When it comes to zoom lenses, the 24-70mm focal range is considered by many working photographers to be one of the “holy trinity” focal ranges, and is often the first zoom lens that many opt to purchase due to its versatility of being suitable for a huge variety of subject matter ranging from landscapes, real estate, street, solo to group portraiture, and so much more. While Nikon released a 24-70mm zoom to complement their Full Frame Z mount mirrorless cameras at launch, that particular lens had a maximum aperture of only f4 and many photographers interested in the Z mount cameras were left wanting for a faster alternative. Fast forward six months after Nikon introduced their Z mount cameras and the initial trio of lenses (35mm f1.8 Prime, 50mm f1.8 Prime, and the aforementioned 24-70mm f4 Zoom), Nikon officially unveiled the more premium Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f2.8 S. We got to spend some hands-on time with the lens while we were in Las Vegas for WPPI earlier this year, and Nikon was kind enough to provide us with a final production sample of the lens so that we can evaluate it thoroughly on our own terms. Head on after the jump to see how the Z mount 24-70mm f2.8 zoom performed during our real-world tests.

The Micro Four Thirds system doesn’t seem to get much love these days, and that’s a shame. This platform is a firm favorite with many thanks to the smaller size of M4/3 cameras and their overall performance. Micro Four Thirds lenses from both Olympus and Panasonic are stellar too. The smaller sensors found in these cameras are no slouches. They have proven time and time again that they can hang with some of their bigger sensor cousins when paired with the right glass. Here’s a quick look at some of our favorite Micro Four Thirds lenses and what we think they excel in.
Film is not dead, but it’s not for the faint of heart either. It’s not exactly an easy medium compared to digital, and it can be especially unforgiving in low light.
