Nikon Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S: What a Built-In Teleconverter Zoom Means for Event Photographers
Nikon announced the NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S today. It is the first constant f/2.8 telephoto zoom with a teleconverter built in, so one switch turns it into a 168-420mm f/4. It weighs about 6 lb, roughly 515 g lighter than the F-mount version it replaces, with Nikon's suggested price at 13,999.95 USD and availability expected in mid-November.
We shoot events on the Z9 and Z8, so we looked at what this lens means for keynotes from the back of big halls, dim stage lighting and outdoor festivals, plus whether it makes more sense to buy, rent or skip it.

Would you rent a lens like this for an arena event, or stick with a 70-200mm and move closer?
