The Nikon Zfc was designed with deliberate aesthetic intent: a retro body styled after the FM2 film camera, with physical dials for shutter speed and exposure compensation, a silver and black finish, and a form factor that attracts a specific kind of photographer — someone interested in the relationship between tool and process, not just specification and output. Fitting the Nikkor AI-S 105mm f/2.5 to it, via Nikon’s FTZ II adapter, completes an argument the camera body was already making.
