What's the best all-around lens for Nikon Z if I can only buy one? Im finally upgrading from my old D750 and Im so hyped!
I read the 24-120mm f/4 S is king but others say the 24-70 f/2.8 is better for night shots. I have $1300 and a Tokyo trip in three weeks so I gotta decide...
- Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S: cheap and tiny.
- Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR: best range. Save your money for sushi. Travel zooms beat heavy f/2.8 bulk.
I would suggest the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S for Tokyo. Just be careful with the f/4 aperture in low light, tho the lens is incredibly sharp and versatile.

Handheld or tripod? If you need speed, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 fits your budget way better than the 24-70 S-line. Just be careful with the focus speed, it can be a bit slower in the dark.
