The Nikon Z f isn’t the manufacturer’s first attempt at reviving the style of film cameras for the digital age. The Nikon Df came along in 2013, but failed to take off enough to garner any sequels. In 2021, Nikon released the Z fc and got a very different reaction. Nikon has repeated several times that the demand for the Z fc has far exceeded its expectations, clearly showing that there is serious appetite for cameras with a vintage aesthetic. And the Nikon Z fc was well received. However, almost immediately after its release, users asked for a full-frame version with the same classic styling, so it seemed almost inevitable that Nikon would deliver just that.
It appears Nikon is fully onboard the vintage-inspired camera train with the release of the Nikon Z f, a full-frame version of the Z fc that is finally the true digital successor to the classic Nikon FM2 film camera, popular with pros and enthusiasts.
