Nikon has released a Silver Edition of the Nikon Zf, to join the standard black model, which the company says is inspired by the silver plating on its classic film-era SLR cameras, such as the Nikon F. The metallic area actually occupies a relatively small portion at the top and bottom of the camera, while the textured leatherette finish that covers the majority of the camera body remains black – or in a variety of more vibrant colorways.

Six exterior color options will be available alongside the standard silver-and-black model. There are three brand-new colors – Cognac Brown, Teal Blue, and Mauve Pink – as well as three colored Silver Edition cameras in the existing colorways of the black camera: Moss Green, Stone Gray, and Sepia Brown.

To coincide with the announcement of the Silver Edition cameras, Nikon has also announced a new Film Grain feature for the Nikon Zf, which adds a grain effect to photos and videos reminiscent of film stock, in which photographers will be able to adjust grain size (3 options) and strength (6 levels).

Furthermore, this feature can be combined with Imaging Recipes (presets created by Nikon creators that are downloadable via Nikon Imaging Cloud) and Picture Controls to create photographs with a truly filmic feel tailored to each individual's personal and creative style.

The Film Grain feature is scheduled to arrive via a firmware update that will be released later this year, and will work with the original black-bodied Nikon Zf, as well those in the new Silver Edition line.

The Nikon Zf Silver Edition will be available in late September for $2,199.95 / £2,299 / AU$3,449 with a black finish, or $2,299.95 / £2,299 / AU$ 3,549 for the 'premium exterior' color options.

Nikon says that the decision to release the Zf Silver Edition was down to the strength of customer demand, and follows on from the Nikon Z fc, which also saw the launch of a metallic version and a range of body colors. Who knows, perhaps we'll see further variants inspired by the Nikon Z fc Heralbony Edition, which came adorned with a range of four bold and beautiful graphic prints.
