The 14-30 f4 just announced will be smaller and lighter than the 24-70 f4.

I like this.
All that is required is the 70-200 f2.8 and it is a full set.

What about native 300mm PF, a 5 or 600mm PF, a 16mm (or 8mm) Fisheye and what about an 85mm f1.4 or even faster? These are all very important lenses, a 58mm f/0.9 Noct is all very well but something of a niche lens surely?

No doubt there are other important lenses, like native PC tilt shift lenses, which may not be in everybody's bag but for those who do need them they are indispensable. The Z mount should be particularly good for the T/S lenses having such a large throat, it should give the designers much more freedom to achieve greater potential than with the F mount, especially on the shift movement.

I honestly cant see the point of a 58mm f0.9 lens. Seems like a jewellery item with only very limited use. If you bump the ISO two or three stops it is the same exposure, I know there is the limited DoF effect as well but I can do that in Photoshop.

The other lenses you mention are all useable with the FTZ.
Not sure about the fisheye end stuff.

Using the 14-24mm f2.8 AFS on the FTZ on Z7.
BTW:  That is not my shadow on the rock but moss!!  I did a double take when I saw the image at first.  There wasnt that much light as it was 10/10 cloud.

Golitha Falls, Cornwall.
In HDR (5 image set).
Is it worth the extra images?

Interested to hear comments about the relative merits of these last two posts.These are straight out the software without me needing to fiddle and didle as some people do.  I dont spend more than 2-5mins on an edit.  That is unless it is for a customer.
HDR and non-HDR.
