  | sent on 14 Gennaio 2026 Pros: Weight, decent optical quality, extension lock, lightweight, focal range Cons: Micro contrast to be reviewed, low brightness, color rendering, resolution on 45mpx Opinion: An honest, light, no-frills lens that costs what it delivers, considering both the focal range and the brightness. It's not an "S" lens, so it doesn't have all the treatments of its older sisters, and not even additional buttons and dials. A little unresolving on the 45mpx of the various Z7/8, it always remains a little soft. If the use you make of it is mainly web and social, there is no problem. Probably on less dense sensors this aspect improves and makes the lens much more interesting. Almost certainly due to the lack of treatments the micro contrast is lacking compared to 24-70/4 and 24-120/4, which in the end I preferred. However, this lens is very interesting for the focal range: starting from 24 is a significant plus. Better than competitors even on other brands (in January 2026), you go there serenely on vacation and it doesn't disappoint you. |
  | sent on 13 Gennaio 2026 Pros: Excellent all-rounder lens, very sharp at all focal lengths and apertures, fast and accurate AF, acceptable size and weight Cons: I would have liked a few more mm on the telephoto side, but that's okay. Others sincerely not arrived! Opinion: Excellent lens for travel, combined, for shooting in low light, with the 28 f/2.8 you travel relatively light and all in a small bag. Extremely sharp, it is not really a featherweight but all in all very acceptable, in my use as an amateur travel photographer I find it extremely comfortable and very useful, 95% of the photos I take with him. The only note is the dust that easily settles on the front filter which is quite large, so before shooting it is better to give them a cleaning. If taken as a kit it is really a bargain. Highly recommend! |
  | sent on 12 Settembre 2023 Pros: Long focal extinction, light weight, good construction. Cons: For the moment none Opinion: I switched to mirroless recently, I sold the D850 because I had the opportunity to buy a Z 7 first version for just over € 1000 from one who did not use it, but let's go back to this lens, true many will say that it is a dark lens but this can be said in the use of a reflex but with a mirroless that gives you the preview of the shot that dark no longer exists. Another thing I noticed is both the depth of field and the blurred because with a minimum of experience you can get really suggestive photos, coming from the SLR world for more than 50 years I must admit that there is a significant step forward with these new Z, I also have the 24-120 f4 but I do not have that feeling I have with this z 24-200. |
 | sent on 17 Luglio 2023 Pros: Compact, lightweight, versatile, sharp on all focal lengths, impeccable VR, fast and silent AF, tropicalized Cons: Low-light Opinion: I have owned this lens for about 4 months and it is difficult to separate it from my nikon Z5, especially during family trips. The overall image quality is very good at all focal lengths, the autofocus is fast and quiet. The VR masterfully supports the stabilized sensor of the Nikon Z full-frame and allowed me to shoot at 200mm at 1/15 of a second, a useful feature to compensate for the low brightness of the lens especially at longer focal lengths (f / 6.3). The construction of the barrel is in my opinion excellent and the tropicalization (average) helps in case of rain, photos in humid environments or in the presence of splashing water. Not being an S-series lens I would not use it in extreme weather situations. Ideal for travel, compact and versatile, it has all the focal lengths to take 90 percent of the photos in this category. Sharp enough, it is easily transported and does not weigh an exaggeration. In short, an excellent all-rounder useful especially when you want to travel light and for non-specialist uses. Rating 9.5 |
 | sent on 24 Aprile 2023 Pros: Focal range, image quality, construction Cons: Dimensions and weight Opinion: It's the travel lens. The focal range is really comfortable, especially when you are in places where it is not advisable to change optics, see mountain excursions. The image quality is really very good, obviously it is not at top levels, but do not think that it differs much, and above all it has the quality of being quite homogeneous to any aperture and focal length, in short: the shot always takes it home. In addition, the fact of being stabilized in some situations tends to keep the ISO even lower than a 24-70 F4 S. In short, if you are looking for a travel superzoom for Nikon Z, this lens will not disappoint you. The only flaw, if you can say so because in short, there was also to be expected given the range and IQ, are the size and weight. But don't think it's so prohibitive, in fact, probably for the type of lens it's not even big. Well done Nikon. |
