This series looks at performance from near to far of the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S from f/2.8 through f/11 at 24mm. Across the frame performance, field curvature are assessed, along with one curious behavior that degrades sharpness.

Includes images up to full camera resolution plus crops and a 5-frame focus stack.

I’m definitely not ready to use a zoom lens for landscape photography.

As an aside (independent of the lens), having worked so much with Multi-Shot High-Res mode images recently—, the image quality of Bayer Matrix sensors when detail approaches sensor resolution is so disappointing.
