Wondering what folks experience with them is. I'm looking to pull together a Z5II and two lens kit that's small and right now they are my front runners lens-wise.

Thanks.

I’m using the 75. It’s not small but it’s not a boat anchor either. I carry it with a 35 apo. The apo gets the bulk of the shots. 75 is like 10%.

I love it on people but it does great on everything imo. I don’t think I’ve shot it in a way to test for CA or similar issues though.

I plan to use it more in the future. IMO it’s a great lens I look forward to using when I pull it out.

I've recently bought the 28mm Nokton that I've been using along my 40mm Nokton. The 75mm is on my wishlist, when finances allow. So far I've been really liking the 28mm Nokton and even shot some Astrophotography with it (gets pretty good at f/2.5 but biggest issue is CA which is pretty easy to fix).

I've got the 28 Nokton. I like it. Nice look wide open, very competent when stopped down, surprisingly useful for astro as @Tonzah78@ demonstrates, and generally a good size on a smaller Z. It's a solid do-it-all 28 IMO.

Check out the Leica Elmar-C 90mm f/4. If you don’t need a fast lens it might work for you. I just picked up one here and it works well with a m to z adapter on my cameras.

I pretty extensively use the Nokton 28mm f1.5 and the 40mm f1.2. The 28mm f1.5 is one of my favorites. It's got a little CA at f1.5 but stopping down to about f1.8 makes it almost unnoticeable. It's also got a ton of 3d pop in my experience. Here's the flicker group for it if you want a decent amount of examples.

I also have them, and like them a lot.

I would guess those 2 primes are larger and heavier than the 25-120 so the zoom may be the smaller solution.
