Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S
The Z-mount do-everything travel and event zoom, an S-line 24-120mm f/4 with 77mm filters at 630 g, and a versatile enthusiast pick. Its wide-to-short-tele range makes it a single-lens solution for varied shooting. Ideal for travel, events, and walkaround use where flexibility beats speed; reach elsewhere if you need f/2.8 for low light or shallower depth of field.
