[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 826014, member: 50197"] I've never had an issue with my F mount lens on my Z5 and Z7ii. I would say that if you are looking to buy new lenses, look hard at the Nikon Z mount versions. They are definitely a cut above. The biggest gaps I see are the lack of some of the more popular focal lengths in affordable models. For example, the only 70-200 they have is the pricey 70-200 F2.8. When I first bought my Z5 the least expensive long tele they had was the 100-400. An excellent lens, but more than I could justify spending at the time. I ended up with the F mount 200-500. Now they have a 180-600 that I could possibly justify, if I hadn't already bought the 200-500. From everything I see and hear, the 180-600 is worth the extra money over the F mount at new prices, but not to sell mine for around half the original price and then purchase the Z mount. The Z 24-70 F4 is an excellent value IMO. It is sharp and well built and can be had for a very good price, especially if purchased along with a new body as a bundle deal. [/QUOTE]
