I have a Z8, and love it, but it's a bit bulky for travel. I was considering a Zf but don't like the idea of needing an aftermarket grip that takes away from the retro style. I'm also not so sure the weight/size difference between the Z8 and Zf are that pronounced. It seems like every review I've read or watched always mentions the bad ergonomics, especially with heavy lenses. Unfortunately, there's no local camera stores nearby to check it out and hold it.

I am sure from the specs and the reviews the Zf takes exceptional photos but was wondering if most owners also feel the need for the aftermarket grip.

Thanks!

I have a leather case with a grip built-in on my Zf. I found the case aesthetically pleasing while it was able to provide extra protection to the body's leatherette and better handling experience.
