Best budget lens for the nikon z6 ii?

For a budget lens on the Nikon Z6 II, I'd start with the cheaper third-party primes in the catalogue. They're sharp, they're small, and they cost far less than Nikon's own glass.

• Viltrox AF 50mm f/2 Air is a light, sensible standard lens for people and everyday shooting.
• Meike 50mm f/1.8 STM is the classic cheap fast prime, the one I'd tell any first-time buyer to get.
• 7Artisans AF 35mm f/1.8 gives you a wider view for street and travel.

If you want more reach for a portrait lens, the Viltrox AF 85mm f/2 EVO is worth a look. My advice follows the first camera budget guide: spend about as much on your lens as on the body.
