Nikon has announced that it will no longer provide a Premium Exterior Reupholstery Service for the Zf. This seems to have been a Japan-only service which gave Japanese Zf shooters the option of switching out the camera's artificial leather wrap to an alternative color, with a quoted a three-week turnaround time. And the price for this bespoke service? A surprisingly reasonable 6600 Yen ($45/£33).
The Nikon Zf will still be available to buy new in seven skin color options: Black, Indigo Blue, Sepia Brown, Bordeaux Red, Sunset Orange, Moss Green, and Stone Grey. The only difference is now you won't be able to have the leather changed to a different color after purchase. In fairness to Nikon, it has previously stated that the reupholstery offer "will end once each color of artificial leather runs out".
If this news has given you a sudden desire to get your Zf changed to a different color (and you live in Japan), then you'd better be quick. Nikon is still accepting applications for the reupholstery service, but only until 23:59 on Thursday August 7th, and you'll then need to ensure your camera reaches Nikon by Friday August 22nd using the Nikon Pickup Service.
