From CameraLabs Review:
Nikon’s Z 24-120mm f4 S is a worthy and well featured successor to the venerable AF-S 24-120mm f4G VR which the new lens surpasses in every aspect. It produces very sharp images with almost no field-curvature or colour aberrations and can confidently be used wide open and in challenging contra-light situations. Its Bokeh is relatively nice for a focal ratio of f4.0 and the vibration reduction of the camera provides a respectable 4 stops of stabilization. So the Z 24-120mm f4 S is the perfect choice for those wanting more reach than the standard 24-70mm lens and value a constant f4.0 focal ratio. Highly Recommended.
Good points:
- Very good resolution and contrast up to 50mm focal length.
- Almost no longitudinal colour aberrations or purple fringing.
- Only little vignetting and no distortions – through lens-profile.
- Fast and reliable AF operation and low focus breathing.
- Very little field-curvature up to 50mm focal length.
- Relatively nice Bokeh.
- Image stabilization in camera good for 4 stops.
- Weather sealing, focus + multi function ring, function button.
Bad points:
- Not parfocal.
- No image stabilization on Z fc or Z 50 cameras.
