[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 703663, member: 43545"] After using both my 24-70 2.8 g and E versions, it was very obvious that the 24-70 f/4 S lens was optically superior. No one who has used all three suggests the f mounts are better then either the f/4 or f/2.8 S lenses Here is a test that shows what we have found. The G version without VR I find to be better than the much more expensive E version, bit both trail the S lenses. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYpRziUSJOA[/URL] Ricci's tests of the 14-30 were pretty conclusive over the 14-24 2.8G Here is an interesting comparison of the Z6 to Nikon's best low light cameras, Df and D5 [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhitNrQkAZY&t=13s[/URL] On of the most compelling reasons for moving to Z bodies is the Z lenses which are all sharper corner to corner than the competition. Even if some lenses can approach the center sharpness, none compete across the entire frame I have become so impressed with the performance and handling of the Z6 that I recently sold my D850 because it is worth more now than if I delay, and it just sits in the shelf. I kept the D800 because it is worth more to me than what I could get for it. I will use the D850 money to add a Z7 to the kt and that will allow me to sell of my F glass.
