NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon Z Cameras - Black

I love this lens. I call it my summer outdoor lens. Indoors I'll use my 50mm f1.8, but outdoors this thing rocks. I'm no expert on lenses but I immediately noticed something indefinable about this lens. Clarity, crisp colors, beautiful blue skies, etc. Can be a great portrait lens with beautiful bokeh. Zooming in all the way from about 2 feet you can get macro-like shots.

What a wonderful lens, love the lens lock on it. Very smooth.

The image quality is super good during all focus distances even at 200mm. And it's well weather sealed. Compared with $1000 sony 24-240, the z 24-200 is definitely a win since the sony 24-240 image quality is quite soft and distortion is server. For cannon 24-240, z 24-240 is still better. The only con of this lens is the aperture gets smaller way faster, where it would get to 6.3 after focal length reaches 70mm. However, from my point of view, this lens is mainly for travel and landscape, where rare situation would require the largest aperture (landscape always smaller than f8 at least), and for night, holding by hand would be a little messy in deed, where the iso would be quite high with low light. Therefore I would give 5 stars considering the using situation.

When I bought a z6 I didn't get a lens. I used my Nikon F mount lenses with the FTZ adapter and they work fine. I decided to buy this lens to get a walk-around lens I could use natively on the z6. I am very happy with it. Pictures are great, and the focusing speed is very fast, noticeably better than with an adapted AF-S lens. A bargain!

Nice and light. balances well on Z6, Z7. I like this better than the 24-70S turn to activate design. it's ready to shoot at anytime. I really like the versatility of the range in an all in one vacation solution

An excellent all-purpose “walk-about” lens for the Nikon Z family. I use it on the new Z 6 II and it really performs well. Fast, accurate focus, and supreme sharpness.

As described in all the product reviews this is a do it all lens with an outstanding image. What I like it goes from wide angle to medium telephoto. Result you can shoot indoors or get great range outside. The pictures are perfect and its a lot lighter to carry around. So on a trip its the only lens you need to carry so lighten your load.

Nikon's Z series lenses are sharp and crisp like no other lenses I have used. This is a great lens because it's going from 24mm, which is a great wide-angle size, to a nice telephoto. It's not extremely fast but you will be happy with the results.
