Product Overview
The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm F/2.8 S is the first in Nikon's trinity professional f/2.8 zoom lens lineup for the newly-introduced Z-mount mirrorless interchangeable lens camera system. Thanks for decreased flange distance and enlarged throat diameter, Nikon manages to improve the optical performance of this lens vis-à-vis its F-mount DSLR predecessors while making it smaller (18.4% shorter) and lighter (24.7%).
Nikon has also given the Z 24-70mm F/2.8 S a new, modern design with features such as faster autofocus, an OLED information panel, and a customizable button.

Sentiment Score 87%The Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8E VR is a general-purpose zoom designed for Nikon’s full-frame Z-series mirrorless cameras. It is equipped with a useful OLED display, a dedicated focus ring (in addition to the multi-function ring), and a customizable function button, plus the lens is well-sealed against the elements. The lens shows some zoom creep beyond 50mm focal length.

Sentiment Score 85%The 24-70mm F2.8 S is a fantastic lens that really delivers on the promise of mirrorless. Like the previous AF-S lens, there's still a degree of lateral chromatic aberration, but it's easily corrected for in post-processing with the included profile. It's an excellent lens for everything from landscapes to portraiture, and if you're a Z-mount shooter who can stretch your budget, it definitely deserves a place in your camera bag.

Pros
- Super-handy OLED display
- Excellent sharpness
- Excellent image quality
Cons
- No optical image stabilization
- Lateral chromatic aberration

Sentiment Score 84%The Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S is an absolutely killer zoom. It delivers exceptional sharpness, even when paired with a demanding, high-resolution image sensor. If the lens has an optical flaw it's the vignette. The lens is protected from weather and the fluorine coating makes it easier to keep clean.

- Excellent fluorine coating
- Dust and splash protection
Cons
- Vignette effect is noticeable at f/2.8

Handling and operation are very positive too, with the provision of the control ring and L-Fn button for additional control. Sharpness on the whole is excellent, particularly across the frame, particularly at 70mm.
