NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S Lens for Z Series Mirrorless Cameras
The NIKKORZ 24-70mm f/4 S is a versatile zoom lens that offers a wide range of useful perspectives for Nikon's Z Series mirrorless cameras. It covers everything from a wide focal length of 24mm, for capturing spectacular landscapes and fun group shots, to a medium telephoto focal range of 70mm for portraits and shooting subjects from a distance. The fixed maximum aperture of f/4 enables a brighter, more consistent exposure all throughout the zoom range and allows the lens to have a more compact and lightweight body. The fast, silent, and precise AF performance, as well as the full-time manual focus override, allow for more creative control and extremely sharp results. Meanwhile, to ensure professional imaging, it features an aspherical extra-low dispersion lens element and three aspherical elements for significantly reduced aberrations and distortions throughout the full zoom range, resulting in exceptional sharpness and clarity. Lens surfaces also feature Nano Crystal and Super Integrated coatings to suppress flare and ghosting for higher contrast images and greater color fidelity. Like all other NIKKOR Z lenses, the 24-70mm f/4 S has a programmable control ring on the lens body for more intuitive control over various camera andexposure settings.

ALC Hands-On Review with Tamara Lackey: Testing theNew Nikon Mirrorless Camera System
I was lucky enough to spend a full week shooting nearly non-stop with the new Nikon mirrorless system. I may have stopped for sleep a bit but, otherwise, I was able to shoot in multiple regions throughout the Yucatan Peninsula and then flew a few hours up north, with our crew, to Guanajuato, Mexico. And then I shot a whole lot more. I was able to put the new system through the paces - shooting in large, rainforest-like sinkholes, in pitch-dark caves, at pink lagoons, above colorful landscapes, and in and above the streets of a large, sprawling city.

My first impression of the new system is pretty straightforward: It's just extraordinary.

NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S Lens: A standard zoom lens that's anything but standard.
A 24-70mm zoom lens covers a sweet spot of the focal length range. With the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S Lens, you can capture wide-angle views one moment, close-ups the next, and everything in between. Thisreimagining of the classic everyday zoom, optimized and evolved for new Z seriesmirrorless cameras, achieves breakthrough image quality and performance for bothstills and videos.

Breakthrough Z System Performance

Cutting-edge optical technology
Empowered by the Z system's larger mount, shorter flange distance, and cutting-edge imaging advancements, the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens delivers uncanny sharpness, vibrance, and even lighting across the entire frame.

Consistently brilliant
The constant f/4 max aperture of this NIKKOR Z series lens maintains consistent exposure at any zoom setting. Record smooth zoom transitions with even lighting across the entire sequence.

Not rough around the edges
The larger Z Mount enablesepic definition and resolution from the center of the frame to the edges. No need to stop this lens down.

True to life
A new optical formulaachieves faithful color reproduction with minimal axial/lateral chromatic aberration and virtually zero sagittal coma flare, even at 24mm.

Smalland mighty

At home away from home
With a highly versatile zoom range for both stills and video, yet a wonderfully compact and lightweight design, the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens is an ideal travel companion.

Think small
Close focus is less than 1 foot (11.8-inches) from your subject (at any focal length) for macro-style shots witha 0.3X reproduction ratio-much larger than most comparable lenses.

NewDual Detect 5 Axis VR
Uses the Z series mirrorless camera's superior in-camera image stabilization system for up to 5 stops of pitch, roll, yaw, and X and Y shake correction. Additional electronic VR (e-VR) during video capture.

Durable & lightweight
Extensively sealed against dust and moisture, especially around all moving parts of the lens barrel. Includes nonstick Fluorine coating on the front lens element for easy cleaning.

The Front Line of an Imaging Revolution

Next-generation Z design and optics
Nikkor Z lenses, perfectly matched to Z series mirrorless camera bodies, are designed with a sense of consistency that combines reliability and beauty with next-dimension optical performance for freedom in image creation.

Accuracy abounds
The larger Z Mount allows more data to be shared between lens and camera for faster, more accurate focusing and improved distortion control.

Silent stepping
Designed specifically for the new Z Mount size, an ultra-quiet new stepping motor (STM) powers fast, near-silent AF and aperture adjustments.

New CustomizableControl Ring
The customizable lens ring on the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S canbe used for manual focusing (default), aperture control (great for iris transitions during video recording), or exposure compensation.

Nikkor Features
Stepping Motor: NIKKOR Z lenses use a stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, quiet autofocus with reduced wobbling. This quiet drive system makes the lenses ideal for use when shooting video.

Aspherical - Extra-low Dispersion Glass Elements: An ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element that features the characteristics of an Aspheric glass element for a more compact-sized lens. LikeAspherical lenses, AS-ED lens elements minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens. The AS-ED lens elements are optical glass developed by Nikon to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.

Aspherical Lens: A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens.

Nano Crystal Coat: An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internallens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths. Nano Crystal Coat solves ghost effects caused by red light and effectively reduces ghost and flarecaused by light entering the lens diagonally.

Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism: An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting. Withconventional D/G type lenses, the diaphragm blades are operated by mechanical linkage levers.

IF Lens: A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKOR lenses do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.

Fluorine Coat: Photographers need gear that can withstand the elements. Nikon's fluorine coat effectively repels dust, water droplets, grease or dirt, ensuring easy removal even when they adhere to the lens surface. Nikon's fluorine coat endures a high frequency of lens surface wiping and its anti-reflective effect also contributes to the capture of clear images.

Super Integrated Coating: Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.
