I have a weakness for retro-styled cameras that spans from my actually retro film SLR to the classic look of my digital camera. But if there’s a retro look I’m really jealous of, it’s the Nikon Zf. The newly launched silver color range for the Nikon Zf is finally shipping – and I’m crushing hard over that silver camera with a teal wrap.
The Nikon Zf launched in 2023 as the brand brought a classic look to its full-frame mirrorless cameras for the first time. But, earlier this month, Nikon arguably made the look of the Zf more classic when it added a silver color option to the range of color choices. And yes, that silver body comes with a range of different wrap colors. My personal favorite is the teal, but it’s hard to ignore that dark green or classic brown.
The silver variant of the Nikon Zf is now shipping – and there are already a few discounts on the nearly refreshed retro camera.
🇺🇸 Buy it in the USA
In the US, the new silver option is $200 off at Adorama and B&H. Sadly, the silver with the black wrap is the most affordable, while the silver with the different color wraps runs about $100 more. The silver-black combo is already shipping, where the silver with the colored wrap is still listed as a pre-order.
🇬🇧 Buy it in the UK
In the UK, the new silver color isn’t discounted yet, but Nikon UK is throwing in a free leather case from SmallRig with orders through October 30.
The Nikon Zf isn’t only about the retro looks. The build quality is excellent, and the 24.5MP mirrorless camera also has autofocus smarts inspired by the flagship Z9. That gives the Zf a lot of autofocus perks for a camera at this price point, including low-light performance and subject tracking.
The new silver color options aren’t the first time I’ve been jealous of Nikon’s retro-styled modern cameras. The Heralbony edition of the Nikon Z fc – the crop sensor version of the Zf – put eye-catching patterns on the wrap. Why can’t a camera both make art and look like a work of art itself?
