Now THAT'S a lens that doesn't feel necessary. Doesn't take the place of either the 24-70/4 or 24-120/4 with that very limiting aperture range.
There are people for whom Z5 II is either a 2nd/3rd camera or a toy. There are a lot of people for whom Z5 II is the camera to look up to. This lens is for them. At 105mm its subject separation is about same as 70mm at f/4 but it is cheap and light. This also has 0.5 macro capability.
If the IQ is any good it will be a good alternative to 24-70 for me. Canon has similar kit lens, but its IQ is subpar.
