Nikon Z 24-120mm F4 S Nikkor Z Lens in Black

The Nikon Z 24-120mm F4 S is a premium standard zoom lens designed specifically for Nikon's Z-mount mirrorless camera system. It covers a versatile focal range from wide-angle 24mm to telephoto 120mm (5x zoom), making it suitable for various photographic situations including landscapes, portraits, and everyday shooting. With a constant maximum aperture of f/4 throughout the zoom range, it maintains consistent exposure settings and performs well in different lighting conditions. This S-Line lens features advanced optical construction with 16 elements in 13 groups, including three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements, three aspherical elements, and one aspherical ED element to minimise chromatic aberration and distortion. It incorporates both ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coatings to effectively reduce flare and ghosting. The lens employs a multi-focus stepping motor autofocus system that provides fast, quiet, and accurate focusing, complemented by a minimum focusing distance of 0.35 metres for close-up capability. The physical design includes a programmable control ring and L.Fn button for customisation, along with comprehensive weather sealing and a fluorine coating on the front element for protection against moisture, dust, and fingerprints. The lens is particularly well-suited for photographers seeking a single, high-quality zoom lens for travel and general-purpose use with their Nikon Z-series cameras. Its compact and lightweight design (630g) makes it practical for extended handheld shooting, while the rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to attractive bokeh in out-of-focus areas. The combination of optical performance, build quality, and versatile focal range positions this lens as an excellent all-rounder for both enthusiast and professional photographers who value reliability and image quality across different shooting scenarios.
