Lens Description: A popular zoom among sports, event, and portrait photographers, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S from Nikon is an impressively versatile telephoto lens characterized by its bright f/2.8 design. The fast maximum aperture suits working in available lighting conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field for isolating subjects with selective focus. The optical design incorporates a series of ED, fluorite, and SR elements, which help to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range for improved clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats, as well as a Super Integrated Coating, have been applied to suppress flare, ghosting, and surface reflections for improved contrast and color fidelity.

Photography Life Review Summary: Optically, the Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S is one of the best lenses in Nikon's entire lineup. It's the single sharpest zoom lens we have ever tested at Photography Life, and it also has low distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberration, and flare. The main drawback is simply that it's large and heavy, as are most 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses. Also, the high price of $2600 - though not surprising for such a lens - is sure to make some photographers hesitate before buying it.
