Good - but not as good as the 50mm 1.8 S

This 24/1.8S a useful lens made by Nikon in China. It is not in the same class as the excellent 50mm/1.8S made in Thailand. This starts with attaching the lens to my Z7 - scratchy and hard. This I experienced with other Chinese made Nikon lenses as well. They may use a different material for the Cr-coating or their tolerances are off. Looking at test results: The lens was very good at the left side of the landscape pictures. The right side was not as good and borderline at or below MTF data. Perhaps I did run a bunch of pictures through my workflow and realized that those are all very good after PS CC2020! Compared to the other excellent lens 24-70/2.8S made in Japan at 2.8 this lens is about equal after workflow ( CC PS 2020 0.6 100% at ISO 64). Summary still a very good lens to take good pictures with, but not as good as the 50/1.8S which cost half. The price is on the high side and I returned it sticking to the excellent 24-70 2.8S. The old AFS 20mm 1.8 is as good on the FTZ.

Best 24mm Nikon has made

This is really a sharp lens, its sharp from edge to edge. I use this lens on my Z6 and I love the images I produce with this lens. I shoot weddings and lighting is always an issue. I’m also a natural light shooter. So, whenever I can I don’t use flashes and I like to shoot with fast glass and wide open. This lens allows me to shoot the way I like. While this 24mm is only an F1.8 lens its honestly better than my old F1.4 24mm. It’s sharper, fast and produces better color. If 24mm is a focal length that you use, then you can’t go wrong with this lens. Nice Job Nikon.

Excellent Wide Angle Optics

I just tested my new Nikkor Z 24mm f/1.8 S lens in San Diego, California's Balboa Park. The optics of this lens are excellent. The lens exhibits superior contrast, color, and unnoticeable horizontal and vertical distortion. At the extreme apertures, f/1.8 and f/16, performance is equally consistent. The six photos below demonstrate the lens's performance at various apertures.
