Nikon Z6ii + Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S Kit
Was 3299 when Prime sale started, just went down a bit more.
And there's a promotion, get Manfrotto Compact MKCOMPACTADV-BK Portable Advanced Aluminum Tripod with 3-Way Head for free.
I was hoping for the Nikon Z5 + 24-200mm, but it did not go on sale, and I couldn't resist this.
CamelCamelCamel.
Hard disagree.
Does the f2.8 offer better image quality sure. But unless you NEED the low light performance or the f2.8 boke the f4 is better. The f4 is smaller & lighter, and better value. While the image quality difference between the two are extremely marginal. Unless you are shooting on a Z7/Z7II/Z9 at full resolution then you can't even tell the difference between the two.
Yes, the Z 24-70 f2.8 has better image quality, but the Z 24-70 f2.8 offers 99.9% of the image quality of the f2.8 for a lot less and is a light ligher.
You can say the same about alot of things like cars, audios etc. Is a $150K car 3 times better than a $50K car? If someone wants optimal quality and can afford it, they will buy it.
but the Z 24-70 f2.8 (sic) offers 99.9% of the image quality of the f2.8
I beg to differ, I don't know what camera/lenses you based your opinion on, but I have actually owned and used both Z-mount F2.8 and F4 Z lenses on a Z6 II !
A lot of professional photographers would disagree with you LOL. Otherwise you would see all the event pros running around using F4 lenses :-p
P.S. And most people don't shoot in daylight only, everyday usage would include low light, under shades, indoors etc.
Why take my unqualified words, read for yourself https://www.dxomark.com/nikon-nikkor-z-24-70mm-f-2-8-s-revie… and https://www.dxomark.com/nikon-nikkor-z-24-70mm-f4s-lens-revi… and tell me that the F4 offers 99.9% of the image quality of the F2.8 :-p
When mounted on the high-resolution 45.7MP Nikon Z 7 camera, the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S achieves an overall score of 36. That means it is the best 24-70mm lens we have tested to date. It’s also the fifth-highest-scoring zoom lens in our database. Its sharpness score of 36 is also a significant step up from the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S.
Here is one of the most respected & skilled Nikon reviewers comparing the two lenses. The TLDR is the f4 is more then good enough unless you NEED the f2.8 like shooting in low light.
Hi - I just got my Z6II and was looking to get the z mount 24-70 f2.8. How did you get it for $2810? Ta
It was in the link in my initial post on Prime Day yesterday direct from Amazon AU. Looks like sold out because the current seller is not Amazon AU.
Thanks! Would you mind sharing that link?
@rafsta: Link in first comment in this post https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/12394767/redir
However you no longer see Amazon AU as seller, which usually meant they sold out. Yesterday they showed "Prime Exclusive Deal. As a Prime member, this deal is exclusively for you."
