This lens can be used professionally as well as recreationally. The kit lens, in my opinion, is a starter lens in the Z-series. If you want pictures with any decent bokeh (blur effect) you have to get something with an aperture of at least 2.8 or lower. Rather than getting the 24-70mm f/4 for an additional $600 (kit price), I used that money towards the lens with better aperture.IRA B : Best Z lens so farJOSEPH B : Just purchased a new Nikon Z6.MCKINLEY W : I just brought the Nikon Z7JOSEPH F : Building a z kit.Junle Q : Need to upgrade my mid-range zoom lens from 24-85mm F to 24-70mm f/2.8 S.

And this will be a great lens when eye focus comes out for portrait shoots!ALAN Y : Filling out my z lens collectionCARLTON M : Wanted native glass for my Z7.

Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 Purchase

This is a great lens! Just started using it for events and I'm very happy so far. A little heavier than the stock 24-70 mm but makes up with wider aperture settings. Looking forward to trying it out with portraiture and landscape work.

Excellent lens and a great addition to my Z8 and Z6ii cameras

This is a "beast" of a lens. The build quality it top notch and the quality of the photos are even better. While it is a bit heavy, it is certainly worth the extra carrying weight for the resulting photos. The zoom is smooth and the autofocus is quick and the images are sharp. It is one of those cases where you get what you pay for. Recommended.

A great lens - will be a workhorse

A great lens - will be a workhorse. I am so happy that I save up and sold some equipment to obtain this lens. It is all that I could ask for. The build quality is top notch. It is a beast. While it is a bit heavy, it balances perfectly with the Z8. I am just getting started using the lens, but I envision that it will be on my camera most of time execpt when I need a longer lens, but then I'll put it on my second camera. It certainly makes a difference getting a professional lens with the build quality and image quality. If you can afford it, I recommend it.

Fantastic general photography and portrait lens.

Replaces primes from 24-70 without a loss of quality. If your uses are general photography and portraits and you only buy one lens, this would be a great choice. If it's too heavy and big, try the 24-70mm f/4.

First Lens for My Z9 (Purchased Near New)

Chose this lens and it's the first for my new Z9. Actually purchased it as a nearly new and saved a few hundred dollars. As for the quality ... it's a rock star lens and has not disappointed me at all having a super sharp performance.

Nikorl 24-79 mm 2.8 S Z lens

Great lens but Nikon needs to make a 2x converter to work with this lens it would allow Nikon users to buy a longer zoom and skip the medium length. Of course they are trying to sell lenses I guess. LOL

The gold standard

This lens is now the gold standard of zoom lenses within this range. Yes, it's larger than the kit 24-70, but the payoff is huge unless you are counting ounces for a backpacking trip. For that "epic capture", no need to look at anything else. Too bad Nikon stopped using the gold rings at the rim, because that's the only thing this lacks.

Z 24-200 2.8 review

Nikon user for over 45 years. I decided to plunge into a zoom lens, and glad I did. I've had it 4 months now, taken about 800 pictures. Hard to describe the sharpness and detail this lens provides. It's fast, quiet, and super sharp into the corners. I've taken it on a couple short trips, and really pleased with results.

Nikon sent me a broken lens

I was very disappointed to learn that my factory refurbished lens was broken. I didn?t realize it until we?ll after the 14 day return window, so now I have to pay to fix a lens that I received broken. My advice to everyone: don?t buy refurbished lenses, and always scrutinize you internal lens as much as possible immediately after receiving a lens. I learned the hard way.

Only Lens You Will Ever Need

By SANDEEP Y.

Phenomenal Lens !! I own both 50mm 1.8S Prime lens and this 24-70/2.8 lens to shoot travel and family pics. Because of the superior optical performance and mind-blowing color rendition, I end up using this zoom lens almost all the time. Its a no brainer. All YouTubers brainwashed me to get SONY camera, which is good but no fun at all. I am glad I switched back to NIKON and am enjoying ever since !!!

The best ever!

By RickT1

My 24-70 2.8 S for the Z7 arrived Thursday at my local store YM Camera in Youngstown Ohio. Nikon hit it out of the park with this one. The focus is unbelievably fast and the images are tack sharp throughout the the zoom range. At F2.8 indoors low light the corners and edges perfect. Outdoors it preforms perfectly. Definitely one of the best lenses I have ever used. I only regret that it wasn’t available sooner. If anyone is considering this lens don’t be afraid to pull the trigger. It is well...

Superior Color and Sharpness



Impressive aberration correction—virtually zero flare, ghosting, coma or chromatic, spherical and axial aberration, even at the far edges of the frame. Plus dirt, dust and water-repelling safeguards.

Superior Color and Sharpness
doggy

Bright. Fast. Stunning.



With an f/2.8 constant maximum aperture, exposure is consistent across the entire zoom range. Wide open, subjects pop from beautifully blurred backgrounds. The speed and brightness of the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S enables sharper images handheld at fast shutter speeds—a necessity for capturing portraits.

Bright. Fast. Stunning.

The dazzling depth of an f/2.8



The benefits also extend to video, where bokeh can be used as a storytelling aid to draw out subjects in a way that other lenses simply can't.
