Nikon Z 70-200mm or F 7-200mm & Converter?

[FarrahBull]

Good afternoon,

I’ve just picked the missus up at Nikon Z50 and a Z6ii will be winging its way to me soon.

An older F Mount 70-200mm F2.8 is incredibly well priced now. Obviously the new Z version is significantly more expensive.

Any reason not to go for the older version and a converter, which I need anyway for my current F mount lenses?

Thanks all!

The "new" version is strongly rumoured to be replaced soon, with a mk ii.
I would wait until end Jan before deciding, as when it is announced the mk 1 version price will fall.

Not much to lose by getting old used version and reselling if needed...

On the other hand if it is like canon ef f2.8 versions it may be a waste of time

Also worth taking a look at the Nikon 70-180mm 2.8 Z as an alternative to the 70-200mm 2.8 Z, much lighter and no adapter required.
Or the Tamron version.
