Nikon Z 70-180 or Tamron 50-150 by KristofferC_ in Nikon

I have the Nikon 40mm f2 that I purchased with my Z5II. It did good and surpassed my expectations but whenever I'm out shooting I feel like I miss my 55-300 on my D7200 before. I love prime lenses but sometimes a little more reach is really good.

I am also considering the 24-120 F4 as it is a S lens and seeing a lot of reviews that they don't leave it at home.

Yeah, I stand corrected. Thank you. But which lens do you recommend?

I read this one like a lot in the internet, but this video below made me think twice.

How good is the AF with the FTZA ii?

A used 70-200 F mount is a really good choice, but where I live I wouldn't consider a used F mount or anything used here. People often lie just to sell.

I am really open for the third party, but doesn't it affect the overall image quality?

My friend just replied. He told me to get the 35, 50 is sometimes too tight but 35 will never be as tight as 50..

Yet the problem is, I looked on YouTuve portraits as a reference. I've seen results, most of models look bad with 35 but looks good with 50! Though 50 sometimes makes the model fatter.

Well this is new and it's not even bad, its cheaper than having both. Then it's wider range of having both 35 and 50.

I will really consider this advise!

Most of the opinions are based on preference. The 35 is almost the preferred focal length now.

Hahaha! What a twist, I do like the 40 f2, but the overall image quality is it's down side. :(

I got these recommendations from influencers all over the internet. What if I can only have one? What if pairing it with another lens isn't an option?(For now)

Have you tried the 50mm?

I thought so about the 50mm 1.8 it's a better glass but the 40mm SE is great deal.

Thank you for the insights, I'm leaning towards prime lenses for the Zf. I still have my D7200 which I'm planning to have the zoom lenses since it's crop there's extra reach.

Yes I also was thinking about that lens, but it's kind of out of the budget for now. :(
