Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S
NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S – lab tests
Sharpness
Centre sharpness is terrific and edge sharpness is unusually good for a standard zoom lens, beating the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 DSLR lens and matching Sony’s legendary 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master.
Fringing: 0.19
(nearer 0 is better)
Colour fringing is well controlled, even right at the edges of the frame. It’s an uncommonly good performance from an all-purpose standard zoom lens.
Distortion: 0.18
(nearer 0 is better)
Compared to other lenses of this type, the distortion levels are so low as to be practically non-existent. The specs may be modest, but this lens is a stellar performer.
Verdict
On paper, the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 looks unambitious, but its small size, light weight and great optical performance make it an exceptional companion for the Nikon Z7.
