Posted on by

DPReview published the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S Lens review and test results(tested on the Nikon Z7): the new Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S Lens achieves an excellent 87% overall score and Silver Award from the experts at DPReview.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S Lens Key Features:

  • Z-Mount Lens/FX Format
  • Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/22
  • Two ED and Four Aspherical Elements
  • ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coatings
  • Multi-Focus Stepping Motor AF System
  • Programmable Control Ring
  • Information OLED Panel and L.Fn Button
  • Weather-Sealed Design, Fluorine Coating
  • Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm

Conclusion from DPReview:

The Nikon Z 24-70mm F2.8 S is an all-rounder fast zoom for Nikon’s mirrorless system. With a versatile focal length range and a fast aperture for low light photography and blurry backgrounds, this lens provides sharp imagery with smooth bokeh and without distracting color fringing from chromatic aberrations. Autofocus isn’t as speedy as its peers, and slightly defocused subjects can be a bit busy, but the overall performance can’t be argued with.

Good for

Landscape, portrait, wedding, low light, travel photographers

Not so good for

Videographers looking for linear focus response, or action and candid photographers looking for the fastest autofocus performance
