon Zf vs Z8 vs Leica M11
For camera reviewers - and the industry at large - street photographers are no longer the priority, so what are you actually paying for in a brand new camera?

Nikon Zf Manual Focus: Steal Like an Artist?
There’s no such thing as a new idea. Nikon’s secret plan to launch the Zf had all the benefits of second mover advantage. Vintage design like Fujifilm? Yes but make it full frame.

These moves are somewhat predictable, but Nikon also tried to “out-Leica” Leica in manual focus? Nikon may have just pulled it off - all because they stole like an artist.
