My 24-70 2.8 S for the Z7 arrived Thursday at my local store YM Camera in Youngstown Ohio. Nikon hit it out of the park with this one. The focus is unbelievably fast and the images are tack sharp throughout the the zoom range. At F2.8 indoors low light the corners and edges perfect. Outdoors it preforms perfectly. Definitely one of the best lenses I have ever used. I only regret that it wasn’t available sooner. If anyone is considering this lens don’t be afraid to pull the trigger. It is well worth the money. Another advantage of buying from local brick and mortar stores.

Awhile back here, I mentioned seeing the Imatest numbers for this and the other S lenses and they are the highest I have seen for any lens ! and, yes Nikon has hit it out of the park - as I said they would - because of their new lens mount. ..And, I do not use Nikon and am not a Nikon person......
