Mikeroetex - I agree with your post until you seemed to be saying that you would acquire the anticipated Z lenses of 24-105 and 100-400. If the lenses are sharp throughout their focal lengths, why would you need the 24-105? I use the 24-70 as my walk around lens. Since it does not extend past 70mm, I have to use my feet to get closer to the subject. The lens is so sharp. Cropping needs to be done in certain situations but since ai shoot raw, I’m able to keep the sharpness generally.
I don't think I would need the 24-105, but look forward to 100-400. However, if 24-105 is a fixed aperture, even f4, I would trade that for the 24-70 and carry it, plus a 100-400 as my walk around and not have a gap from 70-100. Also might eliminate need for a 85mm for portraits.

I have both lenses and don't look at the 24mm-200mm as a replacement. I like the f4 aperture throughout the range and also the low light performance of the 24mm-70mm. I also use that lens on the Z50 (lack of VR doesn't bother me; I generally try to use higher shutter speeds and if I am using a slow shutter speed I find a way to keep the camera steady) since there are only two DX lenses for the Z50.
There are many DX lenses for the Z50 with the FTZ adapter. I have the adapter (from my Z6) and several great DX lenses. So far the two lenses with the Z50 are doing the job...but I have options. And, of course, you can use all your FX lenses with the FTZ.
I’ll actually mostly use the Z50 with my 200-500 (FX) when not on air travel trips.

I have the Z6 and (finally) both the lenses stated. I’ve only had the 24-200 a couple of weeks. But my initial impression is that the 24-200 will be on it 95% of the time.
The other 5% will be with FTZ and 16-35 or 200-500. Maybe a small use of FX AF-P 70-300.
So if, as I expect, the 24-70 doesn’t go on the camera for a year I’ll sell it.

ID....You are the 1st to make that statement. This is what my 'gut' has been telling me. I'll give you and others some more time with both lenses for some additional feedback. Next up will be the comparison with the 70-200 f/4..Part II.
Thanks.
