What We Like
+Extremely lightweight and compact at 350g, ideal for travel and all-day carry
+Versatile 24-105mm focal range with 0.5x macro capability for close-up shooting
+Fast, quiet STM autofocus suitable for both photography and video work
+Very affordable at $549.95, offering exceptional value for full-frame coverage
+Decent center sharpness with controlled vignetting and minimal flare
+Dust and drip-resistant design for weather protection
Worth Knowing
−Slow variable aperture (f/7.1 at telephoto end) limits low-light performance and bokeh capability
−No optical image stabilization; relies entirely on body-based IBIS (problematic on DX cameras)
−Plastic mount and construction feels less durable than professional-grade lenses
−Lens hood not included; optional HB-93B adds $35-36 to total cost

Read our notes on general
The Nikon Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 is a versatile 4.38x travel-zoom lens for Nikon Z-series full-frame mirrorless cameras. At an ultralight 12.4 oz (350 g), it offers good to very good optical properties and covers a versatile range from wide angle to moderate telephoto with its 4.4x zoom, fully weather sealed with very nice 1:1.9 magnification for close-ups, though its major limitation is the slow focal ratio when zooming in, which restricts low-light shooting capabilities and results in meagre Bokeh. The new lens is a very interesting all-round zoom lens and its very good price/performance ratio clearly earns it a recommendation.
