Finally got my Z6iii and Im so hyped for my trip to Iceland next month! I need one lens that can do it all since I dont want to be swapping glass in the wind and rain.
So I was thinking about the 24-120mm f/4 S because everyone says its the perfect travel lens but then my logic was maybe I should just go for the 24-70mm f/2.8 S used if I can find a deal? I have about $1300 to spend. The 24-120 gives more reach for those waterfalls but that f/2.8 is tempting for lower light stuff. Also looked at the 24-200mm superzoom but worried it wont be sharp enough... what do you guys think for a one-and-done setup?
I've been super happy with the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S. It works well and the extra reach is huge for those Iceland landscapes. Definitely go for that one!
Just thought of this, but you might want to be careful buying used if you're heading into that kind of weather. Not sure if the seals stay perfect over time? Quick question, are you doing any aurora hunting? I would suggest:
- Checking for a warranty
- Packing tons of microfiber cloths IIRC the wind is crazy, so i dont know if you'll want to risk swapping glass out there anyway.
Came here to say the same thing lol. Great minds think alike I guess.
