[QUOTE="Danno, post: 790873, member: 34269"] Fred the Z Lenses released to date are better glass. And as for Pro Grade. The Z mount lenses with the S in the nomenclature are comparable to the gold ring pro lenses of the F Mount if not better. My 50 1.8 is better than the G version by an order of magnitude. I do not use it as much as I did because I love the 24-70 f2.8S that lives on my Z6 these days. The only shortcoming that the Z lenses have is the short between the shutter button and the ground... (that would be me). I also have the 85 f1.8S, the 14-30 f4 and the 70-200 f2.8S. My 85 f1.8S is better than the f1.4 F mount I used to borrow from a friend of mine. The 70-200 f2.8S blows me away as well. The 14-30 f4S I think is better than the 14-24 f2.8 F Mount I had and it is certainly lighter by almost half. The thing is most of the released lenses are S lenses. They are well made and they have a good weather seal. Some of the talking heads on the web dogged them out when they first hit but they never really gave them a chance and with the firmware updates made to all the bodies and many of the lenses they are pretty amazing. The non S lenses are amazing as well. Nikon is investing in the Z line. They have introduced some pretty amazing long lenses for the wildlife folks like the 800 mm and the 400 f2.8S TC VR. I wish they had some more lenses. 70-300 with VR would be nice. A zoom similar to what Tamron currently produces going up to 600 would be nice. I think they are in the plan but not there yet. But based on the reviews of the 28-75 f2.8, which was a Tamron lens, I would look at them if the price was right. I had great success with my Tamron lenses on my D7200 and my D700. My Tamron 26-75 f2.8 lived on my 700 and and it was only replaced by the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2 when necessary. So i am glad Tamron is going to be building lenses.
