Any old excuse will do.

Best to you with your good choice.


Thank you. The Nikon Z6ii has been a good learning tool. I will step up to a Nikon Z8 next year. That should do it for digital cameras. I still use my Nikon F2 film cameras and my 500C Hassy. Adding a digital camera has been expensive. The Z8 uses the same battery as my Z6ii, so the added expense will be the Z8 body. I will use the Z8 in the studio. The Z6ii has been nice for street photos. I have been using the Z28mm lens and the quality has been good. I prefer the quality of my Z35mm F/1.8 S, but the Z28mm F/2.8 is small and compact.

You are welcome.

One new Nikon Z-mount lens you might want to check out is the new Nikon Z-mount 17-28mm f2.8 lens. This lens is the same lens internally as the Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 lens that has been already in Sony E-mount. I have had one since 2020 and it is excellent. I have used it with my 61mp Sony A7RIV, and 50mp Sony A1 and am very happy with it in E-mount. It is $200 USD more in Nikon Z-mount than in E-mount, only Nikon knows why, but the lens is excellent, and fairly light and compact for this focal range.

Cheers and best to you.

Thanks. I have a F mount Nikkor 17-35mm zoom which I purchased several years ago for my F2AS, which is used in manual mode. The quality of the lens is very good. I need to purchase the adapter so I can use it with my Z6ii.

Because any camera other than the latest models will always deliver inferior results? Surely you jest. :-/
