Note the ‘short’ 400 and 800 S-line lenses.
PFs are coming to Z
Those are the first Z mount lenses I'm properly excited about. The 400mm with the built in TC is awesome, but I doubt I'll ever own it. I have the 24-70 f/2.8 which is spectacular, but here's where I'll show that I'm spoiled, it's more of a workhorse than something that gets me "Excited." I also have the 20mm f/1.8 which gives me a relatively small, lightweight, compact kit for photographing my daughter in the house. Again, it's a great lens, but not exciting.
But for me, those small teles are properly exciting. The 300mm PF is the only lens I've ever pre-ordered, and I'll probably trade it in for that 400. I love hiking to places where it's impractical to bring a big prime, but where there's lots of good reason to have a tele. Giving me an extra 100mm will be awesome. I'd honestly considered the Canon 40mm DO and a teleconverter (EDIT: lens mount converter for the Z, not teleconverter).
Time will tell on the 800, but I'll have that 400 fo sho (assuming it's F/4, I'll be disappointed if it's 5.6). My 500mm f/4 might never leave the house once I have that.
Of course, don't tell Nikon, I was going to order the 100-400 until I saw that. With that on the roadmap, I'll just continue to adapt F-mount lenses for now.
