At $2600, the Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S is hardly a cheap lens, though its competitors are similarly expensive. That’s reflected in the lens’s high-end construction, advanced features, and excellent image quality – as well as the high price. The 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S is one of the most advanced lenses for the Nikon Z system yet. We’ve now tested two samples of the lens at Photography Life, both in the field and in the lab. In this in-depth review, I’ll cover everything we’ve learned about the Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S, including how it performs relative to its popular F-mount sibling.

Although the lens was initially launched in January of 2020, shipping was delayed several times and it only became generally available in late 2020. The Nikon Z NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S is a pro-grade telephoto lens designed specifically for Nikon’s mirrorless system.
