I agree, is a pity this is not a constant F4 lens. Or at the very least, stay constant F4 until half way in at 100m!! Make is a solid competitor to the classic 24-105mm f4 work horse lens.
Also, when are the Nikon DX Z Mount lenses coming? Although I suppose the Z50 is their only camera for now
Lens must start shipping from early June.
