The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S offers a versatile zoom range from wide-angle to portrait-length, ideal for a variety of photography styles. It boasts a consistent f/4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range, ensuring steady exposure and a lighter build compared to f/2.8 lenses. Advanced optics are used to minimize aberrations, with a specialized aspherical extra-low dispersion element and three aspherical elements for enhanced sharpness and clarity. The inclusion of both Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings reduces lens flare and ghosting, leading to improved contrast and color fidelity in bright or backlit scenes. Its stepping motor facilitates fast, silent autofocus with manual override, lending itself to both photo and video use. The lens features a programmable control ring for easy adjustments and sports a button-less retractable design for compact storage.
