Love my Z8 with Z 24-200 and Z 180-600 zooms. Not sure I can afford to,
or want to, replace the 24-200 with the 28-400 just yet.
But at he same time kinda miss my old D800 with its pop-up flash,
'always on' and 'always real' light-balance viewfinder, and the 28-300
(a more useful zoom range IMO, while nicely compact).
I did have a D850 in between which was fantastic (sold to make way for
the Z8), but even then I did miss the handy li'l flash of the D800.
Whether or not to pick up a used D800/28-300 when the price drops
enough, just to have as a backup or option ....
Had recent occasion to set up studio lighting and use my FF. I was
naughty and used a zoom (28-70 f/2.8) however, out of a lack of time and
space.
Enjoyed it immensely. And the photos are great - even for that quickie
setup.
