Performance Compared Recommendations This 24-70/2.8 was Nikon's best and most expensive midrange zoom until the 24-70/2.8 VR came out in 2015. This lens is a superb performer today and weighs and costs less than the newer VR version, lacking only VR (vibration reduction ). The Nikon Z 28-75mm F2.8 offers a variable minimum focusing distance of 0.19m (0.63ft) at 28mm, 0.22m (0.73ft) at 35mm, 0.3m (0.99ft) at 50mm and 0.39m (1.28ft) at 75mm, with a maximum magnification of 0.34x. This enables you to capture some fairly good close-up shots when shooting at the 75mm focal length.
From left to right: the earliest 18-55mm, the 18-70mm for this review, the 18-105mm, and the 18-135mm. The 18-70mm focal range gives you angle of views from ~19 to 66 degrees (horizontal) on a DSLR; it's effectively the same as using an 28-105mm lens on a 35mm body. For some users, that's a stay-on-camera range.
The Nikon Z 24-70mm F2.8 S is an all-rounder fast zoom for Nikon's mirrorless system. With a versatile focal length range and a fast aperture for low light photography and blurry backgrounds, this lens provides sharp imagery with smooth bokeh and without distracting color fringing from chromatic aberrations.
That’s where the Nikkor Z 24-120mm f/4 S lens comes in, offering a good compromise between a broad focal length, a fixed aperture, the promise of superior image quality and a reasonably travel-friendly size and weight. At £1199, it doesn’t cost too much more than the 24-70mm f/4, and about half what you’d pay for the 24-70mm f/2.8.
