>because of the physical controls
The physical controls suck ass. Nikon really fucked up the Zf by not just going for a classic SS and ISO dials with auto (like their actual film cameras) + exposure comp.
The Zf's control scheme is extremely convoluted and requires heavy mental gymnastics and brand loyalty to defend. PASM on a ""retro"" camera is a joke and exterminates the point of making things retro in the first place. You get lying dials and weird auto-ISO configuration. It's a weird compromise between retro and modern controls that just fails.
I say forget about it and just get a Z5ii. Nikon clearly doesn't and never had the genius to keep things simple (see: the absolute clusterfuck the Df's control interface was) in the design of retro-styled cameras.
