Pros: Weight, Price, Image Qualtiy

Cons: Vignetting at 70mm open aperture

Opinion: When someone has Nikon's holy trinity in his bag, I can only say congratulations. That's a cool set of lenses. I have weight and budget restrictions. That's why I took this lens into my consideration. I have also considered the 4/24-120 and the 2.8/24-70. I like using 85mm at f2. So the range 70-120 is not beneficial for me. The 2.8/24-70 was rated as best standard zoom across brands in Germany, but it also meets my restrictions. Finally I invested 350 EUR and bought a used 4/24-70. It was part of a kit. I guess you can find the lens profile in every software. That makes things easy. The image qualtity is good and I guess it beats some Nikon F lenses. It's nice to have it on walk. It's also nice to take it with together with other lenses. Then it covers the rest of the focal length. For example you visit Bamberg. You might pack in your bag a 18mm, 21mm and this small lens. Then you cover a lot! Same with tele primes. A 85mm and 135mm plus this small lens. The lens is simply very practical. The lens has no flaws. The 70mm are not only for portrait, but also great for landscape. The lens has its maxium edge resoltution at 70mm f11. In the end it's a question of personal taste.

Pros: Good lightweight lens and very good definition.

Cons: Show your side when there is little light.

Opinion: I am satisfied with this lens because it is suitable for almost any shooting being a 24-70 mm. The fact that it has a maximum aperture at f4 is not a problem when there is enough light but for night photos or with low ambient light, if you don't have a flash or tripod, the performance drops and you understand that you would need to get at least 2.8 because freehand or you increase the shutter speed or you have to raise the iso and although the Z5 II is a performance camera at 64,000 ISO you can't expect a screaming definition. In my opinion, therefore, if you want a better performance for night photos, you have to think about editing something else, while confirming that with daylight it returns very well-defined photos.

Pros: S-series, good construction, excellent sharpness

Cons: Extrudes by increasing the focal length

Opinion: Lens that I bought in the kit with the Z7 II that I took advantage of the bare minimum as 90% of my shots are taken with wide angle. I took it as the only lens on my trip to Belgrade and I must say that the shots I got were to my liking. Excellent sharpness over the entire frame, small size and weight, S series. The fact that it extrudes by increasing the focal length requires a bit of attention during the shot but I didn't experience it as a big problem. It does not perform very well in photos in the absence of light. A lens that I would recommend purchased in combo with a camera body but that personally (for the type of shots) I would not take in stand-alone mode.

Pros: Good construction, low weight, small size, sharpness

Cons: nobody

Opinion: A good lens, good construction, weight and size make it an excellent travel companion, an all-rounder from 24 to 70mm focal length 4, throughout its sharp and perfect excursion. The reasonable and fair price based on the features and quality mean that we have an all-round lens, its f4 aperture throughout the focal length remains very interesting, used on many occasions it has never disappointed.

Pros: Sharpness (even at full aperture), MAF, silent

Cons: Perhaps a little too contrasted (but nothing that can not be corrected already in the shooting phase)

Opinion: The 24-70 f / 4 is definitely a lens that you can only talk about well, images at all apertures (f / 4 included) sharp without loss of detail both in the central part and at the edges, to date I have not found flare or aberrazzioni, the vignetting is almost non-existent. Fast and silent in the MAF, if it weren't for the sound of the machine you wouldn't even notice it. Darkly an all-round lens (at all focal lengths and apertures) usable and not very swallowing. If you really want to make some criticism, more than the lens should be made to "modern" photography for those who come from older stuff and is used to pass me the term to some more "defect" in the first place, softness in the first place, vignetting etc., these latest generation optics call into question many aspects learned over the years, for those who start with these systems, can not conceive the old 24-70mm af-s ED N, a 2.8 soft, a 70 in short and so on. If you want to take home the shot without fainting, or an all-rounder (which is good) absolutely recommended, if you want a nice bokeh always consiglate fixed optics rather than the older brother 2.8.
