I previously had the 24-200. I tried the Fuji system, (sold all my Nikon gear), for a couple of years before returning to Nikon. This time around I bought the 24-120. Tbh, I really can’t decide if I made the right choice with the 24-120. It’s undoubtedly a nicer lens to use, the extra button and...

A snap of a cool, old building that I spotted while mooching around Shropshire a while back. Z5ii + 24-120 Abandoned by Jason, on Flickr

Andy Mumford uses one. He's got a review on his YouTube channel.

I was just about to mention the z5ii if you can stretch your budget a little bit. I bought mine the week before it went on sale..:LOL:

Z5, if 24mp is enough for you. Excellent camera and great value used. Uses SD cards as well.

Hi all. Anyone here use(d) the Tamron 70-300.? I’ve Googled it to death and it seems a decent choice to go with my Z5ii, 16-30 and 24-120. Light, fairly inexpensive and apparently decent quality. It’ll most likely be the least used of the three lenses so I don’t see a downside. Any thoughts...

New toy day a few days back so a quick dash up to The Wirral seemed a good idea. Nikon Z5ii + 24-120 New Brighton Beach by Jason, on Flickr

I went along to Jessops at the weekend to try and decide on a replacement for my disappointing 16-80. A play with other stuff and a long conversation with the sales chap saw me walk out with a Nikon Z5ii. A few lenses in part-ex softened the blow to the bank balance. Lens-wise, I got the Nikon...

Thanks for the heads-up. I’m not buying until after the New Year unfortunately as a new iPad has put a dent in my paycheck this month. :oops: :$

Thanks. I've more or less decided that I'll go for the 16-55f2.8. Just need to decide on the newer version or a 2nd hand copy of my mk1. The 16-80 is worth so little as a trade in that I may as well keep it as a lighter option and have the 16-55 for 'proper' days out with the camera. I'm...

Thanks. The Fujilove review was a bit vague....

Thanks for all the help and info. :) I've had Sigma and Tamron lenses in the past, on a different system, and was always happy with them. I think the lack of weather-sealing rules them out though. The 16-55mk1 is a bit of a lump to lug about but is available for a very decent price secondhand...

Hi all, I'm thinking of replacing my 16-80 lens. I've never been overly impressed with it so I think it's time for an upgrade. I guess the new 16-50 'kit lens' is the obvious choice - reasonably priced and lightweight and apparently good quality. Anyone here use one? I have thought about the...
