Is the nikon z 17 28mm f 2 8 worth it?

Yes, if you shoot on full frame and want one wide zoom that covers architecture, landscapes, and environmental portraits without swapping lenses. The f/2.8 aperture is useful in dim rooms, and it's autofocus. It isn't stabilised, though, so keep your shutter speed up in low light. It fits a full range of Nikon Z bodies, from the Nikon Z6 II to the Nikon Z8.

On an APS-C body like the Nikon Z50 II, it frames like roughly 26-42mm, which is a sensible everyday range, but a lot of that wide-angle reach is lost. If you mainly shoot travel or street, I'd look at a small prime instead, and check whether full frame is worth it for your work at all.
