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 вЂ“ 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 IвЂ™ve rated the features with a (or ), when itвЂ™s better than average or even state of the art, a if itвЂ™s standard or just average, and if thereвЂ™s a disadvantage.

LetвЂ™s compare the Nikon Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S to the Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f2.8E FL ED VR (вЂњF-NikkorвЂќ for short), the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 DG OS HSM Sports (вЂњSigmaвЂќ), and the Tamron SP AF 70-200mm f2.8 Di VC USD G2 (вЂњTamronвЂќ).

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 вЂ“ 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 NikonвЂ™s new 1.4x and 2.0x Z teleconverter. ItвЂ™s also one of the few Z-Nikkor to have optical image stabilization вЂ“ thus providing much needed vibration reduction even on the Nikon Z50. Announced in January 2020, itвЂ™s already NikonвЂ™s fourteenth Z-mount lens but only the second native zoom with a fast f2.8 focal ratio and complements NikonвЂ™s Z 24-70mm f2.8 S standard zoom.
