NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S

First, I want to say I do not consider myself a professional. I have shot only two weddings and love to shoot for fun. However, I have been playing around with digital photography since its inception. For me Digital Photography only became practical since sensors hit the 20 mega pixel mark. The lenses could not keep up with the sensors. Nikon has reached.a pinnacle in lens design vs. affordability with the Z Series. While this lens is still 1.8-2k which most people will not consider affordable, there is a huge caveat. It quite simply is the first lens that I can honestly say fits the moniker, if I only had one lens this would be it.

You do not sacrifice detail and quality with this Zoom lens, it is sharp from edge to edge. The 24-70mm focal range fits the vast majority of needs and when you couple that with Prime quality, it leaves little need for faster primes.

I am very happy with this lens, VERY happy.

Utterly reliable in creating appealing, razor-sharp results in a variety of lighting. Elegant, simple design allows efficient usage.

Great Lens excellent results at all settings.
Low Light and Hand Held this lens works great.

Outstanding lens, I´ve been shooting with the Nikon lens for over 15 years. I shoot a lot of weddings and people. I normally like to shoot with a prime lens. They are sharper and have a wider aperture in most cases. However, The 24-70mm F2.8 S is like not like the rest of the medium zoom lens. This lens is tack sharp build well and optically better than any other 24-70mm by Nikon. The images I´ve produced with this lens are excellent. Shooting with this lens is like using a prime. I´m looking forward to seeing the 70-200mm Z mount lens. The only thing I could say negative about this lens would be the prices, you are going to drop a few $$$$$$ for this lens

The lens is great, love it. Though I wish the EyeAF would have a longer range then what it has today, but once it grabs on it´s always accurate.

Heft outweighs its technical prowess. I thought I was buying lenses that would be perfect for everyday use; that´s why I was willing to pay more for the lense than for the camera itself. That is the fundamental problem with this camera: it was designed to pack technical super powers into a small light body. The problem is that in order to get the technical super powers you need to use hefty cumbersome lenses. The end result is that you have a big clunky camera just like the old school DSLRs.

Best Nikkor lens I´ve owned. Fast and tack sharp. That along with my z6 is my go to equipment now.

This lens is awesome except for one complaint. There is a lot of flaring when shooting into the sun. Doesn´t seem to affect the 14-30 nearly as much. Otherwise, this is a great lens

Picked the 2.8 of the 4
Compared Z6 Z24-70 f2.8 to D810 F mount 24-70 f 2.8 VR Z system noticeably sharper and faster at same setting. Will put the F mount on the FTZ and compare. So far the Z 24-70 f 2.8 is just the best zoom I have ever used and equal to many primes!
