Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S Lens

As the first zoom lens available for Z Mount, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f4 S features excellent weather sealing in a compact package. The MSRP of US$996.95 is arguably high for an f4 zoom, but despite its slow maximum aperture, the lens performed reliably in general although it was hampered at...

The Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S is a sharp, compact zoom for the Z camera system that's an especially good value when purchased as part of a bundle.

As a kit lens, the 24-70mm f/4 S provides enough versatility to satisfy most purchasers of Nikon’s Z-mount cameras, ranging from wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives. Its constant f/4 maximum aperture and electromagnetic aperture mechanism provide stable focus and exposure control and...

On paper, the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 looks unambitious, but its small size, light weight and great optical performance make it an exceptional companion for the Nikon Z7. On paper, the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 looks unambitious, but its small size, light weight and great optical performance make it an...

  Steep price point

Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.

For a kit lens this produces some fantastic images. Very happy with the image quality and is a great travel/every day lens. Even seeing side by side comparisons with the f/2.8 version shows how the glass quality on this is great for the price point, especially if picked up with the camera.

I purchased this lens to use with my Z6 and did not know what to expect out of the new format and I was extremely happy with the results. I shoot a lot of wildlife, landscapes, and sports and so far, this lens has excelled in all three areas.

As others have been saying - 'butter smooth' operation and focus shift. I plan on spending a lot of time with this lens - too sweet to change. Happily awaiting a Z Mount 28-300, though!

I purchased the Z7 kit last year, and have been very happy with the24-70 f4 lens and the results from it. It's nice and compact, and I like the feature which causes it to lock. I've used it in extremely low light situations, where flash use was impossible, and on the beaches of the west side of the...

This lens is amazing, very sharp pictures, quick focusing, lightweight and very well made. Even at the 70mm zoom, the lens can focus down to almost macro quality. Hoping that Nikon will soon deliver a longer range lens, like a 70 to 300 or even a 28 to 300.

This lens performs great in all the situations I have encountered. Quality, sharpness and picture have blown me away. Can't wait for the Z Series70-300 lens to hit the market, tired of carrying the FTZ ring to use with my telephoto. Simple will be much easier!!

Love this compact well built lens. This lens blows the 2.8 G 24-70 out of the water. I own the Z6 and Z7 and this lens is phenomenal on both. I honestly don’t see myself ever needing the 2.8 version of this lens.

Lens is compact and sharp and crystal clear. Great companion for Z 7 and easily handles the high resolution.

This camera is amazing. Its Fast, Sharp, and when in the hands of a professional it is Unparalleled.
