When will they Support Nikon Zf & Z9 raw files
I'm sick and tired of other camera brands Canon & Sony being instantly supported by Apple, when will they support raw files from Nikon Zf and Z9
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.0

No one can know. Photos doesn't really offer much that's special with RAW Photos, anyway, so I don't even try. Even though NEF is supported for my Z5, for instance, I use Photos with jpgs. My Z5 and Z8 save both jpegs and RAW, and I keep import both to my drive. I then import the jpgs to Photos, and there it is fast to go through and reject the less exciting ones, and many of the good pictures are already well rendered as the jpgs. For the ones that seem like they could benefit from handling RAW data, I edit the NEF files in either Nikon's own NX-Studio (free!) or Lightroom Classic (monthly subscription, bah!) I then use these programs to export high quality jpgs which I finish editing in Photos using tools I like there.
I did install the app Raw Right Away which makes NEF icons visible and also makes QuickLook work with NEF files. This is working now, but when I look at the App Store, it doesn't seem to be offered. Don't know why…
