Full review and test shots of the Nikon Z7 mirrorless camera
Whether you’re shooting stills or video, this workhorse guarantees superior results. Sharpness is excellent throughout the frame, and this lens outperforms any full-frame 24-70mm lens for close-ups. Flare reduction is effective, and the wide Z mount, constant aperture of f/2.8 and rounded 9-blade aperture produce a starburst effect when point light sources are in the frame. Bokeh with soft transitions to the frame looks completely natural.
NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2 lens.The 8 S is reliably sealed and ready for intensive daily professional use. Comfortable torque for zoom and focus rings. And you can change even more shooting settings right on the lens.
Dirk Jasper, product marketing manager for Nikon Europe, notes: “If you can only take one lens with you, choose the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.The 8 S, which is compact but gets the job done professionally. It captures every detail of the scene with stunning accuracy, and with its weather protection it can be taken on any trip.”.
