Description — Nikon 24-50mm f/4-6.3
The Nikon Nikkor Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 is a full-frame, Nikon Z-mount standard zoom lens designed for mirrorless shooters who prioritize portability without sacrificing focal range versatility. With a 24-50mm zoom range, it covers wide to normal perspectives suitable for a variety of everyday shooting situations. Weighing just 195g, it is an exceptionally light companion for Z-mount full-frame bodies.
The variable maximum aperture of f/4 at 24mm to f/6.3 at 50mm is an important consideration for low-light work, and the absence of built-in image stabilization means relying on the camera body for any stabilization support.
