35mm lens for the Zf — Nikkor 1.4, Nikkor 1.8s, or Sirui Aurora?

Looking at three options for my Zf:

• Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 — fastest of the three but I’ve noticed the bokeh can get pretty busy wide open

• Nikkor 35mm f/1.8s — sharper, cleaner rendering, native Z mount

• Sirui Aurora 35mm f/1.4 — third party but getting a lot of praise for its rendering and price

Leaning away from the 1.4 because I’ve seen that the bokeh is apparently messy, but curious if anyone has shot with the Sirui. Worth it over the Nikkor 1.8s?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Very low price on Cotswalds Cameras - too good to be true?

Hi all,

I'm seeing a very low price for a Nikon Zf on Cotswalds Cameras. I'm looking for advice on whether they are reputable. Its at a shocking 1050 british pounds. Seems too good to be true. I don't see anything written about whether its new or used on the listing.

My alternative option was buying used from MPB for around 1450-1550 euros - which as far as I know also doesn't include manufacturer warranty. So should I just buy from Cotswalds?

If anyone has an experience with this website I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

Hey all,
Just a quick question here. I'm planning to buy a Nikon Zf from MPB, and there are a lot of options ranging from 50k shutter count to a few thousand.
Since there are so many options, I just wanted to hear what your advice would be about how to choose the best one, things to look out for, what an acceptable shutter count is, etc.
Thank you!

(1) Budget, country, and currency: ~1500 euros for camera body, Spain/Europe.

(2) What equipment, if any, you have now and why is it no longer meeting your needs?: I have a Fujifilm XT-30III and have been loving it, but I've not been super impressed with the build quality, and wish to explore full frame. It's also not weather-sealed, and I have heard that Nikon's weather sealing is solid.

(3) What kinds of subjects do you intend to shoot?: Landscapes and street photography mainly.

(4) Is it primarily for photography, videography, or both?: both, about 70/30 between photography and video!
