[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 815382, member: 50197"] It depends on what you plan on taking pictures of. The 24-70 you have will do nicely for landscape and general all around picture taking. If you want to be able to take close ups of things like architectural details and things, critters or people from a distance, then something that gets you out to 200mm or so would be a must. Unfortunately, Nikon doesn't really offer anything very affordable in that range. I have used the 70-300 F4.5=5.6E with the FTZ on my Z5 with good results. It runs about $350 here in the States used in excellent condition. I would respectfully disagree with Twisted Throttle on getting the 50mm prime at this point.
