Thats still not a bad combination, at all, particularly if you use 300mm a lot. But today Im going to alter my two lens travel suggestion for Z5, Z6, Z6 II, Z7, and Z7 II owners: 14-30mm f4 S Extends you into wide territory without a lot of drama. The lens thats probably on your camera most of the time, since it adroitly moves from a fairly wide angle to a moderate telephoto without any significant issues. A Z6 kit with these two lenses clocks in at 61.1 ouncesless than four pounds; 1730g for my non-US friendsand is very pack friendly. You can consider modest-sized backpacks that have a cameralens accessible area at the bottom with lots of general purpose storage at the top. Yet youre competently covering a 10.3 to 103 horizontal angle of view. Thom Hogan'S Complete Guide To The Nikon D500 How To Use ItIf you need macro, add an extension tube and learn when and how to use it. The reason why I mention this is because those of you considering picking up a Z system over the holiday are going to be confronted with Nikons kit lens choices, or, in some cases, lack of kit lens choices. The temptation for the more casual shooterand most travel photography is more casual in nature than highly specificis going to be to pick up the 24-50mm or 24-70mm lens because of the way Nikon is pricing and kitting. Theres a bit of deviousness to how Nikon is packaging product, though: theyre trying to encourage more lens buying later on. Thing is, the 24-200mm is pretty much the same optically through that reduced focal range, but then gives you a competent, but slow aperture, 70-200mm on top of that, without having to change lenses. Nailed it. Of course, Z50 buyers should just pick up the two-lens kit that Nikon sells (16-50mm, 50-250mm). One reason why Ive not really branched into books for other brands is that Nikons iteration process keeps me pretty busy on its own. I was working on two general photography books at the point where Nikon announced the Z6 II and Z7 II cameras. Thom Hogan'S Complete Guide To The Nikon D500 Update Action ToIll get back to those new works soon enough, but in the meantime I had an outstanding task in updating the Complete Guide to the Nikon Z6 and Z7 to a Third Edition, and I was waiting for Nikons camera update action to decide what to do. Heres what I know doesnt work: trying to cram four somewhat different cameras into one book. One of the few complaints about my Complete Guide to the Nikon D3, D3s, and D3x, which only covered three cameras, was how complex the tables and difference descriptions started to be. Thom Hogan'S Complete Guide To The Nikon D500 Plus Footnotes AndWhat happens as you try to cram more cameras into one work is that tables begin getting more complex and frequent as you try to call out all the differences, plus footnotes and other notes start to exponentially sprout as you discover all the small differences between the models. And Nikon makes a lot of small changes that often go unnoticed by many. If you thought 1090 pages was a lot, add in two more cameras and youd end up with plenty more pages to wade through. Moreover, I expect the original Z6 and Z7 to now remain pretty much as is in terms of firmware, while the Z6 II and Z7 II are likely to get firmware additions during their lifetime, which would further complicate a book that tried to include all of the cameras. I knew that when Nikon announced their two-year updates to the Z6 and Z7 that Id have to make some sort of decision about how many books, and what goes in what book. As it turns out with this new camera introduction, there were two most logical choices of how to split things up: First generation (Z6 and Z7) in one book, second generation (Z6 II and Z7 II) in another.
