The new lens lily

I got a new lens for the Z7, another 24-70mm but f2.8 instead of f4, which is new and wasn’t available when I bought the camera. I just walked around the neighborhood (in 94 degree heat!) trying it out with whatever I could find. I need to take it out again once the heat wave is over to see if it was worth the significantly higher price. This isn't the lens I would normally use for this kind of shot, but the flowers were there so I photographed them. And it's severely cropped.

Best to view in "Original" or “Auto” because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Accommodating, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 , Nikkor Z 24-70 f2.8 S
1/200s f/8.0 at 70.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Looks great and the colors are superb. A f2.8 zoom is always handy. V

so far so good; I think a lens you can use close to gets the 3 dimensional form better than others

Beautiful flower with the orange against a dark background. If DC was as hot today as it was here, you really are devoted to take a walk in the heat. Canon's 24-70 f/2.8 II lens was the lens I wanted for my full frame body. Unfortunately, the Canon f/2.8 doesn't have IS. Plus it's an old lens... So I'm holding off . I look forward to seeing more photos from your new lens. Enjoy it!