 | sent on 06 Aprile 2023 Pros: Versatility, good quality already t.a, very good contrast for lens type Cons: brightness Opinion: It is a lens that never disappoints, it is a 'must have' for those who need to save on the weight of the backpack, or for reportage around the world. It shows a quality towards 200mm already very good at full aperture over medium distances, to the point that in portraits it even becomes 'merciless' because of its high resolution. Its limited brightness, already just past 24mm, often forces you to work in auto ISO to be sure to bring home a shot that does not suffer from blur and this could be its real handicap, because if optically it does not regret neither the 24-70 f4 S nor the 14-30 f4 S (with the latter constitutes a winning pair for reportage), on the other hand, going up with the iso on the Z7 after 16,000, on the darker shadows the image visibly deteriorates and it is not possible to obtain qualitatively valid recoveries even with the most updated software (a note: I never use the tripod, not even in the nocturnal, clear that, having it, there is no problem even with a lens that closes at f6.3, because its yield to T.A. is excellent). I put him to the test during a trip to the Philippines, where, in spite of myself and without my knowledge, I was involved in a local wedding. So I was forced to employ this 24-200 in a role that is absolutely not his. Well... At the end of the day, working strictly in ambient light, low brightness and high ISO, what emerges is that its only and true limit is the bo-keh, which unfortunately is anything but creamy ... dreamy... plastic... and all other relevant adjectives. It is an f6 -about- and unfortunately the blur is always clearly visible, however you can still get portraits with subjects sufficiently isolated from the background. But to return to the wedding: of the more than 600 shots I took with this lens, of those discarded very few are attributable to its limits and even less to defects that it just does not seem to have, because I did not perceive optical aberrations or flare problems in the backlight, and also demonstrates a remarkable uniformity of yield over the entire frame to all apertures. Using it outdoors and in reportage, it is perfectly at ease and always allows technically perfect shots. In my opinion, however, it is a lens optimized at medium distances, because at infinity and 200mm it is not at its best, but always and in any case with a good definition and an always appreciable contrast. As a rating I assigned it a 9 but according to the current rating on this site it deserves a 9.2-9.3 in essence: a really good all-rounder lens. |
 | sent on 09 Marzo 2023 Pros: Sharpness,versatility.all-rounder,focal zoom very wide Cons: High price Opinion: For wrong purchase, for haste and inexperience, I acquired new at the end of December 2022 from Foto Dotti the z 24/200 f4 / 6,3.con garanzia Nital.Usato 2:/3 times. I sell, to buy more, to 800 euros with original box, all new: , with invoice. Who is interested can contact me :Antonio ant.castellano@libero.it I can also send photos on request |
 | sent on 13 Gennaio 2023 Pros: Size, weight, quality, price. Cons: Brightness, backlight. Opinion: After the heavy and bulky f 2.8 on Nikon Z I switched to 24-200 and I rediscovered the pleasure of going around without the bulk and weight of the "traditional" kit. Certainly in extreme conditions (backlight, low light, etc.) there are some limits but everything is amply rewarded by the great versatility that allows you to capture a much wider range of events. Versatility is the strong point of this lens and in addition it is also sharp and with good color rendering. The dimensions and weight are absolutely adequate and the tropicalization is very appreciable. With the Z6 or Z7 it fits very well in a small bag and I recommend a nice pancake to complete (28 and / or 40 mm) for photos in low light. |
 | sent on 24 Dicembre 2022 Pros: sharpness Cons: minimum aperture Opinion: I had the opportunity to try it improperly (portrait in ambient light) and I must say that it surprised me for sharpness (all the photos taken at 6.3, then at t.a.), and 'practically a 24/70 a little' longer from which it inherited the excellent sharpness. Despite my concerns '(I always had focal lengths or zoom 2.8) I bought it as an all-rounder to use with my z6. I recommend it to those who should make a non-specialist use, it will give you excellent satisfaction and you will not have to change lens while you are around (dirtying the sensor). Look for it used (new costs too much like all Z lenses) and you won't regret it. Brava Nikon!!! vote 8 |
