Nikon has taken the wraps off a new standard zoom lens for mirrorless - the Z 24-70mm F2.8 S.
The Z 24-70mm F2.8 S has been on Nikon`s Z-series roadmap since the mount was announced last August, and is being pitched by Nikon as a perfect fast standard lens for the Z6 and Z7, offering a faster maximum aperture and more robust build quality than the more compact Z 24-70mm F4 S.
Compared to the AF-S 24-70mm F2.8 for F-mount, the new lens is 25% smaller and 18% lighter, with a totally redesigned optical formula comprising 17 elements in 15 groups. Two of the elements are Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass, and four are aspherical. As well as Nikon`s Nano Crystal coating, the 24-70mm introduces a new `Arneo` coat, which is promised to further reduce flare and ghosting. Fluorine coating on the front and rear elements is designed to help make it easier to clean oil and moisture from the outer surfaces of the lens.

An customizable `L-Fn` button is joined by an OLED panel, which can display various information, including focus distance, aperture and focal length. Also new, a third customizable `control ring` joins focus and zoom rings to provide direct control over various exposure parameters (if desired).
The new Z 24-70mm F2.8 S will ship later this spring, at an MSRP of $2299.
