Monocle Iris 50mm f/4

Very fit for purpose First, I am not new to photography, buying this kit lens as a toe dip into Z water. I have 5 Nikon bodies and 40 lenses. I bought the Z5 as a walkaround / travel solution. I use other bodies for low light, sports, nature and macro photography. I also bought the Z5 because it adds vibration reduction to my wonderful old F mount prime (and zoom) lenses using the FTZ adapter. So, let's recognize the concerns with the Nikkor Z 24-50 f/4-6.3; it is expensive, plastic, has a small aperture that is not extremely sharp when fully open. Also, important to me, it doesn't offer great bokeh. Here's why it works for me; it is very compact, light, has a wide 24mm view, and can go to 75mm in DX mode, focuses accurately, is very sharp when the aperture is closed down... a good walkaround solution. If I want bokeh I also have large aperture, very accurate 40mm and 55 mm Z mount compact primes. And finally, I have many other legacy lens options with the FTZ. Some are larger zooms; you hardly notice the FTZ adapter with them. As to the slow aperture, the Z5 sensor is so sensitive that the higher ISO's have little noise; low light is not a problem, nor encountered often in walkaround photography. I got my new, white box copy of this lens at a large discount on eBay, so the expensive part went away. I am grateful to Nikon for offering this wonderful, compact solution that fits in so well with the rest of my Nikon gear. It meets my needs very well. Read full review

Great compact lens for Nikon Z I have 24 70 2.8s but I want have a traveling compact lens. This one is just the ideal lens for me, no matter the sharpness or the focus speed are both great for me.