 | sent on 23 Novembre 2022 Pros: size, weight, rational price, adequate image quality Cons: brightness but it could not be otherwise Opinion: I have some Z-series lenses with which I already covered the entire focal range from 14 to 200. I took this 24-200 for the size and because in particular when I photograph in situations of 'sociality', outdoors and with beautiful days, the qualitative result is certainly good, especially considering the fact that most people will look at the images on the mobile phone or at best on the monitor. I also find it a lens suitable for mountain excursions, both for a matter of weight and size and practicality because it allows you to use the most expensive optics only when actually necessary and because it does not require frequent lens changes in environments perhaps rich in pollen that then remain adhered to the sensor ;-). Both in the 24-70 and 70-200 spectrum, obviously the difference with the other lenses can be seen but if the lighting conditions are good, the quality is still adequate. In this regard, it must be remembered that it is a structurally very complex lens and that if it were excellent at one focal length, it would certainly be very bad at another. Instead, the images it provides are on average more good than sufficient and this overall balance is one of its strengths. If it were brighter... It would no longer be him because it would be much heavier and more expensive. |
 | sent on 05 Maggio 2022 Pros: Versatility, weight, all-rounder Cons: too little light, and therefore also the cost Opinion: It can be fine as a handyman in situations with MOOOOLTA brightness. Already zooming a little comes soon to f6 so GOODBYE indoor photographs in conditions of medium brightness, unless you have a Z9 that responds very well to very high ISO. It can replace the supplied 24-70 f4, for a trip, given its versatility, minimum footprint and very low weight, but forget about doing serious things in dim environments such as indoor situations or sunsets. The mouth is 67mm so smaller than the 24-70 f4 (which has a 72mm) and therefore with the same zoom, iso times and aperture the photo comes out a darker hair, but you can compensate in post production. In essence? 750 euros are worth them, but no more. I do not return it because of the practicality and the minimum encumbrance, I am a hobbyist and I might as well carry less ballast with you. At the moment so I will carry around this, and the unsurpassed Z 14-24 f2.8 (which is worth gold for how much it weighs) for landscaping, while for indoor events I leave it at home. |

| sent on 04 Ottobre 2021 Pros: Extremely versatile, relatively portable, perfect for amateurs Cons: not very bright but not a big deal Opinion: Let's immediately mark the fact that it is not one of the lenses of the PRO Nikon Z line. Having said that, to cover the focal range of this lens with the PRO, it takes 2, the 24-70 and the 70-200 that - if both pro - come to cost over 5K. For users like me who use the forographic machine for leisure and hobby, I would say that it is ideal and all in all also preferable to the 24 -70 f4. Despite the fateful f 4-6.3, I can reassure everyone that bokeh can be done and the risk of not being able to take a picture for low light is really minimal, especially if the camera body is a Z6/Z7 versions I or II, these machines in fact have a very good ISO seal. Just to give an example I set maximum ISO to 400 and it is really rare to have to raise them. In short, unless you have professional needs, I would recommend it without any doubt. |
 | sent on 09 Giugno 2021 Pros: portableity, wide range of focal points Cons: brightness, plastic construction Opinion: Good goal, great all-rounder but, on Z7 with the ring adapt the 24/120 and also the 28/300 they still have something to say. Those who have one of the last two goals will consider whether it is worth buying. Certainly transportability; machine-lens make it a must. From this point of view, reducing the size of the equipment with the advent of the Z series brings us back to a past in which there were, for example the Pentax MX. |
 | sent on 19 Maggio 2021 Pros: Excursion, weight and size, stabilization and sharpness by type of optics Cons: Lack of af/mf button on optics Opinion: I used the nikon 24-120 f4 for years in combination with SLRs and purchased this lens to replace that focal range. What to say, the 24-200 beats the old zoom in every respect: sharpness, distortion, size and reaches 200mm with still excellent quality. Very satisfied with the purchase. Only negative note is the lack of the Af/Mf switch. Construction more plastic than 14-30 but it is not an S, it is there! |
