Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm F2.8 S Lens - Brand New review
Now that Nikon’s Z range has had a little bit of time to bed in, it’s no surprise to see the company introducing new and exciting new optics to complete the line-up.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S review
This might be the costliest Z-mount lens yet – and by some margin too – but its performance goes a long way to justifying that price tag. Aside from a couple of aberrations that are relatively easy to rectify, there's impressively little to fault. Handling is great, autofocus is beautifully smooth and fast, and detail is exceptional. What a lens!
Pros:
- Reasonably compact
- Smooth, fast and almost silent AF
- Stellar sharpness, even at f/2.8
- Great build and weather sealing
Cons:
- Vignetting at wider apertures
- Barrel and pincushion distortion
- Control ring can't be clicked
- Built-in raw profile doesn't correct vignetting

Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm F2.8 S Lens JMA708DA review
We’d still recommend the Nikkor 24-70mm f/4 lens for enthusiasts and travel photographers purely for its size and affordability, but for professionals and experts the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S is a no-brainer. It’s a top quality professional lens at the leading edge of optical performance.
Pros:
- Exceptional resolution
- Optical performance generally
- Customisable controls
- Data display panel
Cons:
- Doesn’t focus as close as the f/4 lens
- Expensive (obviously)
- Size and weight
