The Z 24-70mm f/4 is a great lens for what it is, but it's no match for the f/2.8 version and likely neither for a macro at short focus distances. Going for the Z 85mm f/1.8 over the zoom will surely yield sharper images, but in order to shoot at very short distances, a macro will probably be even better. yf5B. I did some research and I stumbled upon Ken Rockwell's 35-70 review, in which he states: This 35-70mm f/2.8 AF-D was Nikon's flagship professional midrange zoom of the 1990s, and has pretty much the same optical performance as the newest 24-70mm f/2.8 AFS, with a lot less size, weight and cost.

Meanwhile, the Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S has 5.01% barrel distortion at its highest, which is at 24mm. Finally, the Nikon Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 leads the pack (and not in a good way) with 5.82% barrel distortion at 24mm. Overall, the Nikkor Z 24-70mm F2.8 S sets a new benchmark by which other 24-70mm lenses will be judged.
