NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S overview
The Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S is a 24–70mm f/2.8 zoom for full-frame cameras on Nikon Z, announced by Nikon in February 2019. 16 cameras we track take it without an adapter. It has been followed by the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II; both are still sold.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits as well as landscapes and interiors.
New, it sells for £1,999 to £2,099 at the 2 stores we track in the United Kingdom that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at £1,100.
Worth comparing it with the Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8, Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 and Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3.
