Samples

The following images were taken with the Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S II lens mounted on a 45MP Nikon Z8 camera. The images are RAW files developed in Lightroom 14.5/CRAW 17.5 to Adobe Vivid profile with the lens profile compensating CA, distortions, and vignetting. Noise-reduction was set to 0, sharpening to 50/0.5/36/10. I applied exposure compensation plus some extra tone, color, or saturation adjustment to produce more pleasing images which are closer to what one would normally do when processing RAW files.

The individual exposure details are stated for each image. All of my high resolution Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S II sample images are available to download in their original formats for analysis at Flickr. These files are for personal evaluation only and cannot be used in another publication or website without permission.
