Cons:Nothing. Some would say the cost, but for those who have a fine palate and can use it to the fullest, the value for money is even advantageous
Opinion:Everything has been written about this lens, especially by those who - not wanting to bear the outlay - try to convince themselves. And so we read about some users who prefer the poor cousin f/4 or other stuff from tamron, or others who complain about its excessive weight although it weighs 250 grams less than the previous 24-70 VR Nikon F mount. Not to mention the many who complain about the price. Yet objectively Nikon has explained well from the beginning the trend of the Z lenses: there are the cheap, the tamron-derived and finally the S, and the latter play in a league of their own, no one in their right mind and with a fine palate would ever compare them to the other two series. And our Z 24-70 f/2.8 is no exception, it was designed to be first in class and it does just fine! Although more compact and lighter than the 24-70 that preceded it, it manages to unleash performance that other brands can only dream of. Extremely sharp from edge to edge but its sharpness is "lively", not sterile and cold and the bokeh (for what the aperture allows...) is mellow and very pleasant, the colors vivid and bright. It solves the sensor of my Z9 but when I feel like it, in light releases, it also ennobles that of the ZF. The three-dimensionality here is really high-level, the subject portrayed "comes out" of the photo and to appreciate what I say just a double-blind comparison with the 24-70 f/4 or with the various tamron-nikons. An added bonus, it doesn't have VR. And I say advantage because Nikon is certainly not famous for the longevity of its VRs (and someone would also add that of the AF motors of the lenses just barely heavy). Never mind, the stabilizers on the Z sensors still do their dirty work, and they do it really well, with Z9 I often use it up to 1/15 of a second. In conclusion: do you like beautiful pieces of optics and mechanics, the eternal ones that every time you view a file produced by them you find yourself with an idiotic smile on your face? Well, then the Z f/2.8 is the 24-70 for you (indeed, for us!), spend that money light-heartedly and you won't regret it. After all, coffins with pockets have not yet started to make them...
Opinion:Optics of excellent workmanship has a nice yield even at full aperture, bright and balanced colors, the only flaw perhaps the attack of the 82mm filter, for those who have triad a little is penalized, but objectively it is not a great defect, the weight a little there is but it is worth paying the price of the weight but having a robust and quality product in hand.
Opinion:Someone says that the price is exaggerated but if you are not looking for the maximum there is the 28-75 which is an f/2.8 , it is a very good optics and costs half. If you don't need an f/2.8 there is the yummy 24-70 f4 that has a crazy optical quality and weighs only 500g! Many call the 24-70mm f/2.8 Z heavy, but it weighs 100g less than its older brother Nikon AF-S 24-70 f/2.8. It's not little eh... For me this lens is a masterpiece! Fast, extremely sharp at all apertures and focal lengths, focusing distance of only 35cm, colors, three-dimensionality, not to forget the tropicalization etc.etc. Yes, it costs, but it will help you to always bring home a good job ;)
Cons:I would have preferred the 77 filters, but that's it.
Opinion:An extraordinary lens: for sharpness, colors, three-dimensionality, bokeh, general rendering of the images it returns. For me one of the best lenses from Nikon. I also had the F4 version... sharp, for heaven's sake, but also extremely "flat". The 2.8 plays another championship. As I see it, it counts as an entrance ticket to the Z system.
Pros:Quality of the files, it can almost very well replace the fixed s except the 50 mm, made in japan.
Cons:For now nothing
Opinion:Taken for two days, I reserve the right to test it even before judging it definitively. It is a bit big and heavy but in the well-balanced context with the z7ll, the plastics are of good quality even if the barrel that protrudes could work it better, for the rest the "pro" feeling is felt. L I took it after buying the z7ll in kit with 24/70 f4 , l f4 unfortunately L I found it expensive for what it offers, compact but too sharp, flat, and unusable in close portraits if not post-produced heavily to eliminate all the imperfections even non-existent skin etc., try to make a portrait and look at the hair, they look like wire, too sharp, dry, without volume, it looks more like a scan than a photo ? The 2.8 unlike what is said, has nothing to do with the f4, it is not only brighter and more expensive of course, but returns sharp files but not for reproduction. The realism, three-dimensionality and general rendering are of an excellent level even if lower than some of my zeiss. Compared with 24,35,50 and 85 s I can say that it manages to replace them all except for the brightness' obviously and the only one that I consider superior is the 50 mm S, they could certainly do better but as long as we want lenses without any defect will continue to add lenses with all the pros and cons, for now vote 9.
