Pros:Light, razor-sharp, fast and reliable, very nice bokeh
Cons:Zooming lengthens but it is a way to keep the size reduced to 70mm
Opinion:On Nikon Z6 II I used the tamron 70-210 f4 with adapter, I also used it a lot for portraits. I got this lens on the Nikon website as refurbished, saving almost € 400 in excellent condition. It's a great lens, light for its category, constant aperture at 2.8 and excellent bokeh. In the future I would like to try it with a teleconverter to see how it behaves but really a lot of stuff!
Opinion:My work of lightening equipment continues, I replaced the Z8 with the ZF and for the problems I have with my hands it was necessary and now I have given away the Tamron 35-150 and the Tamron 150-500 and I took the Nikon Z 24-120 and the 70-180 and at the moment I am fully satisfied, light, very sharp from edge to edge, Perfect for ceremonies but also for non-demanding sporting events, an excellent lens with a reasonable cost that allows you to replace the 70-200 which is other stuff but also other expense and weight. Fully satisfied.
Pros:Everything, especially lightness and compactness. Nitidissimo even at full open, I'm using it with great satisfaction in events. The minimum focusing distance is also appreciable.
Cons:For now, nothing
Opinion:I bought this lens on the Nikon outlet as soon as it came out for 1049€, in my opinion a new lens arrived at home. I did a lot of tests and also a comparison with a fixed camera on a tripod with the 70\\200 2.8 Z. To my great surprise, apart from the shorter focal length, comparing the files, I have not seen any striking differences, the friend who lent me the 70\\200 was stunned looking at the photos, even zooming in on very significant differences there are none, files analyzed on a dell ultrasharp 32 inch 4k, ultimately I highly recommend it to everyone. With less than 3 kilos (backpack excluded) I carry with me Z8, 14\\30 4, 24\\70 2.8 and 70\\180 2.8, complete and very light kit, the shoulders thank :) Question for Serpero : but is it necessary to lock the lens when not in use ? I haven't read any special warnings but I don't want to ruin it by not blocking it during transport.
Cons:It bothers me a bit that I have to lock the zoom after use and unlock it before use. It's nonsense, but it's the only thing that didn't convince me too much.
Opinion:As I often write, my equipment is almost always in my backpack and I take it for a walk in the mountains. Thanks also to this lens with practically only the weight of my old 200-400f4 I can bring Z6ii, 14-30 f4, 24-70 f4, 70-180 f2.8, 400f4.5, 1.4x and 2x. I practically cover almost from focal length 14 to 800. It is therefore understandable that lenses like these, which one carries around without thinking too much about it and which, if necessary, prove to be able to cope very well can make the difference. I've never tried the 70-200 f2.8 and I can also expect it to be superior in quality, but I think because of the portability it would often stay at home. Summing up, I would recommend this lens to which I give a nice 9 only because I think the 10 belongs to the 70-200 f2.8.
Opinion:Really gorgeous lens, very sharp, lightweight, beautiful and professional construction. For event photography it is ideal for the light weight that allows you to keep it attached to the camera without straining your wrists, forearms etc. too much. Also very valid in the field of portraiture. I haven't seen any aberrations so far. Bought on the Nikon Store outlet it's a bargain (1000€ vs 1500) and arrives like new. Considering that the new 70-200 costs 3k, it's definitely a nice saving. Although I imagine that the quality, both in terms of image and construction, is on two different levels.
