Q: 6. How does this compare to a DX55-300 4.5/5.6 with FTZ converter used on a Z6II for night soccer?

A: The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens (BH #NI55300GAF) is not a full frame lens, so if you were to use it instead of the Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR Lens on the Z6II you would have a vignetting issue unless you were to crop into the image. The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens does have a less restrictive aperture range as you zoom in, so it would be slightly better in low light situations. However, since most soccer fields tend to be pretty well lit, lighting likely won't be as big of an issue.
