Today Nikon is pleased to announce a limited release of the Nikon Zfc camera “Nikon | HERALBONY Zfc” model featuring premium exterior designs created by contracted artists from HERALBONY Co., Ltd. (HERALBONY). This exclusive model will be available through the official Nikon store.
HERALBONY is a company dedicated to creating a new value and culture through art. Nikon was inspired by HERALBONY’s mission to “Radiate Your Colour” and its extensive licensed art collection created by neurodiverse artists and this shared vision led to our collaboration. With the Zfc featuring unique artwork, we hope that this camera will not only serve as a tool for capturing and expressing moments, but also as a means for individuals to express their own unique identities.
The Zfc is a camera that combines high performance and usability with a design inspired by Nikon’s historic models. Featuring the “Premium Exterior” that allows users to replace the body’s leatherette and customize the colour to their liking, it has become especially popular among younger users who value personal expression.
During this collaboration, Nikon and HERALBONY carefully selected four works of art from the 2,000+ pieces in the HERALBONY’s licensed collection to be featured on the premium exterior* of the Zfc. You can now choose a camera adorned with a design that particularly resonates with you.
Nikon aims to further expand the possibilities of imaging expressions and contribute to the development of imaging culture in the future.
*These cameras are available only as complete units. Retrofitting an existing Zfc with the designs from this collaboration is not possible.
