The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S is Nikon's standard zoom for its full-frame Z-mount mirrorless cameras, covering wide-angle through short telephoto. A constant f/4 aperture keeps exposure even across the zoom and lets the lens stay far smaller and lighter than an f/2.8 zoom. One aspherical extra-low dispersion element and three aspherical elements control chromatic and spherical aberration, while Nano Crystal and Super Integrated coatings fight flare. A stepping motor drives fast, quiet autofocus, and the barrel is weather-sealed with a fluorine coating on the front element. It is the natural first lens for Z shooters who want a compact walkaround zoom; the trade-off against the f/2.8 S is one stop of light and shallower background blur.

Owners rate it as one of the sharpest and most practical standard zooms for the Z system, praising its size, edge-to-edge sharpness and quiet autofocus. The main complaints are the f/4 maximum aperture and the retractable barrel that has to be unlocked before use.
The Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S is a standard zoom lens for FX-format Z-mount mirrorless cameras. It covers focal lengths from wide-angle to portrait-length. The constant f/4 maximum aperture keeps exposure consistent across the zoom range and allows a more compact, lighter build than an f/2.8 zoom.
The optical design uses one aspherical extra-low dispersion element and three aspherical elements. These reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations, distortion, coma and flare. Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings reduce surface and internal reflections, which limits flare and ghosting. Exposed elements have a fluorine coating that protects against dust, grease and water droplets.
A stepping motor provides smooth, quiet and fast autofocus for stills and video, with full-time manual focus override. Internal focusing moves only the inner lens groups, so the lens keeps its length during focusing. The programmable control ring is set to manual focus by default. It can also control aperture or exposure compensation. The barrel is dust- and moisture-resistant and retracts, without a button, to a compact size when not in use.
