[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 789885, member: 50197"] I have the 24-70 F/4. It is a great lens. Compact, very sharp, appears to be a sturdy build. The only down side for me is that I would like to have a little more on the tele end. I don't have anything in the 70-200 range right now, so it seems a little restrictive. The 200-500 is too big and heavy to be changing out to unless I really need the extra magnification. For now the two lenses will do, but I would have to say that a 24-120 would seem ideal to me. Same speed, S series, a good bit extra on the telephoto end. When I bought my camera, the 24-120 did not seem like a good option from availability, and lack of bundling discount. If I were buying now, I would look for a deal on the 24-120. The only down side I would see with it might be the balance of a little longer, heavier lens. The Z5 with the 24-70 F4 fits in the hand and handles beautifully. It is the most ergonomic camera I've ever owned. There is only an ounce difference between the 5 and 6ii, so I would expect it to handle nearly the same. [/QUOTE]
