The lens roadmap is filling in with the most needed lenses and once the 70-200 2.8 S will really finish the initial phase y having a world class Trinity. After using the 24-70 2.8 for a week, as a rental, convinced me that none of the camera brands have a better core pro set of working lenses. It is that good. The 70-200 2.8 will be the best short telephoto zoom on the planet. The f/4 initial lenses at modest prices were very encouraging and the first 1.8 primes makes me not miss the 1.4 models that are missing.
To help finance the 85 1.8, 70-200 2.8 and Z7(or Z8) means selling off my big investment in F glass. That includes 15 fast quality Nikkors and a few Sigma and a very good Tamron 15-30 2.8 that satisfies my WA zoom lens need. The 14-30 f/4 is excellent but not its not needed to replace the Tamron.
The Z8 rumors are getting more active and concrete from sources which have been spot on in the recent past suggests a high res pro camera. I have a need for a high res body only for clients who demand the large files(mostly product and fashion) or lose out on some current client's work since selling off the D850. Since late Jan I have only been shooting the Z6 for all portrait sessions and casual hobby shooting. 24mpx is plenty for quality portraits. Too much detail detracts from good portraits. I still have a D800 which I always thought was the sweet spot for resolution at 36mpx and in good light, does a great job. But it gets lonely sitting on the shelf 95% of the time. So depending on the actual specs and price. my high res camera will be either a Z7 or Z8. I don't see a great need for the 61mpx rumored but if it is less than $4k it is strong contender.If it is higher, a Z7 would be the logical alternative. All that could be covered by selling off the F lenses except for a few specialty lenses. I have two 24-70 2.8, a G and E version and the E cost more than a new Z when new and it does not get used at all. I got it solely due to its VR but optically inferior to the older G non-VR. My most used lens is the 70-200 2.8 that will not be needed after the S version is available.
Lots of exciting changes in my kit coming this winter.
