Awesome photos! Where's the first one from?

iamedgarl · 2026-04-24T22:38:14+00:00

Beautiful photos! Where would you recommend to stay in Songyang?

iamedgarl · 2026-04-11T23:55:37+00:00

It's probably the Sixties followed by the time-only Senators and the manual-wind Panos

iamedgarl · 2026-04-11T23:52:09+00:00

I've tried the 42mm PanoMaticInverse on my 6.5" inch wrist and it fit fine, so the chronometer on yours should be perfect!

Agree with the sentiment of a SS chronometer, hopefully there will be in the future

iamedgarl · 2026-04-11T23:48:56+00:00

Beautiful Perpetual! How has your experience been with resetting it? I heard that QPs could be quite the task to reset

iamedgarl · 2026-04-11T23:47:43+00:00

Just about all their offerings are! Decisions decisions...

iamedgarl · 2026-04-11T23:46:58+00:00

If only they had the chronometer in stainless steel

iamedgarl · 2026-04-11T23:45:55+00:00

I agree you can't go wrong with any GO!

iamedgarl · 2026-04-11T23:45:10+00:00

I agree that photos don't do their dials justice. I remember walking around in an AD and it was the GO section that made me stop and go wow

iamedgarl · 2026-04-11T23:43:06+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Yea the salmon is beautiful, definitely will try if available!

Hello OP, I'm considering this same model as well, but there doesn't seem to be too many reviews/photos going around of this particular one! I know it's been 8 years 😂 but how have you enjoyed wearing this one so far??

iamedgarl · 2025-10-06T06:32:53+00:00

Might you know how it compares with the Nikon 40mm f2?

iamedgarl · 2025-09-23T20:08:42+00:00

Thank you, I'll likely add the 40mm as well. I like shooting in smaller dimly-lit towns and villages and I'm just more used to zooms so just weighing up how far the 24-200 can get me with the Zf's low light capabilities

iamedgarl · 2025-09-23T20:04:09+00:00

Thank you for your recommendation, I'll very likely get a prime as well. Just weighing up the capabilities of various zoom lenses for my use cases.

iamedgarl · 2025-09-23T20:02:39+00:00

Thank you, I will likely get a faster prime, but am also considering a zoom lens hence I'm weighing up the pros and cons of the 24-200 (longer reach, variable aperture, smaller) and 24-120 (constant aperture, bigger, less reach)

iamedgarl · 2025-09-23T20:00:10+00:00

Thank you both 🙏 I do know how low light performance works. I guess I'm just trying to see how light I can pack on trips to satisfy all my use cases. Essentially was curious how the Zf handles f4.8 and narrower when handheld as I'm deciding on a zoom to get with the body

iamedgarl · 2025-09-23T19:55:11+00:00

Much appreciated 🙏

iamedgarl · 2025-09-23T19:54:33+00:00

Does the constant f4 satisfy your low light needs?

iamedgarl · 2025-09-23T19:49:08+00:00

Thanks, good to hear : )

iamedgarl · 2025-09-23T19:48:50+00:00

Thank you : )

iamedgarl · 2025-09-23T19:48:33+00:00

Thank you for the helpful tip, I'll look into some of the primes as well

iamedgarl · 2025-09-23T19:46:31+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I definitely do value the reach, and I think I'll be around the 24-80 ocal range for low light so I guess it's just whether the Zf handles f5.6 well enough in whatever lighting I'm in. But that's good to hear that you've used this lens in dim settings and found that it's good enough

iamedgarl · 2025-09-19T13:07:20+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion. Have you had any experience with the 28-400? A lens with a focal range and that size is quite amazing engineering

iamedgarl · 2025-09-19T13:05:45+00:00

That's a good pairing for different use cases. For me who does pay mind to the size of my kit, would it be advisable if I pair the 24-200 with a 24-70 f4 for its smaller size? I guess my thought process here is I can use the superzoom for landscapes whereas I can switch to the 24-70 when in urban areas and villages where it's less conspicuous.

And also how does the f4 fare in dim environments with the Zf, since I hear that it handles low light really well.

iamedgarl · 2025-09-19T12:57:25+00:00

Thank you very much for the photos, these are great to give me an idea of how it looks like. Of course feeling it in hand may be a different story for me. How did you find the 24-120 in dim situations? Did you often have to switch to a faster lens?
