I haven't received my Zf yet, but wanted to see what kind of lens do you guys use for macro on your Z bodies?
I have owned several macro lenses in the past decades (Micro-Nikkor AI-S 105/4, Micro-Nikkor AI-S 105/2.8, Micro-Nikkor AI 200/4 IF, AF Micro-Nikkor 105/2.8D, Micro-Nikkor AI-S 55/2.8, Micro-Nikkor AF 60/2.8D, AF Tamron SP 90/2.8 Macro, AF Sigma Macro 105/2.8).
I currently use the Micro-Nikkor AF ED 200/4D, the Micro-Nikkor AF-S ED 105/2.8G VR and the Zeiss ZF 100/2 Makro-Planar.

"Good and cheap" doesn't imply "best". Good and cheap means, IMHO, the Micro-Nikkor AF-S ED 105/2.8G VR: it's relatively cheap in the 2nd hand market and rather good/sharp, although not the sharpest. Its out-of-focus rendition is one of the best you can have with macro lenses for Nikon cameras (DSLR cameras and MILCs). A used Micro-Nikkor AF-S ED 105/2.8G VR does represent a quite good value for money. I attach few pictures.

The Voigtlander 110/2.5 Macro Apo Lanthar (available with Sony E-mount only, but you can adapt it to your Zf via Megadap ETZ21 Pro). It's a MF lens though.
