[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 842421, member: 48483"] I have exactly 1 Z-lens that is not Nikon, and that is a 7-Artisans 35mm pancake. It is fully manual focus with no electronics in the lens. A fixed f-stop of f/5.6, so I can only adjust shutter and ISO. It's purpose is to be a body cap that can be deployed quickly to take a photo. I bought it used for under $70. That is about all the non-OEM lens I have been interested in buying for my Z kit, but I was kicking around the idea of the Viltrox 28mm f/4.5 pancake lens instead. Actually the body-cap idea has been working well for my storage and carry system as I modified it last year. Having the 35mm prime lens on the camera by default has been forcing me to make better lens decisions as I approach a scene instead of taking the lazy way with the lens that was already attached. And I more easily fit in an extra telephoto lens in the backpack now by making the camera compartment smaller. [/QUOTE]
