Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S

Product Information

These (now) go on the same flat area of a lens, but with the 24-120mm the logo is at the horizontal position and the L-Fn button is just above that, while on the 100-400mm lens, for example, the L-Fn2 button is at the horizontal position and the Nikon S logo is above it. So the Z 24-120mm f4 S is the perfect choice for those wanting more reach than the standard 24-70mm lens and value a constant f4. Note that this lens also has a weather-resistant design to help protect it against dust and moisture. To me, the biggest handling issue with the 24-120mm f/4 S is Nikon’s inconsistency with the position of the rings on their mirrorless lenses in general.

The Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S opens up your options by capturing astoundingly sharp images with captivating resolution—all the way to the edges of the frame. For its versatility, impressive zoom range, functional macro capabilities, and lightweight construction, I’m giving the Nikon Z 24-120mm f4 S lens four out of five stars. Actual focus speed can be quite fast (and very quiet) in good light with the correct AF-Area mode set.

Focus on the F-Nikkor works differently as it has a direct linear mechanical coupling between the focus ring and the focus action. But almost nothing on the market performs as well on all those points at once as the 24-120mm f/4 S. The L-Fn customizable button sits above the proudly displayed large metal S on the left of the lens. Chromatic Aberration: Even though f/4 isn't a particularly fast aperture, I see clear longitudinal CA at f/4, which mostly goes away by f/5.

To drive this system is powerful stepping motors that provide autofocusing that is super-smooth, virtually silent and has next to zero focus breathing - it’s perfect for both stills and video. Included in the box is a petal-shaped lens hood (HB-102), which fits onto the Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S’ 77mm filter thread. Maybe this was partly because I already owned the first gen F mount G version of the lens, which I could use with the FTZ adapter. With its broad reach, the Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S Lens delivers versatility and convenience without compromising on quality. The Z 24-120mm f/4 S’s plastic feels reassuring in-hand and didn’t scratch easily during my months with the lens.This lens is good enough—that S designation is well deserved—that it introduces a clear conundrum for mid-range zoom lens users. The Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S Lens is a versatile and compact full frame lens covers a wide-angle to portrait-length range and features a constant f/4 maximum aperture. This is subject to the value of the additional products not exceeding the value of the qualifying product. We also offer product videos, reviews and image samples to help you to choose which camera or lens is right for you. Suiting both photo and video applications, a stepping AF motor is also featured for smooth, near-silent autofocus performance.

You can photograph almost any everyday subject, from landscapes to portraits, if your lens covers both wide angles and moderate telephotos.Never seen without a camera (or far from one), Feroz picked up the art of photography from his grandfather at a very early age (at the expense of destroying a camera or two of his). I am now a Z9 user and have a Z100-400mm, I have a wish to know a little more about the Z24-100mm F4, especially to learn about how a Lens Collar might attach to it .
