My 28-400 virtually lives on my Z50ii especially for our afternoon walks along the shore - great for eagles, ospreys and herons as well as landscapes and sunsets. When 42mm equivalent isn’t wide enough I have the option of the very pocketable 16-50 or the wider and slightly larger 12-28.
My other Z body is a Z7 that I have owned since its release and of course I now find its Expeed 6 performance rather lackluster but still love the resolution, so while tempted by a Z5ii I have resisted. A Z8 would offer everything I would like in one body but at the expense size and weight. Fingers crossed for a Z7iii though that doesn’t look very likely.
In the meantime the Z7 and Z50ii complement each other very well.
