Our take on the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f2.8 S II Lens

The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f2.8 S II is Nikon's second-generation fast standard zoom for Z-mount mirrorless bodies. It covers the 24-70mm range at a constant f/2.8, the workhorse focal length for events, portraits and travel, and it is the lens most Z shooters pair with a full-frame body first. Against the original 24-70mm f/2.8 S it is lighter and focuses faster, and it holds its own against the rival fast standard zooms from Canon, Sony and Sigma on sharpness and weather sealing. It suits photographers who want one lens that does most jobs well rather than a bag of primes.

Pros
  • Constant f/2.8 across the whole 24-70mm range
  • Sharp wide open, with strong corner performance stopped down
  • Fast, quiet stepping-motor autofocus that tracks well
  • Lighter than the first-generation f/2.8 S
  • Weather-sealed barrel with a fluorine-coated front element
  • Useful control ring and OLED info display
Cons
  • Large and heavy next to f/4 or prime alternatives

  • Expensive for a standard zoom
  • Focus breathing makes it less ideal for video

Questions and answers

Is it worth upgrading from the first 24-70mm f/2.8 S?
If you want a lighter lens and faster focusing, yes. If you are happy with the original's image quality, the gain is mostly in handling rather than sharpness.
How does it compare with the 24-70mm f/4 S?
The f/2.8 version gathers twice the light, blurs backgrounds more and is sharper wide open, but it is bigger, heavier and costs much more. The f/4 is the better travel lens.
Does it have image stabilization?
No. It relies on the camera's in-body stabilization, which works well on full-frame Z bodies.
Is it good for video?
It focuses quietly and smoothly, but it shows focus breathing, so it is not the best choice for serious video work.
What mount does it use?
Nikon Z mount. It fits full-frame Z bodies and also works on APS-C Z bodies, where it covers a 36-105mm equivalent range.
Is it weather sealed?
Yes. The barrel is sealed against dust and moisture and the front element has a fluorine coating.
Where is the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f2.8 S II Lens cheapest?
At Newegg, for $2,299.95, as of our latest check.
