One day I'll test all my lenses against each other and rationlise my hoard.
I look forward to seeing/reading the test results, and more details on the filter slot for astro use too. It is hard to find detailed analysis of lens for astro use, and certainly for the Nikon Z range, so I think it would be really valued.

I may rent the above-mentioned lens and try it with my HEQ5 pro to see if it does a good enough job visually before buying, and also try it on the star adventurer just to see if it will work, though I agree that the extra 1kg in the f2.8 may make a difference when travelling. I am still an unbeliever of the FTZ at that range, so we'll see and I will keep you posted in the new year. I am heading out to the Grampians with friends in Jan so I can try it out then.
