To make it a landscape, what I was looking for was a zoom with a good focal range, excellent sharpness, and good behavior in difficult light conditions, such as backlighting. This lens best responds to all the previous points and is in fact the lens that made me make the leap to the Nikon Z system. Especially in terms of optical quality it is really excellent, quality equal to the 24-70 F/4 but with a focal range that is double. If we then look at the competition, given that the equivalents stop at 105 mm, looking at all the various reviews I did not find a lens on par. In addition to sharpness, excellent behavior in difficult light conditions with almost total absence of flare and beautiful sunstars. It is not super-light, but neither is it heavy, in line if not below with the direct competitors of other brands. If we want to find faults, distortion is important especially at 24 mm, but perfectly canceled out by the correction in the car. It also has no internal zoom, but it can also be seen as an advantage, because otherwise the footprint would have been really important. Highly recommended goal! sent on November 22, 2025 |
 | Nikon Z7 II Pros: image quality, crop capability, no AA filter, ergonomics, light weight, Z optics Cons: Autofocus not of the latest generation, limited number of physical buttons compared to previous reflexes, usability not always at maximum, tilting screen only horizontally Opinion: I state that I come from a Nikon D7200 and that I mainly dedicate myself to landscape photography. The Nikon Z7II is undoubtedly a big step forward, especially thanks to its exceptional sensor and the extraordinary quality of the Z lenses. In landscape photography, this camera really comes into its own: the high-resolution sensor allows you to achieve incredible detail and excellent dynamic range. In addition, its pixel density allows it to crop down to APS-C format, while still maintaining about 20 megapixels — a significant advantage when you happen to devote yourself to wildlife or wildlife photography, even if only occasionally. The high ISO resistance is also good: the great resolution helps a lot in reducing noise in post-production, thanks to the level of detail that the camera is able to return. Moving on to the cons, there are several. The general impression is that the Z7II represents a still immature project for Nikon in the mirrorless field, then improved with subsequent models. The autofocus works well in good light conditions, but in low light it is less performing than that of the D7200. Even the typical functions of the mirrorless system, such as face recognition, are sometimes uncertain. It also lacks the advanced recognitions (animals, birds, etc.) introduced in newer Nikon models. However, I was aware of these limitations before the purchase and, considering my use, I do not consider them penalizing. I could have opted for a Z8, but I discarded it because it was too heavy and bulky for my taste. An aspect that disappointed me the most is that of usability, which in some ways I consider a step backwards compared to the D7200. Some examples: the shutter lag is deactivated every time the camera is turned off, there is no dedicated dial for shooting mode, no dedicated buttons for autofocus and bracketing (there are customizable FN buttons, but I would have liked at least one more), in User mode, the changes made (such as aperture or ISO) are not saved after the camera is turned off. All these aspects, although minor, represent a step backwards in terms of usability and practicality compared to the D7200. In conclusion, the Nikon Z7II remains an excellent camera, capable of doing practically anything, but with some operational limitations that make it more suitable for those looking for maximum image quality rather than versatility and operating speed. sent on November 04, 2025 |
