NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S

Release Year2022·
Full Frame

<p><strong>NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S</strong> is a full-frame Z-mount standard zoom designed as a practical one-lens option for photographers and videographers who cover many subjects in the same day. The <strong>24-120mm</strong> range moves naturally from landscape, architecture and street framing to portrait and short-telephoto compression without stopping to change lenses, while the constant <strong>f/4</strong> aperture keeps exposure behavior consistent through the full zoom travel. Nikon places it in the S-Line for controlled aberrations, strong contrast and dependable edge-to-edge detail, qualities that matter when scenes change quickly and working distance is never fixed. At about <strong>630 g</strong>, with a 77 mm filter thread and roughly 84 x 118 mm dimensions, it balances portability and confidence for long shooting days. Nikon announced this model on October 28, 2021, and commercial availability followed on January 28, 2022.</p><p>The optical formula uses <strong>16 elements in 13 groups</strong>, including <strong>3 ED elements</strong>, one aspherical ED element and three additional aspherical elements to suppress both axial and lateral chromatic aberration. <strong>Nano Crystal Coat</strong> and <strong>ARNEO Coat</strong> help reduce flare and ghosting under hard backlight, and the fluorine-coated front element improves cleaning speed in regular field use. A 0.35 m minimum focus distance across the zoom range plus a 0.39x maximum reproduction ratio makes the lens useful for detail work, product framing and environmental close-ups without moving to a dedicated macro lens. Dual STM-based multi-focusing supports quiet, responsive AF for stills and video, and the barrel includes a customizable control ring plus a programmable Fn button for direct access to ISO, exposure compensation and other frequent settings.</p><p>In everyday use, this lens is strongest in assignments where efficiency and image quality must coexist: travel, weddings, events, documentary street work, editorial production and hybrid photo-video creation. At 24 mm it captures broad context in interiors and landscapes; in the 35-70 mm zone it delivers natural perspective for reportage; from 85-120 mm it supports flattering portrait compression with smooth background separation for an f/4 zoom. For video, quiet AF, controlled breathing behavior and fixed-aperture consistency simplify follow shots, pans and variable-light scenes. Nikon also released firmware <strong>Ver.1.20</strong> on May 14, 2026, with improvements to aperture-operation stability and lower mechanical aperture noise during use. It does not replace a fast f/2.8 zoom for the most demanding low-light jobs, but as a balanced optic for quality, reach and carry weight, it remains one of the most complete all-purpose choices in the Z system.</p>
