From what I am seeing the 24-70 2.8s looks like a real winner that would be worth building a FF Z system around and compliment with my existing e glass sometime in the future as I would still live in both ecosystems.
If I’ve missed a thread on this feel free to point me to it. Thx.
I have both. I haven't touched f4 since getting the f2.8. It's 100% subjective but imo 2.8 has that special something. I'm keeping the slower zoom to pass to the wife when the time to upgrade Z6 comes.

Testing my newest acquisition....the Nikon AF-S 300mm f2.8 II with my Z6
I'm suprised at the optical quality and quick focus of this lens.

I have both the 24-70 f4S and the 24-70 f2.8S and I haven't used my 24-70 f4S since getting the f2.8S. Whilst the 24-70 f4S is excellent, the 24-70 f2.8S is quite spectacular, literally a bag of primes in the one lens. It is sharp at every focal length, every aperture and at every subject distance. It is basically without flaw, IMO. I have kept the 24-70 f4S as a lightweight travel lens but I just prefer the output of the f2.8S.

Thanks Lance and Luke. That’s encouraging although I don’t plan to get a FF Z until likely next year. Ironically, of all the lenses I own, the 24-70 is not one of them My plan is to add the lenses I don’t own as gap fillers when I eventually jump in. The 24-70 and 14-30 will fit that bill.

some 35S pics
-baby ducklings, soon.
-some bokeh tests
-one from last fall.
I am down to TWO Nikon lenses total!
35/85S
I kept my 12-24 Sigma Art for commercial wide angle needs.
but 35/85 is really all I need for humans
for an alternate threesome,
I could also rock an ultra wide zoom, 50, and a 70-200.

So, did a little more testing today, on a bigger field I have to say this lens is almost like cheating the quality of the images coming out is amazing. Tried various modes, Wide-S seemed to work best, but subject tracking wasn't far behind. On an open field like this it's very usable. A few photos below, more on my Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/luftwalk/albums/72157714306392862/with/49902395816/

Looks really good. It's 2.5kg?
$$$?

$$$? Yep, 2.5kgs and I paid just shy of 1500€ for it. Came with the hood, case, drop-in filter and in a really good condition.
So far I'm really happy with it. And the focus is faster than my 70-200 VR2.

Great set Luftwalk. Was that 300mm lens hard to hand hold or did you use a mono or tripod?

The picture was taken in February when the world was still in order. In the meantime, the lockdown is almost over again and it actually looks like this again on the streets. Greetings from Germany and stay healthy.

I always hand hold, that's why I went for this model since it's lighter than the others. The price being lower helped as well
I used to hand hold the Sigma 120-300 Sport which was a whole kg heavier... it's still a heavy lens though and it does tire you eventuallyMay 17, 2020 at 03:47 PM
