I’m not saying that I’ll never be happy, I’m saying that I can’t tell if, in practice, the extra 450+ grams a Zf kit would add relative to a Fuji kit would bother me.
The Zf weighs almost as much as my d90, which I regularly left behind on outings because it was an annoying heavy blob.
May favorite film camera weighs less than an x-t4, but the lenses are heavier, so it’s a bit of a wash.
For reference, I have big hands, even compared to something like a d90, big film camera, etc, it’s more about the clunkiness and weight of a 26 oz body combined with the chunkiness of Nikons new primes.
The Zf pics I see largely look as good or better than the Fuji pics, but it’s hard to compare apples to apples because the Nikon guys seem to be better shooters in general and I’m not lol.
What are the cheaper, smaller, crappier options for Z lenses? Just like TT-artisan and stuff like that? I prefer the “vintage character” type shots that people get out of the Nikon 40/f2 anyway, so that’s no big sacrifice.
On the other hand, going Fuji saves 30% off of the body weight, some percent off the lens weight, and the only tradeoff is nearly imperceptibly worse pics at social media sizes and a harder time generating ultra-narrow depth for portraits.
