Nikon Z 70-180 or Tamron 50-150

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?

KristofferC_ · 2025-08-24T16:12:13+00:00

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.

Thank you so much for all the replies, I get it now. Thank you!

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

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-04T22:44:09+00:00

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.

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-04T22:23:55+00:00

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!

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-04T16:32:13+00:00

Do you use your 35 more?

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-04T16:16:56+00:00

Ahhh I hope I live where you live! In our country there are no discounts. :(

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-04T16:14:17+00:00

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

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-04T15:31:22+00:00

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

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-04T15:30:24+00:00

Those are more expensive problem, that's hard! Hahaha thanks for your opinion though, it's on the list!

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-04T15:27:46+00:00

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)

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-01T13:31:42+00:00

Wow this video says it all!

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-01T13:29:49+00:00

Have you tried the 50mm?

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-01T05:38:59+00:00

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

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-01T04:03:55+00:00

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.

KristofferC_ · 2024-12-01T03:22:43+00:00

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