Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S

68.4 Budget Score
24-70mmf/22Nikon FWeather Sealed
Why we recommend this

The constant f/2.8 aperture and internal zoom mechanism, a first for its class, maintain the lens's center of gravity for stable gimbal use while its Nano Crystal Coat and ED elements suppress flare and ghosting. Its optical formula delivers sharpness and pleasing bokeh in a weather-sealed, 900g body that is smaller and lighter than typical 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses. This lens is best for landscape photographers and video shooters who need a durable, stabilized workhorse zoom with silent, fast autofocus.

Why we recommend this ▼

Its f/1.4 aperture and two aspherical elements deliver sharp subject isolation with a distinct, smooth bokeh inspired by the legendary Noct NIKKOR. At just 385g, this lens combines a fast Silent Wave Motor with Nano Crystal Coatings for flare-resistant, high-contrast rendering in a portable build. It is best for portrait photographers who prioritize three-dimensional rendering and character over clinical sharpness.
