Excellent All-Purpose Lens with Great Image Quality

I have been using the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S lens for some time now, and it has become one of my favorite lenses for everyday photography. The zoom range is very useful because it covers wide-angle shots at 24mm and also lets me zoom in to 120mm for portraits or distant subjects. It is a great all-in-one lens when I don't want to carry multiple lenses. The image quality is excellent. Photos come out sharp with good colors and contrast across the entire zoom range. The constant f/4 aperture is also helpful because the exposure stays consistent while zooming. Autofocus is fast and quiet, which is great for both photos and videos. The build quality feels solid but the lens is still fairly lightweight, so it is comfortable to carry for travel or long shooting sessions. Overall, this lens is a fantastic option for anyone using Nikon Z cameras who wants a versatile, high-quality zoom lens for everyday use.

Poor CA control and not sharper than 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR

I have both and tested them carefully in terms of sharpness and CA. To my surprise 24-200 performs better than 24-120 under the same condition (on tripod, same or very similar ISO, VR off, etc.). From 35mm to 120 mm the 24-200 is noticeably sharper, albeit only slightly. However, 24-120's CA is from much worse (my first piece) to slightly worse (the replacement) than my 24-200. The first piece of 24-120 I got has horrible CA at 70mm even when stopped down to f11, which renders it totally unusable. I returned it and got a second piece which has much less CA but still noticeably worse than my 24-200. It indicates that the build quality of 24-120 is not uniform. It is possible that I am unlucky on 24-120 and lucky on 24-200. I'll return the second 24-120 since it does not have any advantages over my 24-200 other than its constant f/4.0 aperture which affect me little because I mostly taking landscape photographs using tripod. If your need is different, such as portrait or macro, then that's a different matter.

My everyday go to lens.

I love this lens. The focal length range, as well as aperture, for sub $1200, make this such a versatile option. If I can only take one lens when on the road, it is this one. Best bang for the buck and produces some amazing shots.

A great lunch for every day photography. With the 24-120 range you can pretty much photograph anything you want. The images come out crisp and clear, a great carrier around lens.

Choices are between 24-70, 24-120 and 24-200

Oh well it was not available when I bought my 24-70. Almost the same size with better rain protection. Figured the 24-200 is too big for my all around on the camera lens even though at 24-120 they are close in Quality. Its a S.

Nikkor 24-120mm f/4

Love this lens. Is a versatile lens that can be used for any occasion, function, vacation and everyday use. Sharp and detailed, and gives you the quality you're looking for. The only negative for me is that it's an f/4, but if you're looking for a excellent quality lens for a wife range of photography, I highly recommend this lens.

Great lens for nearly everything. Best for traveling.

This lens and all the Nikon "S" lens are capable of producing unexplainably sharp images. This lens is well constructed and feels like a professional lens, as it should. My only complaint is the f4 maximum aperture size. Would have been much better with just a slightly faster f-stop, even if only one or one and a half stops more.

Favorite All Around Lens!

I had been hoping that Nikon would issue a 24-105 f/4 like Canon had for their RF system. Then, Nikon comes out with this! Love this lens for all around travel photography. On my old Z6 (original), it is very sharp, even at f/4. And that extra reach to 120 mm is most welcome. Love this lens!

Absolute best lens for my Z8, Z7ii, and Z7 cameras.

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.

One of Nikon's best value lenses for the Z mount system

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.

The Nikkor Z 24 - 120 F 4 lens makes it possible to travel light, while achieving outstanding image quality!

I debated for a while between this lens and the Nikkor Z 28 - 75 F 2.8 zoom since I've relied on 'fast' lenses with my Nikon SLRs for decades. My decision to purchase this lens was strongly influenced by reviews from other photographers, coupled with the higher ISO ranges that modern Nikon cameras offer. This broad range renders the one-stop advantage offered by the 2.8 aperture as less of an incentive. I'm enjoying the lens, and look forward to taking advantage of the broad zoom range and constant aperture! I like the compact design and solid build quality of the lens The overall feel of the lens is great, and I'm particularly pleased with the customizable control ring, which I'll likely leave assigned for aperture control.!

Stellar lens

By MARK P.

Extremely sharp corner to corner. I find it hard to believe that the Z 24-70 2.8S can be any sharper than this lens. If you don't need 2.8 then go with this. It's stellar.
