Review VerdictThe Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S may be an oldie in the Nikon lens lineup, but it still does a good job. Other than the corner quality at 70mm f/4, it's pretty sharp for a zoom lens. Vignetting, image distortions and CAs aren't great in RAW images but that's what image autocorrection is for in these categories. The quality of the bokeh is a bit mixed. Specular highlights are rendered a bit rough but the out-of-focus blur is quite good for such a lens. The build quality is very good although we have our reservations regarding the retractable design and the duo cam zoom mechanism. Having said this, it's very compact and lightweight. Despite the age of the lens, the AF is still pretty good by today's standards. Overall, it's still worth considering the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S when purchased as part of a camera kit whereas it seems a bit overpriced as a standalone offering compared to the Z 24-120mm f/4 S.
