Besser gehts nicht! Das Foto ist für mich technisch einwandfrei, dazu eine absolut sympathische junge Dame mit einem strahlenden Lächeln, was will man mehr?

Ah, Marc, you just nailed it with this portrait. I love the light, the background, the model, the pose. Superb. I got in a good mood just from looking at it.

Great! If the Zfc can do this, it is another incentive for me to have a look at the Zf.

the Zf didn't do much, it was the photographer and model.  The combo of this model and this photographer could get excellent images with an iphone!

I did not want to discredit the photographer, nor the model. But IMO nobody can get this result with an iPhone. A good photographer can get close (at first glance) with an iPhone, but it would make no sense carrying heavy gear if he could do this with it. I 'only' have an iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro has lots of improvements now compared to that, but it is not the same as a good FF camera, let alone a MF body.

Oh I didn't think you were discrediting the photographer/model as much as giving too much credit to the camera. Too many times I have heard people refer to cameras in this way: "Oh, I bet that camera takes really good pictures..." Wrong way to think.

Sometimes an amazing picture is dumb luck. But usually it's  Photog first - Subject Second - Equipment third.

You should check this book out. If your not familiar with David Hume Kennerly, he's a seasoned pro and published a book shot only with his iPhone.

Thanks a lot! And do not worry, for sure I do not feel discredited at all. I also love the new Zf and for sure I also was thinking about an „upgrade“. But at the moment I will keep the Zfc.

Lieber Benqui,

Du kannst immer, wie Du es nennst, bei mir "punkten", so wie andere auch, wenn mir persönlich das Gezeigte gefällt. Aber wenn dem nicht so ist, dann ist das halt so, und dann muß man auch Kritik in höflicher Form äußern dürfen. Oder sehe ich das falsch?
