Absolutely a fantastic lens. If you are working in low light conditions or taking portraits of people, this is the lens to have. Images are clear and sharp. I use this with my Nikon Z8 and it has not disappointed me.

Has anyone experiences a very slight play in the inner barrel when especially when extended? It's subtle but audible when I gently shake the lens.
Asked by: Sam
I have just looked at this lens on my Z7. Yes, when extended there is the slightest play in the inner barrel, which can be felt and (barely, but clearly) heard. This does not seem to affect anything and this is one of my best, sharpest Nikon lenses. I suspect it is normal.

How does this lens' manual focus compare to that of a mechanical focus lens?
Asked by: Jacob
It is similar and does allow for very precise focusing, but does not have hard stops like a mechanical focus lens.

Is it normal for the telescopic part of the lens to wobble? Giving it a light shake makes a rattle-like noise. I can feel the telescopic section moving back and forth slightly.
Asked by: Dylan
I just received my Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S yesterday and noticed a slight wiggle and can hear the movement if I apply slight pressure on the end of the telescoping barrel when it's extended anywhere from 50mm to 70mm. I called Nikon support today and they confirmed there should be no wiggle with this lens. They suggested calling B&H for an exchange or sending the lens into Nikon for warranty repair. Since I just received the lens I'll be calling B&H when they reopen on Sunday (it's after hours on Friday now).

Is there a collar that makes the new Z lenses backward compatible with existing F mount cameras (Nikon 850)?
Asked by: Lucy
No. You physically cannot adapt Z lenses to F mount cameras, the sensor to flange distance will not allow for this.
