I like this.
All that is required is the 70-200 f2.8 and it is a full set.


What about native 300mm PF, a 5 or 600mm PF, a 16mm (or 8mm) Fisheye and what about an 85mm f1.4 or even faster? These are all very important lenses, a 58mm f/0.9 Noct is all very well but something of a niche lens surely?

No doubt there are other important lenses, like native PC tilt shift lenses, which may not be in everybody's bag but for those who do need them they are indispensable. The Z mount should be particularly good for the T/S lenses having such a large throat, it should give the designers much more freedom to achieve greater potential than with the F mount, especially on the shift movement.
