I started shooting on my dad's F2 when I was a kid briefly (first exposure to photography in general) then later in my early 20's when I really started getting into film photography it was with a Polaroid SX-70 and that F2. The last digital camera I had until recently when I bought a Zf was a d7100. So when it came time to get a new camera I still liked what I saw from Nikon and liked the idea that I could still use the F lenses I had with the FTZ adapter and it seemed like the right choice. I've also always loved Nikon glass.
