If I didn’t already have the 50mm S, I would be interested in the lens.   I am not really a “normal focal length” shooter, but I can definitely see using this lens as a cool bar/party/restaurant ...

“Same old same old” meaning slightly larger but faster and more affordable?

There are going to be a lot of disappointed people if they think that it will be any cheaper than the Sony which is about 2400-2600 USD.

Like others have said, it all depends on how big you are planning to print or display. For me, if I was climbing over gates, and banging my gear around, I would much rather ding up a Z50 and ...

Yes, although I agree with Thom on a little of points, he tends to write as if we all want to optimize to the nth degree every single component in our workflow including a super “rationalized” ...

Sure, you can have loose framing and composition, but then you end up throwing away pixels. Also, You can shoot further away from your subject and/or closing down your aperture to ensure you get...

I had the GR III for a while. I absolutely loved the output but sold it.
The lack of a tilting screen was a drag, as was the fact that I used it on the beach and the rear screen was nowhere near...

Ok, by that logic, why even do a review in the 1st place:
“Same as a Gr III except with a different focal length lens”.
There you go, a 5 second video.

If I didn’t have the 50mm Z I would have seriously considered it.  But since I do, I opted for the 28mm instead.

FYI Pentax has had an APS-C 40mm f2.8 for years and folks seem to love it: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1002136-REG/pentax_21390_hd_pentax_da_40mm.html

I think most people here understand how equivalence works. And, nope, there is no equivalent APS-C lens to a full frame 24-70mm f2.8.  There is a saying amongst addicts…go to where the love is, ...

I agree, hence my recommendation of the 70-300mm.  I’m a big guy and I wouldn’t want to handhold a 200-500mm at an all day air show.

I had the Z50 with 200-500 combo for a while. I sold the 200-500mm because it was so big that I wouldn’t take it anywhere. In your shoes I would opt for a 70-300 af-p (the FX version is better). ...

Awesome lens for sure. But I just don’t get along with that focal length. That’s obviously not a fault of the lens, it is probably the sharpest lens I have ever owned.

I for one can’t wait for this lens…this will be like my FF version of the Fuji X100, except I prefer the 28mm focal length vs the 35mm.

My fear isn’t the lenses “breaking”…I am more worried about Nikon releasing a firmware and all of a sudden the lenses stop focusing.

I would rather lose resolution than have a tiny subject or overshadowed by other objects in the frame.  Too me composition is much more important than resolution.  Of course having both is ...

May want to look up “rule of thirds” and not necessarily put your subject in the dead center of the frame like you did in the 1st shot.  In the second shot, the leaves are pretty but it totally ...

My setup kinda mirrors this one: https://www.allanwallsphotography.com/blog/2018/9/21/macro-photography-gear-my-go-to-macro-setup-for-handheld-fieldwork DEFINITELY use an off-camera diffused ...

I had the 200-500mm on my Z50.  The IQ was pretty darn good.  Sold it in a month. It was just too big and not fun. Now that I have a Z6, I still wouldn’t get it again.  If I was a paid ...
