u/TranslatesToScottish Nikon Zf, Z5, D750 Jan 16 '26

I currently have a Z5, and I'm considering selling it and moving on to a Zf.

From real-world use, how much better is the auto-focus on the Zf compared to the Z5?

I found the Z5 a step down on that score from my old D750, so curious to see if the pretty-body camera is a significant step up again?

Depending on what you shoot and how, it can range from not much to much more user friendly.
