[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 830101, member: 48483"] There were some comments and questions when I shared last week that I had bought it. I decided it was fair to show the size of the lens compared to some others I have. Personally I think Nikon did a remarkable job keeping the lens as compact as they did. In a line, MC Z105mm f/2.8, Z14-24mm f/2.8, and Z24-70mm f/4. [ATTACH type="full" alt="2025-02-27 Z lenses.jpg"]416248[/ATTACH] Now next to my Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 Distagon. A manual focus F-mount lens. Using the FTZ-II adapter makes it longer than the Z14-24mm, but I needed that to use my 50mm f/1.8G to take photos with.
