[Leica] Nikon Z50: 3 Dog Photos, 2 Others

[Mark Rabiner]

Right now for over a month now I have a 28mm 1.8G on my cropped DX format Nikon D500. This crops my 28mm into a 42mm lens which is true normal with nice breathing space around a standard 50mm lens. So I'm shooting a 42mm format and it's not getting old fast. Its feeling like I'm always getting the shot and not missing out on many.
I have no VR but all six are 1.8's kind of like a matched set. Three are Gold Ring and the 28 is Gold ring without being ED! People think Gold Ring means ED I have evidence it does not.
The only one which is not ASPH is the 85mm which is also not Gold Ring but the lens which gets the best reviews with everybody of the bunch. Maybe tied with the 20mm which gives me a 30mm equivalent on my D500.
Not shot a zoom lens in quite a few months I just realized I again have realized there is life without zooming.

F 42mm and be there!

    Howard, the Z50 has gone back to lensrentals so I'm afraid I can't help.
    
    I am left with my Z6 but I'm not sure they are really comparable.
    
    Thanks,
