[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 835630, member: 48483"] When I bought my Z5, I bought the FTZ adapter knowing full well I would have to use my older F-mount lenses during a slow transition period. I did buy the 24-70mm f/4 right away (used, about $550 at that time) as I decided that was the right starting point. The Z24-120mm f/4 was not quite available at that time, so it was not something I considered. I already had the F-mount version that came with my D750 before. So yes, I watch the used Z lenses available at my local camera shop, compare to the online used prices, and I then buy if I can swing the payment and the price is right. That is not going to happen again for months in my case. Right now I am adapting my longest lenses as those are the lowest priority to upgrade. It is possible when I have fully changed to Z lenses I will try to complete the f/2.8 set with a 24-70mm and then trade my f/4 lens in for the 24-120mm f/4. It's all things I think about during idle time. The reviews on the Z24-120mm f/4 are very positive and it compares nearly as good as the 24-70mm f/4 optically. [/QUOTE]
