[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 828570, member: 48483"] I think this is where the FTZ becomes a worthwhile investment. It brings in a lot of F lenses into play to fill a gap like this. You just want to verify you are buying a lens with its own AF motor instead of the older kind that use the screw-drive on the mount. I won't advise on a 70-300mm lens, I have never had one I really liked. I currently use a telephoto combination of Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 and Sigma 150-600mm f/5.6-6.3 F-mounts on my Z5. It's a hefty kit, but I do like what the lenses give me. My goal is to build a more pro-grade Z lens kit from the beginning instead of the haphazard way I built my F mount kit. The FTZ is the secret to allowing me to do this gradually as I can afford new glass. [/QUOTE]
