The 50mm f/1.8 S is one of the sharpest "normal" focal range primes Nikon has ever produced. The 50mm f/2.8 MC's optical design is relatively simple: 10 elements in 7 groups, with one each aspherical and ED elements. The front element is fluorine coated, but only Nikon's regular coatings are used to combat flare (e.g. no ARNEO or Nano coating). The Z 24-120mm f/4 S has the highest levels of lateral CA around 24mm and 35mm. It dips as you zoom to about 70mm, then increases a bit at the long end of the zoom range. NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 80mm, ISO 64, 1/30, f/8.0. At the absolute highest, the lateral CA on the Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S measures 1.76 pixels in our tests. The Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S is a professional standard zoom lens for the Nikon Z7 and Z6 full frame mirrorless cameras. One stop faster than the already excellent 24-70mm F4 kit lens, does the new Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S version offer enough extra features and performance to justify its rather eye-watering price-tag? No, the 24-120mm f/4 S isn't the best performer at 120mm—the telephoto end is its weaker end—but it's also f/4 throughout its range, which is useful in keeping ISO down at times on the 45mp cameras (most of the examples shown in this review were at ISO 1600 or 3200 on a Z9). On DX cameras the liability of the 24-120mm f/4 S is obvious: no VR. The decency level we set at 42–44 lpmm. Of course, while adding more Z system tests, we might need to correct these values a bit. Let's see how the Nikkor Z 24–70 mm f/2.8 S compares; its results, reached in the frame centre and at 24, 45, and 70 mm, presents a graph shown below. The Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S is a professional-grade ultra-wide-angle lens designed for landscape, architecture, and environmental portrait photography. Sporting an advanced optical formula comprised of 14 elements and Nikon's top-of-the-line coatings, the NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S yields sharp, high-quality images on Nikon's Z-mount mirrorless cameras. I own and use the Legacy 24-70 f/2.8 (several years) and the new S 24-70 f/2.8. My copy arrived in early May after waiting only a short while for the pre-order to be filled. Unlike my 500mm f/5.6 which is still on back-order since Aug of last year - sigh! When Nikon released the first f mount 24-70 f/2.8 it was quickly lauded as one of the holy grail of lenses photographers should own. To this The Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S is a well-designed lens, with the absolute minimum of fuss applied to it. Andy has run several brands during his career, including Top Ten Reviews The 28-75mm focal length range is a little less wide-angle and a little more telephoto than Nikon's top-of-the-line Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S, but is just as fast with a matching f/2.8 aperture, yet costs roughly half as much, with a launch price of $1,200 / £1,099 / AU$1,599.95 – compared to a typical price tag of $2,299 / £1,999 / AU$3,699.95 for the older lens. The 25cm minimum focus distance enables striking wideangle close-ups. Nikon Z 7II, Nikkor Z 24mm F1.8 S, 1/640sec at f/3.5, ISO 64. It’s easy to achieve extensive depth of field with a 24mm lens. On the Z7 II, the hyperlocal distance at f/11 is 1.72m and at that point, the depth for field extends from 0.92m to infinity. iN1sTev.
