Happy owner   of 24-70 f4 z lens also considering the 24-120 f4 :)
I use to shoot at f4 and 24-70 has a limited separation at 50 or 70 compared to my 40 f2,  so I think 24-120 will have a more prime like separation for portraits on 85, 105 or 120 f4
Of coarse I do have  50 and 85 1.8G for that mater but I never cary them ;D

24-120 will be a good company to the new to me 180-600 as a only two lens walk around (birding) set 8)

the Z 24-120 f/4 convinced me to go Z with FX. Lots of IQ for the 24-120 Z7II combo at just 90 grams more than the very good AFS 16-80 f/2.8-4 G D7200 combo. The same range of view angles, the 5x normal zoom range. The 24-120 adds closeup capability to 0.39x closeup magnification at 120mm, making it a very complete walk around combo.  I find it matches well with the Z 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 S lens  as a 2 lens travel combo. The 100-400 combines 4x zoom versatility with relatively light weight for a long lens. With a crop to 12 Mpix on the Z7II one gets close to 800mm FX equivalent view. It has 0.38x magnification capability with good working distance.The 77mm filter diameter is used by both lenses, a bonus when a pol or ND filter may be used.

I have the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S Lens and the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S kit Lens


I continue to be impressed by the sharpness, lightness, and general useability of the kit Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens. The f/2.8 version is often just too heavy for me to take with me.
