Nikon has expanded its Z-mount lineup with the introduction of the NIKKOR Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1, a lightweight and versatile standard zoom designed for photographers and hybrid shooters who value flexibility and portability.
Covering a broad focal range from wide-angle to medium telephoto, this lens is well suited for landscapes, portraits, street photography, travel and general everyday use.

Weighing approximately 350 g and measuring just over four inches in length, the 24-105mm f/4-7.1 delivers full-frame coverage in a compact form factor.
Its variable maximum aperture helps keep size and weight to a minimum while still providing dependable performance across a wide range of shooting situations.
The optical design consists of 12 elements arranged in 10 groups, including one extra-low dispersion element and two aspherical elements.
This construction helps reduce chromatic aberrations and distortion while maintaining sharpness throughout the zoom range.
A seven-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to smooth and natural-looking background blur, especially at closer focusing distances.

Close-up capability is one of the lens’s standout features. It can focus as close as 0.2 m at the wide end and 0.28 m at 105mm, achieving a maximum reproduction ratio of up to 0.5× in the mid-to-telephoto range.
This makes it useful for capturing detail shots, food photography and creative compositions without switching to a dedicated macro lens.
Autofocus is powered by a stepping motor that delivers fast, accurate and quiet performance, making the lens suitable for both still photography and video recording.
A customizable control ring allows users to assign common settings such as focus, aperture, ISO or exposure compensation for intuitive, on-the-fly adjustments.
The lens also supports Nikon’s Hi-Res Zoom feature on compatible Z-series cameras, effectively extending the zoom range up to an equivalent of 210mm while maintaining high image quality.

This adds extra flexibility for situations where additional reach is needed without increasing the physical size of the lens.
Built with dust- and drip-resistant sealing, the NIKKOR Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 is designed to handle real-world shooting conditions.
Whether used as a primary walkaround lens or paired with a compact Z-mount camera body, it offers a balanced combination of versatility, portability and modern Nikon mirrorless features for a wide range of creators.
