Versatile lens and sharp focus.

Gone are the days of all metal lenses made in Japan. This lens is very plasticky and I don’t like it. It is also an S-Line lens, however, you can’t tell because Nikon ditched the gold ring. I guess 1/100th of an ounce of gold paint would bankrupt them. Otherwise, it is an incredible, reliable, fast focusing workhorse for studio and nice days. I mention this because it is an accordion design and grows/shrinks based on focal length, so I’d be leery of using it in rain or misty conditions. I find it superior in every way to my old F series sister lens. Definitely buy this if 24-70 suits you and ignore the primes in this range unless you must have an F1.8.

Für mich das perfekte “immer drauf” für jede Situation. Genau diesen zweck sollte dieses Objektiv erfüllen. Normalerweise kaufe ich bei Amazon keine Objektive aber hier wurde es sehr zu meiner Freude zu einem unschlagbaren Preis angeboten.
Was ich richtig irre finde ist der schnelle AF. Bislang hatte ich noch kein Objektiv mit so schnellem AF. Die Abbildungsleistung ist natürlich mit der Z6 ein Oberknaller. Ich kann mir gut denken, dass das Objektiv auch an den anderen Z Modellen zeigt was es kann. Ein nicht unbedingt nötiges Gimmik ist die digitale Anzeige am Objektiv. Es erfüllt zwar seinen Zweck aber eine analoge Anzeige wie es sie vorher gab hätte es genauso getan.
In der Bewertung vergebe ich in allen Kategorien 5 Sterne:
Preis & Leistung = 5 Sterne (logisch so preiswert wie hier hätte ich es nirgends bekommen)
Autofokus = 5 Sterne (der AF ist Blitzschnell und dazu sehr leise)
Bildqualität = 5 Sterne (das kann man nicht beschreiben, das muss man selbst erleben)
Gesamtbewertung = 5 Sterne (Versand war schnell, Artikel in OVP tip top neu verpackt)
Selbst die Registrierung für die 5 Jahres Garantie bei Nikon hat wie gewohnt funktioniert. Also auch ein Objektiv welches für den deutschen Markt bestimmt war.
In meinem Rucksack hat das 24 – 70er einen festen Platz bekommen und ich freue mich auf sehr sehr sehr viele tolle Aufnahmen und Momente die ich mit diesem Objektiv erleben werde.

I bought a Nikon Z7 in a bundle that included the 24-70mm f/4.0 lens. I thought this lens was a somewhat expensive upgrade to that bundled lens, but since I was taking a trip that would offer many opportunities for photos, I decided to splurge. Having now finished that trip and downloaded the photos, I am quite impressed with the output of this lens. There were definitely some lower light shots that were made possible by this lens that the f/4.0 could not have captured, as well as some shots where I really shortened the field depth and allowed the background to bokeh beautifully.
While this lens is noticeably heavier than f/4.0 lens in the bundle, that is unavoidable due to marked increase in the optics of the lens. Moreover, compared to other f/2.8 lenses, it is fairly compact at 89x126mm and among the lightest in the category with a weight of 805g. I thought the weight difference between the f/4.0 and the f/2.8 might be a problem by upsetting the balance of the camera, but that never emerged. I initially noted the extra weight compared to the f/4.0, but within minutes, I got used to the camera’s new feel. I never felt out of balance, and enjoyed the experience of shooting with the new lens immediately.
Beyond the actual photographic output of the lens, from a usage standpoint, I was most impressed with the focusing. The lens has two synchronized AF drive units, and it enables the lens to focus very quickly and with impressive accuracy. I found this to be most helpful when shooting video because a moving subject could stay in focus without effort, however even for photos when I was not focusing manually, I noted how quickly it focused. It’s noticeably faster than the f/4.0.
While this lens is certainly an investment, I think its performance justifies its cost. I am happy I bought it. I think for a professional, this f/2.8 is an essential workhorse. However, even if you are an amateur who likes to have top-notch tools, this lens is remarkable, and it’s an incredible upgrade from the f/4.0.

I really struggled with deciding to get this or a Nikon F mount 24-70 (Nikon, Tamron, sigma) but I’m very happy with the lens I got. It’s pricey but it focuses fast, silently, and accurately. Image quality is incredible at every focal length. And it just feels incredible in the hand. Its a bit weighty and chunky but if feels so solid and feels like a lens costing 2.4k. The manual focus and programmable rings feel alright. It doesn’t physically focus the lens like F mount lens and instead uses focus by wire (electronic). But the delay from moving the ring to having the lens change focus is very fast and feels responsive. It feels miles better than what I experienced with some Fuji and Sony lens (although usually cheaper lens on older cameras).
DXOmark also rated this the best 24-70 they ever tested and I gotta say I have no regrets shelling a ton of money for this lens. It’s the nicest lens I’ve ever handled and it feels like it will last me a very long time

About me: I primarily shoot video. When I am doing photography, I am usually shooting product, cityscape, nightscape, or night sky.
I was skeptical of the new Z-mount. When I bought the Z 6, I was hopeful to use autofocus with video. At first, I was content to keep using my F-mount glass through the adapter. Two things changed my mind: 1) the awful noise of F-mount glass when doing video AF 2) I felt that the focus breathing was distracting from the subject.
So, I purchased the Z-mount 24-70mm 2.8 S. After a month of use; I can say that this lens is incredible! The focus is silent and fast for video AF. Additionally, Nikon advertised that they worked on focus breathing for this lens and it performs amazingly.
There is one item that has been a little frustrating, and that is the aperture ring. I frequently use my pinky there to help balance heavier lenses. I find myself changing the aperture accidentally when using this lens. I believe there is a way to turn this off in-camera and that may make this a non-issue for me. I will explore and report back.
The attributes that would cause me to recommend this lens 1) extra stops of VR compared to using and adapted F-Mount lens 2) Silent & Fast video AF 3) Lack of Focus breathing 4) sharpness (it is brilliant, really it is) 5) quality build (ring operation is smooth and a metallic body that looks and feels great!)
I have never owned the 24-70 f4 S. For those debating between the two, I have been told that they are very similar in performance and that the main difference is weight/size and maximum aperture. Most of my shooting is in low light, which is why I opted for the f2.8. If you consider your needs, I don’t think there is a wrong answer between the two.

In my experience, zooms just aren’t as sharp as primes. But this lens is the exception.
I’m a pixel peeper, I love zooming in on Lightroom and seeing detail and precision. Because of that, I’ve always noticed that zooms, no matter how expensive, couldn’t compete with high-end primes. This lens is the exception. The detail, sharpness, color, micro-contrast are on a par with the very best primes. And all in the highly useful range of 24-70! It’s like 5 very high end primes all in one!
I’ve used Canon and Sony too and while they’re great systems, their 24-70 2.8s just can’t compete with this. This is the best 24-70 2.8 in photography today. It’s expensive, but it’s a delight.

I waffled on and off with this lens, buying the Z 50, 35, and an ultra wide-angle zoom before settling on this one lens. This is not as big as I feared initially, it feels only marginally larger and heavier then the 24-120 – a great lens at half the price – Image quality is spectacular, tack sharp of course…that 24-120 is probably the perfect walk around lens for most people – for me the price is worth the little bit of image quality and 2.8 speed I realized.

genialny zoom, używałem wcześniej “lustrzankowego” Nikkora 24-70mm f2.8 – mam więc porównanie. Skok w jakości optycznej jest niesamowity. Nikkor Z 24-70 S nie rozstaje się z moim z6 II 😉

This is a great performing lens. If you have to pick one lens for your Z camera for any social event this should be the one.
