NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S

Just purchased this for an upcoming two week tourist trip. The weight of my mirrorless 70-200mm (otherwise perfect) makes it a physical burden on long days when constantly on the move. I've taken just a few shots with the 24-120, including in relatively low light, and it performs extremely well. Its range and weight make it the ideal travel choice. Packing with only one lens simplifies my pre-departure packing, and will be liberating on the road because lens changes and the weight of camera equipment become tiresome.

Absolutely amazing 24-120 and the best I have used. Way better than the Sony 24-105 f4 G.

I have always kept the f/2.8 line of zooms (14-24, 24-70, 70-200). I just got my z8 and knew I'd have to move into the mirrorless lenses as I still retained the dslr AF-S collection. Initially, I went to the 24-70 2.8 but that focal length range was a bit short to really be a good all-purpose walk-around zoom. I was concerned this lens would compromise sharpness or introduce more distortions (barrel, pincushioning). I am so pleased with this. The S-Series have great optics and I haven't lost much giving up the extra bit of aperture. I'm planning the 100-400mm and a 85 f/1.2 next. No regrets on this purchase!

Absolutely excellent lens for all types of photography. Its range covers most of event session without the need for lens changing. Very fast focusing and sharp at all focal length and aperture. It replaces my Z 24-70 mm/f2.8 and Z24-200 mm lenses which I've used for over a year. Altogether, I've had Z14-30, Z24-120, and Z70-180 lenses for every thing I needed.

This is another example of a superior lens at a bargain price. It performs well over its entire range closely matching the image quality of prime lenses and, yet, way more versatile. The best travel lens for the discerning photographer that wants images beyond what a cell phone provides. Also good for macro type shots as it focuses really close.

Great lens covers wide range. Great sharpness
