Nikon Australia puts new NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/1.2 S II to the test with photographer Stef King

Nikon Australia engages photographer Stef King to put their new NIKKOR Z 24-70 mm f1.2 S II to the test. Built lighter, faster and sharper than ever, it’s made to keep up with the action, no matter how quick it moves.

King added: “It’s always a pleasure to get a call from Nikon to test something new! Gear isn’t everything but in a world that moves so fast, it needs to keep up. Taking advantage of a very sunny day and a location I knew was architecturally striking, I enlisted the help of Will and James, two parkour athletes I’d previously met on a commercial shoot.

“My brief to them was simple: let’s get up early and see what we can all do. I knew I wanted to play with the sun’s deep shadows, and by taking advantage of the autofocus tracking, I was able to shoot entire sequences of the guys in motion, making it easy to capture those precise moments where athleticism meets art.”
