I’m interested in the z 24-70 f2.8 s

I’ve read a dozen reviews ... and they’re all 5 stars

These look to be great performing lenses.....

...and I know this is petty, but.....

I think the Z lens lineup looks SO CHEAP. All of them. I really hate the design aesthetic that Nikon went with. Maybe it's just me, but they look like cheap Tamron or Vivitar lenses from the early 90's.

They look like they would shatter into pieces if you bumped them. Sorry for the negative vibe....just my personal viewpoint.

Cheers

Appears to a case of love or hate. I do like the minimalist appearance but really prefer metal. The new plastics have fewer issues. I found the F mount Gold band to be a bit dated and tacky.

I'm going with performance over looks...,

I can’t wait to get the new S lenses, but they’re so boring to look at. They knew back then what a good looking lens was.

There are a lot of retro things coming back into style. Looks like Nikon jumped on board. ;)

I like the look and feel of the S lenses. They feel well made. The seals are smooth and you can tell how well they are weather sealed. The other thing is modern polymers are less susceptible weather and temperature.

I guess I prefer minimalist approach. In my Biker vernacular "Chrome won't get you home". I
