Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8
The value fast standard zoom on Z, a 28-75mm f/2.8 at 565 g with compact 67mm filters, and a sensible enthusiast entry point. It's the affordable way into constant-f/2.8 shooting, well matched to Z6/Z5-series bodies. A smart first fast zoom for enthusiasts; note it starts at 28mm rather than 24mm for wide framing, and it relies on body IBIS since it has no in-lens stabilization.
