The best Nikon Z lenses

24–70mm · F2.8 · 675g · $2,800

Reviewers found it sharper than the already strong original, with excellent centre resolution and good edges, negligible longitudinal and low lateral chromatic aberration, and only minor coma and astigmatism.

14–24mm · F2.8 · 650g · $2,400

Reviewers rate the image quality and sharpness as among the best available, and one test found higher resolution than the F-mount 14-24mm f/2.8G at every focal length and much higher contrast against the light.

70–200mm · F2.8 · 998g · $3,200

Reviewers found it very sharp across the frame at f/2.8, with a slightly crisper centre than the first version but a little softening at the edges at 200mm, so overall sharpness is on a par with its predecessor.

400mm · F2.8 · 2,950g · $14,000

Reviewers rank its optics with the best super-telephotos.

135mm · F1.8 · 995g · —

Reviewers call it an outstanding prime.

50mm · F1.2 · 1,090g · $2,100

Reviewers find the centre very sharp at f/1.2 and outstanding from about f/2, with the midframe close behind and the corners the weakest zone until f/2.8 to f/4.

35mm · F1.2 · 1,060g · $2,800

Cameralabs calls it optically the best native 35mm for Nikon Z.

105mm · F2.8 · 630g · $1,000

Sharpness is outstanding in both the centre and the edges of the frame at every aperture including f/2.8, at infinity as well as at 1:1, and field curvature is very low.
