One of Nikon Zf‘s benefits is the ability to shoot monochrome with the turn of one little dial. NEF (e.g. RAW) files are captured in color, and the JPEGs are strictly black and white.
While a convenient contrivance, the feature is an imitation of what Leica Q2 Monochrom, or its successor, can do. By removing the encumbrance of the RGB-color overlay, Leica delivers a camera that shoots photos with superior IQ (image quality), relatively little noise in low-light, and rich tones and dynamic range—all editable in the actual RAW file.
But my Zf easily crosses the good enough threshold and the convenience of easy switching to and from monochrome mode. The Featured Image is good example of what the Nikon can deliver, and I think it’s impressive enough. Vitals: f/6, ISO 160, 1/250 sec, 70mm; 11:57 a.m. PDT, yesterday. Attached lens: NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR.
I don’t see many golfcarts in my neighborhood, and that is excellent. They don’t interest me despite their appeal to people my age and older. This one appeared along Panorama.
A different golfcart presented problems. The aged driver too often zipped up the wrong direction on Mission, which is a one-way street. He and his golfcart are parted, fortunately, and I no longer need worry about looking for unexpected danger when crossing Mission.
