Yup, I got one from the very first shipment - thanks to the great team at my favorite local camera store (District Camera of Burke).
Haven't had time yet to shoot with it extensively, but so far it looks like a great companion to the 24-70mm f/2.8 S.
Yes, it is big, and yes, it is heavy - I can feel it in my arm after walking with it attached to the Z6 in my hand for more than 30mins....
But I like the internal zooming
It is my first 70-200mm f/2.8, so I can't really compare it with anything similar.
Among the negatives so far - vignetting wide open, cat eye bokeh, and my copy is a bit soft at the extreme sides (left and right) at 200mm wide open - still have to check whether that is due to field curvature, as the focus point was in the center.
