Product Overview

Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm F4 S is a standard zoom lens for Nikon Z-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Nikon in 2018, it has 14 elements in 11 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm F4 S is externally-zooming. For incremental weathers, Nikon is kind enough to include weather sealing. On the lens barrel, one can find a physical aperture ring. Those who wish to focus manually can have the best of both worlds (with the usual caveats).
A standard zoom lens with moderate aperture, the Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm F4 S is more of a "volume seller" than a premium option. Still, some photographers may find the results "good enough".

Reviewer score 92% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from cameralabs have found:
The zoom ring turns through 55 degrees the way Nikon users are used to and has a 28mm wide rubber surface with a good grip. The focus/control ring is only 8mm wide and is located closer to the camera. Mount the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8E VR via the FTZ adapter and you notice a huge difference in noise.
Pros
  • Very fast AF/IS/aperture
  • Very good close-up performance
  • Dust and splash protection
Cons
  • Bulky and heavy
  • No loCA
