You forgot sensor cleaning... another reason why I consider Zfc / Z50 entry level and without sensor cleaning, it's another reason not to switch lenses...

FX is where the money is and DX cameras are now entry level and a tiny portion of the overall market. Most DX users will only use their camera with the kit lens and it would be a mistake for Nikon ...

Just found this review (it's in French but knowing that "netteté" means sharpness, you can look at the Imatest curves and see for yourself, this lens is 5 star!!
I can see the same weakness in the...

You nailed me 🤣 the 85 is even better than the 50mm!!

DxO has a great team of experts, engineers, etc and some of their products are amazing (I'm a big fan of deep prime), guess which category I belong to?

Nice to see another review of the Z 50/1.8, needless to say there's no surprise there: in 3 words, this lens is "stellar, stellar, stellar"... can't wait for the Z 85/1.8 review and sorry to be a ...

You're plain wrong, the 24-200 is way better in the 24-70 range :-) Now for the 70-200 range, I'd rather wait for the DxOmark reviews, at least they're using a standard procedure to test lenses and ...

Just talked about Imatest at one of our photo club expert, he suggests that sharpening and in camera corrections have a very significant impact on Imatest results making comparisons between ...

Out of curiosity, is Imatest based on Raw files or Jpeg? Does sharpening affect Imatest results or other in-camera corrections? If not, I see no reason why you cannot compare results across ...

I'm no expert but expect the Z70-200 to be sharper than the Z24-200 and was puzzled that the ephotozine review showed the opposite... I know for sure that the Z-70-200 is stellar and other rewiews ...

Maybe the Z70-200 was tested with raw files and the 24-200 with jpegs?

I trust you on this, but am wondering how ephotozine came up with such results since both Z 24-200 and Z 70-200 were tested on the same system...

The Z 24-200 is even sharper than the Z 70-200/2.8:

Best at 35mm f/4 for center and f/5.6 for corners, weakest at 70mm Great review here: https://www.dxomark.com/nikon-nikkor-z-24-70mm-f-2-8-s-review/

Just wished I sold NASA a car insurance for their LRV's including collision, theft, fire, vandalism, windstorm, flood, roadside assistance, personal injuries, physical damage and liability...

Great camera, awaiting a 16mm pancake to go with the 28mm and MC 50mm, the only feature missing imho is sensor cleaning...

If plastic is better, all high-end lenses (S-line) should have plastic mount... just wondering?

You will never see a high-end lens with a plastic mount, if you don't like plastic, go for S lenses !! I still remember the 28mm f/2 AIs and my first reaction to this Z 28 f/2.8 was kinda "W-T-F", ...

Some complain about lack of IBIS but existing APS-C Z lenses come with VR, I'm more concerned about lack of sensor cleaning... in particular on a ML where sensor is more exposed.

Thanks, no IBIS isn't so much of a problem, (existing APS-C Z lenses come with VR) but no sensor cleaning is a no go for me :(
