Essential zoom range. Exquisite image quality.
Go from 24mm wide angle views to 120mm telephoto close-ups and everything in between with spectacular image quality. The NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S brings a versatile all-purpose zoom range together with premium S-Line optics, a constant f/4 aperture, close focusing, robust weather-sealing and superior resolution-all in a compact, travel-friendly package.
Quality you can see. Literally.
The NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S bears the S-Line designation, reserved for premium NIKKOR Z lenses with the most advanced optics, superior resolution, beautiful bokeh, robust weather sealing and precision design.
Versatile. Like you.
Cover everything from landscapes, architecture and interiors to candids, portraits, interviews and close-ups. If you have to choose just one lens for a shoot, an event or travel, the NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S should be at the top of your list.
Constant f/4 aperture.
Set your aperture and shutter speed once, then zoom and reframe without affecting exposure. Get a consistent, beautiful look at any distance, especially useful for zooming during video recording.
Embrace backlighting.
Nano Crystal Coat minimizes reflections that cause lens flare and ghosting for remarkably sharp, high contrast results, even when shooting into direct sunlight.
Effortless autofocus.
Autofocus is split between two high-speed, ultra-quiet STM stepping motors moving in sync. The design enables thrilling close focusing, edge-to-edge sharpness and virtually no color bleeding or focus breathing.
Macro-style close focusing.
When you want to show the smallest details, get as close as 1.15 ft. from your subject and still zoom all the way to 120mm. Comfortably shoot interiors, food, over the shoulder shots, how-to videos and more.
Outstanding for video.
With its versatile zoom range, constant f/4 aperture, ultra-quiet focusing, suppressed focus breathing and smooth aperture adjustments, the NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S is a workhorse for video applications.
Brilliant. By design.

Mark of excellence. S-Line badge.
Denotes premium NIKKOR Z lenses with the most advanced optics, beautiful bokeh, superior resolution and robust weather-sealing.
Technology
Aspherical Lens
A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens.
Stepping Motor
NIKKOR Z lenses use a stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, quiet autofocus with reduced wobbling. This quiet drive system makes the lenses ideal for use when shooting video.
ARNEO Coat
An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon and used in conjunction with Nano Crystal Coat to further reduce ghost and flare effects caused by incident light entering the lens vertically. This allows for the outstandingly clear capture of images even when a light source is located within the frame.
Nano Crystal Coat
An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths. Nano Crystal Coat solves ghost effects caused by red light and effectively reduces ghost and flare caused by light entering the lens diagonally.
ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass
An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.
Aspherical - Extra-low Dispersion Glass Elements
An ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element that features the characteristics of an Aspheric glass element for a more compact size lens. Like Aspherical lenses, AS-ED lens elements minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens. The AS-ED lens elements are optical glass developed by Nikon to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.
IF Lens
A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.
