Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens

Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S - The basic zoom with the new bayonet

The Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S offers a handy range of focal lengths in a compact package. The Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S is a multi-purpose zoom that gives you wide-angle shots and pots with ease. With an aperture of f/4 covering the entire focal length range, it's a convenient and lightweight alternative to f/2.8 glass. On the optical side, the solutions are almost unprecedented. A unique aspherical extra-low dispersion element, and a single aspherical element keep chromatic aberrations at bay and distortion at bay. Nano crystal coating keeps reflections to a minimum in backlit situations.

The optics are partnered by a fast and quiet autofocus using stepper motor technology, which also produces a sharp image. Full-time manual overdrive suitable for both still and video photography. The focus ring can be programmed to do other things like aperture adjustment or whatever, handy because the focus ring is comparatively useless in today's world of autofocus time. Also, the lens is a buttonless retractable design, so the size is quite compact when retracted.

Combining beautiful shift and surprisingly smooth bokeh, this glass is a kind of reliable workhorse of a journalist. A budget-conscious choice and the first native zoom for this system.
