Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-50mm | Compact mid-range zoom lens for Z series mirrorless cameras | Nikon USA Model

When I was younger, I traveled with several roles of film, multiple lenses, and my SLR. That morphed into a DSLR and now a mirrorless Nikon camera. Some of my best photos were taken with my Contax G2 and a 50mm lens. My wife and I are traveling to Egypt for a Nile Cruise and my native lenses are fast 2.8 or faster so they are large - my favorite being the 24-70mm F2.8.On this trip I wanted to go a bit lighter so I pulled out an old Z6 and mounted this 24-50mm on the camera. I'm sure there will be times when I wish I had the faster lens, but this compact size and low cost will ensure I've got a great camera with me throughout the journey. It is about the size of my Contax!

I use this in my Photo Booth images are super clean and Crispy

Nikon has produced a very interesting lens for individuals looking for something simple that covers those focal lengths most used in everyday shooting. The images are good and the lens itself works very well. I didn't give it the top most rating because: 1) the apertures are slow, and, 2) it looks and feels pretty plasticky. Nikon could have made the lens less compact while still making it compact enough for every day use-that could have allowed the lens to have faster apertures, while making it more versatile to use. How to solve the plastic look? Don't know, but they could have looked to the past with dslr lenses for guidance.. A number of those lenses were compact and collapsed like this does, and, at the same time, looking, and feeling , "unplasticky". Overall, it's a good lens that I enjoy using, and recommend to to anyone looking to purchase it.

It's a really nice lens for portrait photos and some landscape, has a really good quality and the lens hood just stick to the body

Good price point for a light weight near zoom. Pancake design makes this a near perfect choice for travel where photography is secondary. Only minus is design requires extension before ready to shoot. Minor annoyance for candids and street photos. Big thumbs up+++!!!

While this Nikon lens feels cheap, it is. I am using it as a video lens and it is working great. The rating on image stabilization is silly. I don't see any indication of the lens having image stabilization. I use it on Z6ii and Z7ii cameras. They stabilize the image exceptionally well and I don't miss the lens stabilization.

I PURCHASED AN OPEN BOX LENS AT A COST MUCH LOWER THAN A NEW ONE. IT IS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED; IN PERFECT, LIKE NEW CONDITION. I HAVE TAKEN WELL OVER FIFTY PHOTOS WITH THIS LENS ALREADY AND IT WORK FLAWLESSLY, PRODUCES HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES WITH VERY GOOD COLOR RENDITION AND ZERO VIGNETTING. ITS A GREAT LENS THAT COVERS A GOOD RANGE AT 24 TO 50MM AND IS SMALL ENOUGH TO HAVE HANDY AT ALL TIMES.
