NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8

Compact versatility meets affordability!Coming from the 70-200 E FL on my D850, it is a little soft @2.8, especially at 70mm & closer focusing distances. Stop down to F4 & it’s SHARP! 100mm onwards 2.8 is also sharp. The autofocus motor can be slow if WAY out, but if you’re even remotely close it’s FAST! It’s a keeper & the size & weight is literally half of the adapted lens. Win win.

Less weight and super telephoto Lens.I can get nice quality pics. And it's perfect for birds and events photography.I really like this lens..

Super sharp and fast lens. Excellent for all kinds of photography. I used it for portrait, closeup, landscape, and event with ease and excellent results. I left it on my Z7ii, and mounted Z24-120mm/f4 on Z8 to cover all events photos. Super happy with both lenses. Saved money and space. Light weight for carrying around.

Wow, I'm impressed. I needed a midrange telephoto so I compared the Z 70-180mm f/2.8 with the Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S at a lacrosse match in the sleet. I alternated using the lenses on my Z8. My end result was I could see no differences in the quality of the photos between the 2 lenses. I actually found myself using the 70-180 more due to its lightweight and ease of use. And using my Z8 matrix metering with face detection enabled, I found the AF capability to be superb. I was so impressed, I bought the 70-180 yesterday. And I went to the local bike park to try it out. I've attached pics from both events. Nice job Nikon!

This lens was a great compliment to my existing lenses. The lens felt solid, images were sharp and focusing was a breeze. For the price the speed and image quality is outstanding.

I was one of the first to get one of these in the US and just ran it through its paces shooting motorcycle races over a long weekend. I have to say I'm very pleased with the lens build and image quality. The focus speed seems to be very close to some of the faster Nikon lenses out there. Given the price, weight, size, and image quality this is a no brainer for me. Very pleased with this purchase!

I have just brought this lens, mainly for architecture and l have find the quality of the photographs really good with the details of the buildings being very clear. Great value and a really nice lens
