🥈 Nikon Z 24 70Mm F2 8 S Review

The Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm f/2.8 Zoom Lens is extremely sharp and has a fixed f/2.8 aperture, but performance comes at a price. Read Our Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Review More Less than half the price of Nikon’s top-flight Z 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, this one is much more compact and lightweight. As well as having a retractable design for compact stowage, the glass elements towards the front of the lens naturally have a smaller diameter, the trade-off being that the f/4 aperture rating transmits less light and doesn’t allow for such a tight depth of field. Nikon now has a slew of zoom lenses corrected for full-frame Z-mount cameras covering the standard 24-70mm range or more: Besides the Z 24-70mm f2.8 S and f4 S plus Z 28-75mm f2.8, there’s the Z 24-200mm f4-6.3 VR, and now the Nikon Z 24-120mm f4 S. I happen to also have the very fine 24-70mm/f4 S kit lens. That is the one I use for landscape and travel, mainly because it is much lighter. Here is another example for comparison: an F-mount 24-70mm/f2.8 E AF-S VR on a Nikon D750, also at 24mm, f2.8. It is 6pm now so that the lighting is different. You can see the moon at the bottom of the frame. The $1,000 Nikkor Z 24-70mm F4 S is decidedly compact, and while you can't make the same claim about the pro-grade Nikkor Z 24-70mm F2.8 S ($2,300), you don't expect pro glass to be tiny. The Z 24-70mm f/4 is a great lens for what it is, but it's no match for the f/2.8 version and likely neither for a macro at short focus distances. Going for the Z 85mm f/1.8 over the zoom will surely yield sharper images, but in order to shoot at very short distances, a macro will probably be even better. Product description. The Nikkor Z 24-70mm F4 S is a full-frame lens designed for Nikon's Z-series mirrorless system. The 24-70 features a retractable design, one aspherical ED and three aspherical elements, Nano Crystal and fluorine coatings and electromagnetic aperture control. A customizable ring can be used for focus, aperture, and exposure The f/2.8 lens also gains a customisable Lens Function button and a multi-mode info display, similar to that of the Z 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. Image quality is stunning in all respects. Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S full review. How we test lenses. We test lenses using both real world sample images and lab tests. .
