[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 815459, member: 50197"] Keep in mind any DX (including the Z DX 50-250) lens you put on your Z5 will give you something like a 12 MP image. This is a significant degradation of image quality. Try it with the DX 35mm lens you have and see for yourself, but I'm confident you won't be happy with the results. If you are happy with the results, then use it. As I talked about before, I wouldn't spend money on a prime lens that is within the coverage you already have with the 24-70, unless you really NEED the extra speed it affords, especially when you only have one Z lens right now.
