Among the benefits and features that influenced my decision to buy Nikon Zf: Easily accessible switch to toggle to black and white. Color is preserved in RAW, while the JPEGs are monochrome. The switch is thumb accessible, nearby the capture button and beneath the shutter speed dial.
The Featured Image is an example of the output, and one that I doctored in post-production to obscure a fundamental boo-boo. The photo isn’t sharp, so I took advantage of monochrome to create more analog ambiance by adding considerable amount of grain, which would more typically be removed.
I used the NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR lens from the other side of Park Blvd in San Diego neighborhood Hillcrest. Vitals f/6.3, ISO 280, 1/500 sec, 200mm; 12:32 p.m. PDT, April 3, 2025.