 | sent on 17 Febbraio 2021 Pros: Focal range - compactness - weight - sharpness - no distortion at 24 mm. Cons: Low brightness is known, but it is good to know that it is already at 50mm (f/5.6). Opinion: Higher than expected, and to think that I was very doubtful for an "all-rounder" with a similar range of focal points. From a comparison (coarse) with Nikon 70-200 f/4 at 200mm and f/11 I did not detect appreciable differences. These emerge - measuredly - always at 200mm and f/6.3, after cutting out a lot and zooming in significantly. Before we unbalance the high price - however not cheap - it is essential to prove it. The only possible drawback is..... not to take it off almost ever, at the expense of more suitable optics in certain circumstances. Always keep in your bag. Grade 9.7 (rounded to 10). |
 | sent on 08 Dicembre 2020 Pros: Focal excursion, stabilization, practicality, sharpness, versatility Cons: Cost Opinion: I switched to this native z-series zoom to lighten my kit and have a single lens for my excursions, with no heavier adaptors and telephoto lenses to replace. Taking photos of landscape often with tripods I do not need F 2.8 lenses and this lens is the right compromise for its versatility, excellent results for colors and sharpness I am very satisfied. |
 | sent on 11 Novembre 2020 Pros: Weight, size, sharpness Cons: just the price Opinion: I never thought I would buy such a "dark" lens, but with the Z6's excellent ISO resistance and dual lens and sensor stabilization, I decided to take the risk in the name of sometimes indispensable practicality. The lens is well built and with an impression of solidity (despite being made of plastic), the zoom ring flows well and the protrusion is compensated by an excellent weight balance, facing the attachment. Although the size is not negligible (about 2 cm shorter than a Nikon 24-70G 2.8, with minimal zoom) go around with the Z6 and this lens does not fatigue even after walking km, both in the mountains and in the plains. The focal excursion allows you to capture practically anything without having to disassemble lens and miss precious moments, the focus is fast and the general ergonomics makes it a perfect ally when you decide to travel lean. The quality is there, the colors are natural and the sharpness is noticeable almost on the entire frame. Of course there are no nanocrystals and it can not be used for astrophotography or portraits with a magical gradient... But these are not the uses for which it was produced. In conclusion, if you want to go out without strapless backpacks and with the intention of taking home always and in any case shots, I suggest buying them at all. Of course, if I wanted to take night photos or long exposures, I would support it with a fixed lens (today there are excellent and low weight) The only drawback is the price, in my opinion excessive. |

 | sent on 12 Ottobre 2020 Pros: Compactness, sharpness, practicality, AF speed Cons: Cost Opinion: Honestly I would have hoped to pay it "less" but the price difference giving inside the 24-70S of the kit was not so exaggerated but buy it again at almost 1,000 euros probably I would never have done it. However, he is forgiven for using it with a generous focal excursion and even a sharpness that even open that surprised me because I would have expected to have to close it at least to F8 to 200 mm to get a decent sharpness and instead to F6.3 to 200 mm. As a construction it is beautiful solid, it transmits great sensations and goes well with my Z6. I was looking for something compact and easily transportable that wouldn't make me regret not taking "pro" optics and I think this lens was the best choice I could make. It must also be said that the sensor of the Z6 is really a very large sensor and this is a nice hand. I only mark a "light" 24 mm vignette, more present than the little brother 24-70 F4, but nothing so serious and incorrigible. |

| sent on 27 Agosto 2020 Pros: Lightness, practicality, sharpness, handyman. Cons: It's not a 2.8. Opinion: The purchase of this lens was born from the fact that I have problems with my hands so I have difficulty keeping heavy goals for even short periods. I had booked the z 70-200 2.8 which is not yet on the market, the price of which you all know, but also its weight, we are at about 1 kilo and 440 grams that with the Z7 you exceed 2 kg. I saw the photos posted by Panizza made with the 24 200 both on this site and on social media, and I was impressed by its sharpness, dynamic range and resolution. I also delved into the videos on the net and the very positive reviews. I made an assessment on what were my needs and needs and the choice prevailed when buying this lens at the price of 960 euros. I am satisfied and aware, and I do not intend to make inappropriate comparisons, we understand each other. But from the first shots I made I was very impressed and satisfied with the results confirming the judgments that I had read and viewed with a further data that having a weight of 550 grams in the hand you do not feel. I know very well that it is a 4-6.3, but I assure you that it makes its beautiful figure in terms of results and I recommend it not only as a handyman. |
