going to Tokyo in two weeks and honestly panicking because I havent picked a lens for my Z6. stuck between the 24-120mm f/4 and the 24-70 f/4 kit. my budget is capped at $900 so i cant afford the 2.8 stuff. is the extra reach of the 120 worth the weight or nah?

Honestly, you gotta go with the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S for a city like Tokyo! I used one last year and the versatility is just insane compared to the shorter kit lens. Since you're on a $900 budget, you can easily find a mint condition used copy for around $850 or so, which is basically the sweet spot for value right now. The technical specs really tell the story here:
- Extended 5x zoom range vs the 2.9x on the smaller kit.
- Constant f/4 aperture across the whole range which is clutch for street shots.
- S-line optics mean its sharp even at 120mm.
- Weight is only about 630g, so its not gonna kill your neck while walking around Shibuya. The extra reach at the long end lets you get those amazing compressed street shots that the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S just cant touch. Its easily the best all-in-one setup for the Z6, especially for travel!
