The NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S is a wide-angle to short-telephoto zoom lens from Nikon. Its focal length range covers uses from landscape to portraiture. The constant f/4 maximum aperture stays the same throughout the zoom range. The design is relatively compact and lightweight.
The optical design combines three ED elements, one aspherical ED element and three aspherical elements. These control chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range. ARNEO and Nano Crystal coatings reduce ghosting, reflections and flare in strong or backlit light. The Nano Crystal Coat controls incidental light from a diagonal direction, and the ARNEO Coat controls it from a vertical direction.
Two synchronized AF drive units with stepping motors provide smooth, quiet autofocus for stills and video. Internal focusing keeps the lens length the same during use. Full-time manual focus override is available, and a dedicated manual focus ring sits at the rear of the lens. A programmable control ring can adjust aperture, ISO or exposure compensation. The barrel is dust- and moisture-resistant, and a fluorine coating covers the front.
