NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S Mirrorless Camera Lens JMA708DA

Over the years the cost of the fast aperture zooms has increased. These generally cover the range 24-70 and 70-200 as the most sort after F2.8 lenses. The Z mount is new and as such expect to pay a premium for glass that will last years as you develop your skills and change your Z mount body. You do get what you pay for with this lens, the quality is simply superb, it is super sharp across the range, and even wide at 24mm. The additional control rings and single function button can all be customised in the camera, further enhancing the usability of the lens. The screen is useful as a quick reference, it also provides accurate focal length display which can be useful for exact shots. It is supplied with a locking, felt lined hood, along with a soft storage cloth bag. Both the hood and lens are Made in Japan, and I would suggest you protect the front element with the best filter you can buy, you can find the Nikon ones for a reasonable cost on Amazon, or look at the Hoya range. Not a lot else to say, its another Nikon classic lens, with superb optical quality, but you do pay a premium.

Not going to write a review. If you are looking for new Z lens for your Nikon z body then no questions, this is amazing. So much better than the non z and no more having to use ftz adaptor. Fast and pin sharp and resulting prints are night and day I use this and 35mm, gone are those days of using ftz adaptor. Some.mention weight but it's lighter than using previous combo but yet it does have some weight to it which normally a sign of high quality. Only downside is the price

I've been shooting with this lens for a few days now and it's hands down the finest standard zoom I've ever used. If, like I was, you're wondering whether the 24-70/2.8 S 'pro' zoom is worth the extra cost, bulk and weight over the 24-70/4 S 'kit' zoom, the answer in my opinion - unless you absolutely must have the smallest, lightest lens possible - is unquestionably yes. It's tack sharp throughout its aperture and focal length range in a way that the f/4 zoom just cannot match. It's significantly sharper wide open (particularly at the wide end) than the f4 zoom at f/8. Contrast, colour and depth rendition are all equally impressive. Adding to the lens' versatility is a very useful close range focussing capability and a simply gorgeous wide open rendering with some of the smoothest transitions I've ever seen in a zoom lens. I get the impression Nikon is making a statement of intent with this lens. They have my attention. This is simply an outstanding world class lens of exceptional quality. Highly recommended.

This is such an amazing lens. So versatile and amazing picture quality. At a recent wedding I shot this was used for 90% of the pictures. I can't fault it. Amazon were also £200 cheaper than any other price I could find. ( I mean amazon and not 3rd party sellers selling grey imports)

Prompt delivery of Lens - excellent value for money

Could only get kit D7ii & f4 version of this lens when I purchased, out of stock everywhere. Kept my D810 as unsure of kit lens but results were super and finally decided to sell D810 & lenses to purchase this Z24-70mm f/2.8 - no regrets ! Fantastic lens, not taken many shots yet as weather awful but the ones I have taken are excellent .

This is the sharpest 24-70mm zoom lens I have used. It beats its f4 brother. Contrast and colour rendition are excellent and chromatic aberration is negligable. If anybody is thinking of buying this lens, don't think anymore, go ahead and buy one.

What a great lens from Nikon. Compared to similar f mount lens this is a significant improvement on weight and size. Sharpness excels at short and long ranges. Will have this in my bag for many years to come.

Excellent image quality throughout the range. Very silent operation, so very good for video as well

Estoy totalmente satisfecho con el objetivo, ya me esperaba una gran calidad pero ha superado todas mis expectativas. Una nitidez apabullante, una gran rapidez de enfoque, un detalle increíble y en retratos he quedado maravillado con el bonito bokeh. No me ha gustado que sea totalmente negro, me gustaría que al ser un objetivo “prime” de altísima calidad tuviera algún detalle en dorado como los objetivos de las DSLR que lo diferenciase por ejemplo del 24-70mm f/4

Première journée d'essais, sur un Z6. Mes références sont le 24-70 f 2,8 Tamron G2 qui est déjà excellent et des objectifs fixes Tamron 85 mm et 45 mm considérés comme de très haut niveau. Le NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S est vraiment excellent, meilleur que le zoom Tamron G2 ; surtout il est plus homogène à toutes les focales, avec une très faible perte de netteté sur les bords à pleine ouverture. Je peux enfin prendre des photos sans avoir à me soucier des faiblesses de l'objectif. Je n'ai pas testé le flare, ni le coma (les essais internet sont favorables). A la même ouverture f 2,8 : Il n'est pas tout à fait au niveau des focales fixes précitées, mais en plus elles ouvrent à f 1,8. Je le trouve assez compact pour un zoom f 2,8. Le rendu (contraste couleurs...) me semble aussi remarquables. Bref c'est cher, mais c'est totalement parfait ! (ce que n'étaient pas les zooms 24 - 70 f 2,8 antérieurs de Nikon). Mais si l'on est raisonnable : on peut vraiment faire de très belles photos avec le zoom Tamron (il a, à la pleine ouverture et par rapport au Nikon environ 10% de définition en moins au centre et 25 % sur les bords extrêmes. Mais il faut reconnaître qu'il est assez rare que le sujet photographique exige une parfaite netteté sur les bords à f 2,8 !) A mon avis l'objectif Nikon S doit mieux se justifier avec le Z7 (que je n'ai pas). D'autant plus que la bonne tenue du Nikon S à 70mm permettra en 45 millions de pixels de faire un recadrage important et de disposer en pratique d'un équivalent 24 - 100 même pour des photos tirables à plus de 40 cm.

Excelente lente.

genialny zoom, używałem wcześniej "lustrzankowego" Nikkora 24-70mm f2.8 - mam więc porównanie. Skok w jakości optycznej jest niesamowity. Nikkor Z 24-70 S nie rozstaje się z moim z6 II ;)
