Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4.0 S (Bulk)

Versatile S-Line Standard Zoom for Nikon Z Cameras

What "bulk" means on this listing

This is a bulk unit: a lens that came inside a camera kit and has been extracted from it. It is completely new and unused, with zero shots taken. Optically and mechanically it is exactly the same lens Nikon supplies in its kits — same optics, same build, same serial-numbered product. The only difference is that it is sold on its own, without the individual retail box.

Overview

The NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S is the standard zoom most Z-mount photographers end up keeping on the camera. A 5x range that runs from proper wide-angle to short telephoto, a constant f/4 aperture and S-Line optics make it a genuine one-lens solution for travel, landscape, portraits and events.

Key features

A range that covers the whole day

• 24-120mm focal range: wide enough for interiors and landscape at 24mm, long enough for flattering portraits and detail at 120mm, without changing lenses.
• Constant f/4 aperture: exposure does not shift as you zoom, which matters when you are working fast at an event or pulling a zoom on video.

S-Line optical quality

• 16 elements in 13 groups, including 3 ED elements, 1 aspherical ED element and 3 aspherical elements: controls chromatic aberration and distortion across the whole range.
• Nano Crystal and ARNEO coatings: cut ghosting and flare when shooting into the light, so backlit scenes keep their contrast.
• 9 rounded diaphragm blades: smooth, round out-of-focus highlights.

Close focus and handling

• 0.35 m minimum focus distance and 0.39x magnification: close enough for detail and product shots without carrying a macro lens.
• Customisable control ring and L-Fn button: assign aperture, ISO or exposure compensation and keep your eye at the viewfinder.
• Weather-sealed build with a fluorine-coated front element: keeps working in dust and drizzle, and wipes clean.
