These two series compliment and confirm each other.
This first series evaluates the Nikon NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S at 200mm from f/2.8 to f/8 on a distant landscape scene. It evaluates total sharpness near to far and across the frame, as well as how much stopping down improves image quality. The very fine high-contrast detail in the snow gives the lens every chance of showing-off a fine performance. But does it deliver?
