Nikon Discontinues Its Zf Camera Body Refurbishment Program

The much-loved Premium Exterior Reupholstery Service for the Nikon Zf camera is coming to an end. This bespoke service, which allowed Zf shooters to change the camera's artificial leather wrap to an alternative colour, will no longer be available after September 30, 2025.

Nikon has announced that the discontinuation is due to the end of the availability of necessary materials required for the service. The last date to apply for this service is Thursday August 7th, and the Nikon Pickup Service must be used to send the Zf camera to Nikon for the reupholstery service by Friday August 22nd.

Ben Andrews, the Imaging Labs manager at Digital Camera World, has been at the forefront of testing and trialling photography equipment for years. He is a human encyclopedia of benchmarks when it comes to recommending the best buys, and he is also the team's expert on camera bags, filters, memory cards, and all manner of camera accessories.

The Premium Exterior Reupholstery Service was a Japan-only option for Zf shooters, and it cost 6600 Yen ($45/£33). The Nikon Zf is still available to buy new in seven skin colour options: Black, Indigo Blue, Sepia Brown, Bordeaux Red, Sunset Orange, Moss Green, and Stone Grey.

Unfortunately, once each colour of artificial leather runs out, the reupholstery offer will end. The price of the Nikon Zf camera remains undisclosed in this article.
