Even Nikon realizes they destroyed the market for their 24-70 f4 when they released the 24-120 f4. That said its still a sharper lens than the okd F-mount series and with a Z6 will not hold anyone back.

Great price.

Apparently the Nikon Z6 II is further discounted (10% off) for the 24 to 70 mm lens kit for $1,871.95. Thoughts on whether or not the price difference of $500 is worth it between the first and second generation? Thanks.

Depends how you intend to use it. I'm a landscape photographer primarily and while on occasion will use smart tracking features for focus, it's not mission critical. In that regards paying extra for the Z6 II is nearly useless.

If you need a redundant dual card body and/or the few frames speed difference with dual image processing for a paid gig then sure, it is worth the added cost, but only if without those it's a deal breaker.

The same damn sensor takes the same damn pics otherwise.

As for the 24-70 f4... Its $350-$400 all day, everyday now so less of a deal with a Z6 II than it is with the regular Z6.

I don't think the Z6 is a good buy unless you want to use it to get into the Z lens world and plan to upgrade later. If you plan to keep the body for years I'd wait.

So what is interesting is to get the z6 with the stomps recorder to have a 4k prores raw workflow. You could get a few of these set ups and really run a great multi cam setup if you wanted

This is just my 2 cents. I own a z7 and z7ii. I also own the 24-70 4 and 2.8 version. First off there will be a performance difference in the cameras. Is it massive, no. Its a little quicker focussing and it works at a greater distance with its eye focussing. One fact you have to take into account is that of course a Z6 will cost less than a Z6ii but if you upgrade a Z6 will be worth considerably less than a Z6ii. So comparing value for money is not apples to oranges. I shoot Models on location and in studio. I have both the 24-70 4 and the 24-70 2.8. I see the 24-120 as a great street lens. I see the 24-70 as a great studio lens. When Im editing on skin sometimes Im at 200 to 300 percent. For 350$-400 the 24-70 4 is a steal. From F4 and past the 4 and 2.8 are equal pretty much. The 2,8 is slightly better. The stop difference is really the main difference. I looked at the 24-120 but the difference in price wasnt worth it. Since I have the 70-200 2.8 the extra length just wasnt needed or worth the money. To put it in perspective. I have a Zeiss Milvus a Sigma Art 40mm and the 24-70 in 2.8. The 24-70 F4 does not get embarrassed by these lens and that says alot. My point is dont feel that the 120 lens walks all over this lens because it doesnt. If you need the extra reach and want to spend more money by all means buy the 120 version. Otherwise, buy the 24-70 and spend the money left over on another lens that would compliment what you have. Fun Fact. I just got rid of my D850. I have never felt so sad parting with a camera before. Thank You Nikon. You saved the best DSLR ever for your final effort.

The 24-120 is meant to be a vacation lens.... The major difference you omit is on top of being a carry-all, its sharper than the 24-70 f4.

It is indeed a harder sell if you already own the 24-70 f4, but the added cost to get 50mm more reach with subtle, but real performance gain when you are in a situation such as travel should not be overlooked.

TL: DR, like all things, it is just another tool to fit specific situations and should not be dismissed by someone shooting studio work or with large kits, able to access all their tools at all times.

If you read my reply, you would have read where I said 24-120 this was a great street lens. I said the 24-70 was a great studio lens. So the only thing omitted was your reading comprehension. You must be a pixel peeper because I dont see major differences at 200 and 300 %. Definately not enough to see. You seem to have taken this personally. I didnt dismiss anything. Your reading your bias into this. Please reread because obviously you didnt understood what I wrote the first time. Let me tell you something. I shot scenics for 30 years. I had 4x5, Medium format, so I do have a clue about street and scenic photography. BTW. The 120 is over 2.5 the cost used. So obviosly you dont take into account photographers that dont have your money to pay that extra.

I've been monitoring the Nikonusa pricing for the Refurbished Z6 body and z6 with 24-70 lens.
Before this past Sunday, they were $999.95 and $1349.95, but today they both jumped to $1999.95 and $1699.95 (body only even costed more than with lens?!?). Is this a mistake or some kind of marketing strategy to push people to buy the new model?

I noticed z6ii has a price cut of $300 = $1699.95 for body only after this weekend.
