Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S Optical Zoom Lens for Nikon Z6 20089

Comment:

I am a professional photographer with thirty years of shooting, and I have never appreciated a 24-70mm zoom as much as I do this one. I’ve probably had ten over my career, but this is hands down the sharpest I’ve ever used. I’ll admit that I was hoping that it would be a bit smaller and lighter, making a better match with the Z bodies, but I got over it very quickly once I started using it. FYI, I had tried the f/4 version earlier, and I find this lens worth the extra money. If you can afford it, get it — it’s wonderful!

I recently switched to a Z7 from a D850 and bought this lens. I’ve read the reviews and seen some of the pictures that people have taken with this lens, but when they are your own photos… it’s a completely different thing.Lens is fast and quiet. I had the same kind of lens for the D850 and I had both side by side and the sound levels were completely different. Love how much more compact this lens is compared to the F mount version also. I still have the 70-200 F mount, but if the soon to be released 70-200 Z mount is anything like this, I’m buying!

I got this for my wife and it’s her first Z mount lens for her Z7 and she absolutely loves it. It’s super fast and responsive.

Over the years I’ve purchased several 24-70mm 2.8 lenses. This S version is the sharpest corner to corner.

It’s big and heavy but focuses fast and very sharp even at widest aperture

So light, easy to carry lens. Works well and image quality is great!

The Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 S is my first full frame lens.
The cost, size and weight made me doubt my decision to upgrade from my D5300.

I was also questioning purchase of this lens over the 24-70mm f/4 because of reports of how good that lens was and savings over the f/2.8 (especially when bought with body).

But after shooting with this lens, I don’t regret choosing it over the f/4. I typically find myself in low light situations and wanting to utilize natural light as much as possible. Having the f/2.8 at my disposal, allows me a better chance to do this with the additional benefit of shallower depth of field.

Excellent lens. Highly recommended if you do any serious photography.

Do not buy this product from this vendor. Instead, go to a reputable online photography store like B&H to purchase this lens.I bought a new mirrorless Nikon from Amazon as a Christmas gift for my husband. This was the lens meant to go with it. On our first trip with the camera, the lens worked for about 10 photos and then failed. A day later, the same thing happened. My husband reinstalled all the associated software and again, a few photos and then simply a persistent whirring sound and no photos.When we returned home, he went to the Amazon site. They said they could not replace the lens. Fine, he followed the instructions to return the lens for a refund. We just received notice that the refund processed…at a cost of nearly $250 to us. He’ll be buying a replacement lens from a reputable vendor, not through Amazon.
