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

Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm F2.8 S Lens JMA708DA 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.
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 - Brand New review
Our summary is going to be exceptionally short because there is nothing to go on at length about. After all, the results of the tested lens are clear enough. Overall it's nice that professionals who have decided to enter the Nikon Z system finally have a tool every self-respecting system should...
