Nikkor Z 28-400mm?

[Lee R]

Thanks for your detailed response. I think it makes a lot of sense. I have the 24-120 and 100-400 for a high IQ 2 lens travel set. I have used the 24-120 by itself quite often and it does very well but sometimes I’m need a little more focal length.I like the size of my 24-70 and was thinking of what to pair with it, but realistically either of the super zooms would probably be a better option than taking two lenses for the times 70mm is not enough. If I wanted to get to 400, my 100-400 would probably make the trip so leaning towards a 24-200. I think the wider end would be more practical for me because when I took the 18-135 Fuji I always felt I needed a little wider.

I looked at the 20mm Viltrox you mentioned and see some conflicting reviews. How are you finding the corners of that lens? Some reviews say they are really soft others say sharp across the frame. It seems like a great price and is the right size.

It's not sharp across the frame at f 2.8, at F4 it's ok in the corners but not as sharp as my 20 1.8G or the 14-30 S at F4. It's more about compact/light/costs not much for the 20 2.8.

It's a really compact 20mm that's not terrible for under $200 so I didn't expect 20 1.8S out of that thing.

Here it is at 2.8 with the 20 G. They're pretty close at F4. Flickr has the full size ones if you want to look more closely and there's a 1430 at F4 to compare.

Thanks for sharing. The victrox one appears to be set to private on Flickr. As shared here it doesn’t seem to be too bad, especially at F4.

It's not bad, just not as sharp. Totally usable and it's very inexpensive. It's really about how compact and light it is. I'm sure you could find a used copy nearly like new for $130 or so.

I'm going to delete those brick walls now as nobody probably wants a brick wall thread.

I have it sitting in my cart for now and will look for deal on a 24-200 for a while. Thanks!
