Lens Overview — Nikon 24-120mm f/4 S

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S is a full-frame zoom lens designed for Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras, covering a focal length range of 24mm to 120mm with a constant maximum aperture of f/4. This 5x zoom range makes it a genuinely versatile option for photographers who want a single lens capable of handling wide environmental shots at 24mm and tighter, more compressed perspectives at 120mm without ever changing glass. The constant f/4 aperture across the entire zoom range is a practical advantage, ensuring predictable exposure settings whether you are at the wide end or fully telephoned in.

Mounted via the Nikon Z bayonet, it integrates natively with Nikon's Z-system mirrorless bodies and supports both autofocus and manual focus operation, giving shooters flexibility depending on the situation. With a filter thread size of 77mm, it accepts standard large-format filters, which is useful for landscape and long-exposure work. The lens weighs 630 grams, which is reasonable for a full-frame zoom of this range.

It carries Nikon's S-line designation, indicating it sits at the higher end of the NIKKOR Z lineup in terms of optical ambition. Overall, it is a strong all-purpose zoom for Z-mount users.
