Advice Needed: Nikon Z6 III – FTZ II Adapter or New Z Lenses?

@TheLRC - Thommy Anderson, I sent you a message.

The lens you have can render well on the new Z camera. But not as well as the native Z's. <-- as many have suggested.

These are the F mount lenses I have:

Nikon AF-S 80-400/4,5-5,6G ED VR
Nikon Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S
Nikon Nikkor AF-S 14-24/2,8 G ED
Sigma EX 150/2,8 DG HSM Macro
Nikon Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4G

I would definitely replace all of these except the 150 macro.

The 100-400/5.6Z absolutely blows all the 80-400's out of the water.
The 24-70/4Z outperforms any of the 2.8G's.
Same story with the 14-24, in fact, the 14-30/4 is a terrific replacement
The 50/1.8Z at 1.8 is sharper than my old 1.4G was at f/5.6. It is spooky how good the 50 1.8S is.
