Have you tried any scenes that are backlit and/or contain lots of foliage. Definitely curious to see how it handles LoCA and flare/ghosting from more scences especially with the sun inside or just outside of the frame.
The ZFc sure is a smart looking camera. Hoping Nikon gets the parts sourcing worked out so they get wide availability over the coming months. I'm thinking a used body in late 2022 might make a great first camera for my older children to start carrying/learning with the size/weight combo.
Here is a bit more foliage @f2.8 and Z Fc.
Unfortunately it is raining all afternoon so I could not get any strong backlight yet.
Thanks! Looks like the bokeh in the leaves on the shot of your colleague is a little bit nervous, although no worse than my 28/2 AI-S. I typically don't mind that nervousness so long as it's devoid of bright fringe/edges within the bokeh itself which this lens does appear to be free from.
I dunno, I find it kinda amusing people discussing bokeh from a 28mm lens.

Indeed, so silly that people talk about this It's not high on my list of concerns wider than 50mm beyond not having bright rings/terrible LOCA that are truly distracting. The folks that shoot wide open environmental portraits care of course, but Nikon makes the 28/1.4 G for that.
The short MFD means that even 28mm at f/2.8 could give ample bokeh up close

Well, one of the joys of a wide angle with close focus is shooting tight to the subject and getting some distance between that subject and the background. In that situation bokeh matters. Sure, not everyone shoots in that style, but some of us do.

Guess it depends on what the subject matter is. With people, animals etc that would give the big nose/small face effect.

Had not gone out to take any pictures for a few days but I am dying to try this set up.
I'm probably the only reader in this thread who knows what you're showing. Pity about the crop but I guess the corners might give the usual problems at this FL for a classic M lens.

I find the lens perfectly fine on Z7 and A7r IV as long as I am using it for environmental protrait when I don't really worry much about the peripheral. The rendering otherwise is beautiful. If I want to do landscape or want good sharpness across the frame, there are many other better 35mm lens more suitable for that task. I hope the success of Z Fc will be enough to convince Nikon to do another FF retro. I will be all over that too
On Z Fc, it will give a very solid roughly 50 mm equavalent lens that should be a lot of fun for street, I think. Unfortunately there won't be any street photography at my favourite locations for several more months, I think
When I want to see its full potential, I use it quite often with M10 Monochrome
