third party lenses for z mount?

[chrismitchell]

If I had to guess at the answer.  (Save up and get the Nikkor S line.)    Some of the non Nikon Z mounts cost a lot less than the Nikkor lenses.  Are they worth owning?  I just ordered an Rokinon 14mm F2.8 Full Frame Ultra Wide Angle z mount.  Just about $2,000 less than the Nikkor 14 - 24.   Next week I'll find out if I like it.   Are any of the non nikon z mount lenses any good?

You're asking AFTER ordering one?

It seems the Samyang/Rokinon 14 mm for Z mount has the same optical specs as the F-mount version so it is likely the image quality will be the same.

Ah Ha!  ... 🙂

Well, as long as you're into MF, I think you'll be fine. I've not tried any non-Nikon Z AF lenses.

I've not got any non-Nikon Z fit lenses that i put directly on my Z6ii, but all the non-Nikon F mount lenses have been fine via the FTZ.

Except the latest F mount Tamron 90mm macro (F017N) which, for some odd reason, has to go back to the factory for some new parts. Firmware won't cut it. 

If you're not the owner from new, via an Authorized dealer, it's very expensive!

I am not sure if other lenses would do better but I've seen very good milky way images shot with this lens.  Set to infinity and you are good to go.  🙂
