This is similar to the F-Nikkor (22 elements in 18 groups) but with a higher number of special elements. Optics: The Nikon Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S is a pretty complex design with 21 elements in 18 groups including 10 special dispersion elements and 2 aspherical elements. The heavy glas elements of the front-end look very similar in both constructions: The reason for size and weight of both Nikkor lenses being so similar becomes clearer when looking at the optical construction. So the new Z-Nikkor is the lightest 70-200mm f2.8 lens on a Z-camera body – but not by a great margin.

Plus another 133g for the FTZ adapter to use the F-Nikkor, Sigma or Tamron on a Nikon Z camera.
The Sigma is the heaviest of the group at 1810g (including tripod collar but without lens hood), the Tamron is 1370g + 109g tripod collar + 57g lens hood.
The F-Nikkor is 1357g (47.9oz.) + 71g tripod foot + 63g lens hood. Weight: 1359g (48 oz.) plus 82g tripod foot plus 63g for the lens hood. Zooming does not change the length of these lenses. But for an apples-to-apples comparison one has to add another 30.5mm for the FTZ adapter when using the F-Nikkor, Sigma or Tamron on a Nikon Z camera. The Sigma is 94 x 203mm (w/o lens hood), the Tamron 88 x 191mm + 89mm lens hood. Size (diameter x length): At 89 x 220mm (3.5 x 8.7in.) plus 56mm for the lens hood (which is 111mm in diameter) the new Z-Nikkor is slightly longer than the F-Nikkor at 89 x 203mm (3.5 x 8.0in) + 62mm lens hood. As usual I’ve rated the features with a (or ), when it’s better than average or even state of the art, a if it’s standard or just average, and if there’s a disadvantage. Let’s compare the Nikon Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S to the Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f2.8E FL ED VR (“F-Nikkor” for short), the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 DG OS HSM Sports (“Sigma”), and the Tamron SP AF 70-200mm f2.8 Di VC USD G2 (“Tamron”).

In my review I’ve compared the new lens and its F-mount predecessor. The Nikon Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S is listed at 2730 EUR (incl. It can indicate focal length, aperture, or focusing distance and depth-of-field.

But other features put the new Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S ahead of its F-mount sibling: It has a customizable function ring which can be assigned to operate the aperture or the ISO or exposure compensation and it features the nifty OLED display which Nikon introduced with its Z 24-70mm f2.8 S lens. And it inherits the detachable tripod foot of the F-Nikkor – although the third-party replacements for the foot of the F-Nikkor will not work with the Z-Nikkor. The new Z-Nikkor also has additional function buttons which can be assigned AE/AF-lock or AF-on. Physically, the Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S is very similar to its F-mount predecessor, the AF-S 70-200mm f2.8E FL ED VR, in size and weight and both lenses do not extend while zooming. Plus it works with Nikon’s new 1.4x and 2.0x Z teleconverter. It’s also one of the few Z-Nikkor to have optical image stabilization – thus providing much needed vibration reduction even on the Nikon Z50. Announced in January 2020, it’s already Nikon’s fourteenth Z-mount lens but only the second native zoom with a fast f2.8 focal ratio and complements Nikon’s Z 24-70mm f2.8 S standard zoom.

Alternatively get yourself a copy of my In Camera book or treat me to a coffee! Thanks! But still: if you want the best 70-200mm zoom for your Nikon Z camera body, get the new Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S: it comes Highly Recommended - if you can get a good copy! Buy it now! Check prices on the Nikon Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S at B&H, Adorama, or Wex. It may not be smaller and lighter than the old lens and its Bokeh may be a bit more nervous in some situations. And - more substantially - on image stabilization. Nikon's newest telephoto Z-Nikkor zoom improves slightly on some aspects of the F-Nikkor like FX-corner performance, loCA, focus-shift, focus-breathing, close-up performance. But that is good news: the F-Nikkor was simply the best 70-200mm f2.8 zoom lens for Nikon cameras and still is an excellent lens. Summary The Nikon Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S may not be much better than its F-mount predecessor, the Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f2.8E VR.
