I am debating over the 65mm f/2 APO Macro or the 75mm f/1.5 Nokton to pair with the 35 APO for the Zf. I think I would prefer the 35/75 pair as I already have the Z 105 MC for macro. I already have these focal lengths covered with the Z f/1.2 primes, but I like the idea of the CV lenses for the Zf.
I had the same debate last year and decided for the 75 Nokton. It is excellent for landscapes stopped down and can have a dreamy look up to f2. The 65 does not have the latter and for macro I prefer a higher focal length. Later I got the 50 APO as well.
I decided to give the 75mm f/1.5 a try. I realized that the 65mm f/2 isn't any lighter than my MC 105 f/2.8 S. Seems like the 75 has alot of character for portraits and cleans up nicely for landscapes so versatile for its focal length., which should compliment the 35 APO for a 2 lens MF kit on the Zf.

Edit: I went ahead and purchased the 65mm f/2 APO-L to decide which is a better fit. I do like shooting close so would like to give it a try. I will likely only keep one to pair with the 35 APO
