1 The L-fn button can be customized to perform various tasks via the host camera’s custom settings menu.

2 The same is true for the ‘de-clicked’ control ring that sits just behind the L-fn button.

3 There’s an A-M switch for quick and easy selection of autofocus or manual focus, something that’s omitted in some Z-mount lenses.

The Nikkor Z 24-120mm f/4 S fills a small gap in Nikon’s line-up of Z-mount standard zoom lenses, slotting in between the more compact Z 24-70mm f/4 S and the hefty Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S ‘trinity’ zoom. It’s sure to find favour with Nikon photographers shifting to mirrorless from a full-frame DSLR, where they have long enjoyed the versatile 5x zoom range of the AF-S 24-120mm f/4G ED VR. The F-mount edition is still highly popular, not just as a kit lens option with full-frame DSLRs like the D750 and the D780, but in its own right as a walkabout zoom.
