The first image is 1200px x 800px at 98kb, tiny size low resolution.
15 x 10 and 300dpi is not applicable.
Downsize your original 'without' any cropping to somewhere between 2400 to 3800 px wide. This will give around 1.5 to 2 meg file size when saved at approx 8/9 quality. Ensure you select (store original) when adding the attachment.

no adjustments at all.

I'm still seeing the same file as before, 1200 x 800 at 98kb. If the image were larger it would show the 'download' under it. Did you click the (store original) box ?

Yes, that worked perfectly and now shows the potential of the lens far more clearly.
I would say the second image (portrait orientation) is the most revealing with respect to feather clarity and would only require very minor basic pp to make it outstanding. It's also noteworthy that these two were taken at 1/50s and 1/25s.
For info, I do not consider myself a pixel peeper but have a simple basic personal assessment criteria, if I can view an image filling my 28" 4k monitor and it looks good to me w.r.t IQ sharpness/clarity the equipment used is good enough for me.

I'm starting to like this lens more and more. Again, I don't think it's outstanding in any aspect, but it's good to very good in most so far. I don't think the micro contrast is as good as my voigtlander primes, but why should I expect it to be? I'm going to try and shoot some landscapes and compare it closer to the Nikon Z 24-200 at the 100 and 200mm end and also the 300 f4 that's the F mount lens at F8 and F10 and see if the Tamron holds it's own against those 2 lenses. I suspect it will against the 24-200, not as sure against the 300 prime but it should be close enough for me to want to part with those 2 lenses and keep the Tamron. I have the 24-120 S lens as well. So between the 20mm prime, the 24-120 and the 70-300, that should be all I need for landscapes in the future since I dont do astro and most of my images are at F8 and F10 for landscapes. Not all of course but the 20 is a f1.8 and the 24-120 is an F4, but you likely knew that already :0

I'm really starting to like this lens. This was from this morning. Yes, I did some minor PP but it's pretty much right out of camera. There is no chromatic aberration and minimal vignetting.

Thank you all for your input. I appreciate the images also.
I will look again at some of the suggested alternatives. I think I'll wait more on deciding because Tamron is coming out with more Z lenses and Sigma can't be far behind. I'd prefer only Z lenses so as to not have to fuss with the FTZ. And still waiting on the Nikon Z 200-600 but not holding my breath on that one. Pretty sure they'll price it beyond what I'm interested in spending.

Can you give a clue as to what “this lens” is?

1. If you are doing MOVING subjects AF will matter and if AF matters, stick with Nikon lens.
2. Stay away from TC's if at all possible.......consider cropping with pixel enlargement.
3. KEEP the FX 70-300 and loose the DX version !
4. Be happy with 200-500 !

If you MUST buy something, get the Tamron 100-400 F mount and put it on the Z50 - light, sharp and modestly priced ......

Tamron 70-300 Z lens. It's a fairly new lens.
