After using the Z9 for a while I have to say that many of the features are very nice and I really got back into using my Nikons again.  I then decided that I had to have a camera that was smaller.   So I looked for something closer to my Fuji XT5 which I really like.  So to be kind to me Nikon have released and I purchased a nice new Zf. 
The Nikon Zf has all the AF speed that I have been accustomed to on my Nikons from before and in fact is pretty close to the Z9 in this respect.  It also has a real advantage in that it is considerably lighter than my Z9 but not as light unfortunately as my XT5.

There is a very nice B&W mode as well that allows me to have a B&W image directly from the camera.   This feature still allows me to shoot in RAW mode but it provides to Nikon Studio NX a RAW file that has a bit set that makes the image B&W, but if you edit in Photoshop ACR v.16.1 than you can unset this bit and you can use the image as an original colour or B&W image.
So I am very pleased with everything about the Zf.
I have also decided that since I have the FTZ adapter for use on my Z7 I now have full use of the older F series of AFS lenses that I have as well as the older AF-D and MF lenses.  Phew no more expensive Nikon glass to buy.
