Pros: Versatility, optical performance, weight, focal range, S line.....

Cons: Nothing for me

Opinion: First of all, I would like to say that making a comparison with fixed lenses I find it meaningless, if you buy a zoom you have to compare it to another lens in its category, I made the choice based on the younger brother 24/70 F 4 S of which I was already satisfied but I wanted to add those 50 mm that allow me to leave other lenses at home and travel lighter, mission accomplished. Traded in taking advantage of the cash back I didn't even suffer that much from the cost. Before making the purchase I was able to do comparison tests thanks to the shopkeeper who allowed me to shoot freely with the two lenses mentioned, in my opinion the differences are few and minimal, the 24/120 I find it more "gripable" excellent the choice of buttons that I find comfortable to set quick functions, the stabilizer is true but from Z6 onwards the stabilized sensor compensates abundantly. In my shots I found a better definition in the night by the 24/120 perhaps because of some higher quality lens compared to the 24/70 but nothing exaggerated, for everything else they both behave well, I use it on Nikon Z8 and sometimes I even go to DX with a remarkable quality despite the cropped sensor. Definitely recommended.

Pros: Focal range, quality returned to all focal lengths/apertures, build quality, customizable ring.

Cons: Vignetting present at full opening.

Opinion: An excellent all-rounder, honestly I would never have thought to see such image quality returned by a 5x zoom: great sharpness in the center and in the midframe, it drops a little at the edges but still remaining in the field of excellence. And this at all focal lengths and all apertures! I made a direct comparison with the 50 f/1.8 S photographing the same scene with both lenses (the 24-120 clearly set to 50) at f/4: I didn't use laboratory techniques, but at sight the results are perfectly superimposable, only at the edges you can perceive the best quality of the fixed. I was very amazed by this zoom performance. I have not yet detected chromatic aberrations, instead I have noticed a rather evident presence of vignetting at f/4, more or less at all focal lengths; easily solvable in post anyway. Coupled with a fixed light (I chose the 50 f/1.8 S) it constitutes a compact, effective and very high quality kit; of course it has its cost, but for me (especially if you find it used) the money you spend is worth it all. Highly recommended!

Pros: Compactness, sharpness, widely exploitable focal length range

Cons: Let's say nothing, even the price is absolutely adequate

Opinion: Premise, and it applies to all lenses of the Z series: the lens in question has nothing to do with the old 24-120 of the G series. The new Z 24-120 is an excellent lens in terms of robustness, compactness and waterproofing. And above all for optical performance, it dramatically outclasses the corresponding G series and exhibits a disarming sharpness at all apertures, in practice the only criticism that can be attributed to it concerns a slight vignetting when using it at 24mm, however nothing dramatic. For me it represents the ideal travel lens, when I go around I want to be light and above all I want to avoid being a Sherpa and a watchdog to heavy photographic backpacks. So Z8, Z9 and large optical calibers stay at home and I embark with only the Zf and the 24-120, a minimal but very efficient, deadly shooting set, able to solve any situation. So yes, if I really had to give a synthetic definition I would say that this is the ideal travel lens, couple it with a Zf or a Z6 III, activate the automatic ISO up to 6400 and you are ready to shoot anything ranging from the sunny landscape to the dim interior of a basilica. In short, the apotheosis of generalist photography, but of the highest quality!

Pros: Sharpness, travel, constant aperture, sense of robustness

Cons: Nothing relevant

Opinion: Wonderful lens, with dense sensors allows you to take full advantage of its sharpness which especially on the telephoto side is very pronounced. For travel, it can be the only lens to make sure you don't miss anything without exaggerating by carrying a thousand lenses. The performance is also excellent in terms of microcontrast and three-dimensionality. Clearly it is not a 2.8 with all the limitations of the case but for the versatility it gives and the stabilization that there is it is not a problem, on the contrary, otherwise exaggerated dimensions are avoided. Highly recommended, so comfortable that you never want to take it out of the car

Pros: Light... it does everything right.... Perfect for travel

Cons: For me, it doesn't have any... but if I have to be meticulous... Maybe it's not tropicalized and the nikon bag minimalist.... but I keep it in my backpack. and at home in the cabinet with the salts... So it doesn't matter... For me

Opinion: Hello bought new at 900€ so also the price I would say is not bad.... It's perfect for travelling and I pair it with either the 40....or the 32 7artisan..... and I would say perfect match I'm not a professional and I'm not looking for perfection... so with this lens I cover a lot of focal lengths and if I need I go to DX and get almost to 200 without having too many weights to carry around The triad f2.8 nikon z has other prices... other resolution... other weights and dimensions... that in travels the last 2 voices... they are such foundations... As I read in other opinions here on the site.... This does it all... and well.... and for traveling and top. I would like to thank all the participants in the forum who help the newcomers to orient themselves in the right choice of the ideal equipment for their needs.... Rated 10
