[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 790816, member: 46724"] *personal rant ahead I have the 70-300 AF-P f4.5-5.6 lens I use on my Z6 via the FTZ adapter that preforms quite well, but I would have swapped that lens for a Z mount if it was no slower than 5.6 just for the ease of not having to monkey around with the FTZ in the camera bag.
