25. It will do more than I need I'm sure. I like the lens selections

and VR for smaller f stops.

It’s weird paying 1,400 or more for a zoom when really fine large format prime lenses for my Linhof 4x5 might cost 500 for nice Schneider.

As I wrote I have a 14-30 and the 24-120 so I’m thinking about the new-ish 100-400 S as a next lens.

So far so good. It’s all very new to me.
