Frequently asked questions

Does the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S have VR?

No. Z cameras with in-body stabilization compensate. On bodies without IBIS, use a faster shutter speed.

What filter size does the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S use?

It uses 82mm screw-in filters. Check the thread size before buying polarizers or ND filters so they fit without step-up rings.

Is the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S worth it over the F-mount 24-70mm f/2.8E?

The Z lens focuses quietly and is designed for the Z mount without an adapter. The F-mount E lens has its own VR but needs the FTZ adapter on a Z body.
