Nikon's premium 5x standard zoom for Z-mount — constant f/4 from 24-120mm with S-line optics.
The Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S launched in 2022 as a premium standard zoom for the Z-mount system, replacing the F-mount 24-120mm f/4G VR. The S-line designation indicates Nikon's highest optical standard. The 5x zoom range makes it an outstanding single-lens solution.
Optically excellent — among the best 24-120mm zooms ever made with consistent sharpness throughout the range. The constant f/4 aperture maintains consistent exposure and depth of field. ARNEO and Nano Crystal coatings control flare. AF is fast and quiet using dual stepping motors.
Nikon Z mount with 77mm filter thread. Weighs 630g — very reasonable for a 5x zoom. Full weather sealing. Minimum focus distance 35cm. The internal zoom mechanism keeps barrel length constant. Control ring customisable. Outstanding for travel and events.
Growing used availability. One of Nikon's most recommended Z lenses — an ideal single-lens solution. The Z 24-70mm f/4 S is smaller but has less range. The Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S is faster but heavier and shorter. Extremely versatile for photographers who want one lens.
