A reliable, flexible mirrorless zoom lens that can be used for almost all types of photography. Expensive, but great for astro and landscape photography.
If you wanted to be ready for almost any astro scenario , we'd absolutely recommend all three lenses. If you're a photographer who likes to take a wide variety of shots, we'd 100% start with this, the 24-70mm. And we'd make sure you don't confuse it with the excellent value, but not perfect for night sky shots, f/4 version. All clear? No? Excellent, let's move on.Digital display on top of the barrelThe Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.
However, if you're attempting to recreate the detail you see in macro images, you'll be disappointed. There's a minimum focusing distance of almost 40cm / 1.3ft here, and even in our well-lit tests, we struggled to get the lens to focus around this distance. That's not a real concern, as this isn't meant to be a macro, but keep it in mind if you're taking astro shots with a foreground element and focus stack where appropriate.
We found this lens perfect for light trails. It gives you the flexibility to adjust your shot to vary the size of your trails, and it has the aperture range to give you the ability to either focus on the trails themselves or flatten the photo out completely. If you do want to shoot motion and handheld trails, it's a handy lens to have too, as it isn't excessively heavy.The lens handles light trails with ease.
As you'd expect from a lens of this quality, the image is pleasingly sharp right to the edge, at all focal lengths. There's no perceptible distortion of the image, nor any light bleeding around the edge or vignetting .There's little more to say about the functions of the lens itself, although the feel and practicalities of its features are well worth mentioning.
At 5-inches and 1.7 lbs, you can happily fit the 24-70mm to most tripods and get very little movement or settling, unless you're combining it with a heavy camera body like the Z9. There's no need for a separate tripod collar/foot with this lens, although you may find it challenges some ball-heads if you're using a glass filter too.
