Nikon Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR

Nikon Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR – The Ultimate Travel Lens. The Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR is an extremely versatile superzoom lens for Nikon Z-mount cameras, covering virtually any shooting situation with a focal length range of 24-200mm (36-300mm equivalent in DX format) – from sweeping landscapes to distant details. Weighing only 570g and measuring 76.5 x 114mm (retracted), it is very small, handy, and lightweight, making it the perfect travel companion. Despite its compact design, it delivers very good image quality, making it ideal for photographers seeking flexibility without the bulk. Optical Performance and Versatility: The optical construction consists of 19 elements in 15 groups, including 2 ED glass elements, 1 aspherical ED element, and 2 aspherical lenses. Nikon's ARNEO and Fluorine coatings reduce flare, ghosting, and dust buildup, while ensuring sharp, high-contrast images with vibrant colors—from wide-angle to telephoto. While the variable aperture of f/4 to f/6.3 isn't the fastest, it's compensated for by the built-in Vibration Reduction (VR) system with up to 4.5 stops of compensation, enabling blur-free shooting even in low light or at maximum zoom. The minimum focusing distance varies from 50 cm (at 24 mm) to 70 cm (at 200 mm) with a maximum magnification of 0.28x – sufficient for impressive close-ups on the go. Practical for photo and video: The quiet stepping motor (STM) provides fast, precise autofocus that operates almost silently – ideal for video recording and discreet photography. Focus breathing and focus shift when zooming are minimized, ensuring smooth transitions when filming. The lens is dust- and splash-proof, so it remains reliable even in adverse weather conditions. The 67 mm filter diameter and the 7-blade aperture (f/4 to f/22) complete the practical features. Perfect for travel: With its 8.3x zoom range, this lens covers everything travel photographers need: wide-angle for architecture and landscapes, standard focal length for portraits, and telephoto for details such as animals or distant landmarks. A zoom lock switch secures it in the retracted position, allowing it to be stored compactly in any camera bag. It's an "always-on" lens that eliminates the need for lens changes, keeping you focused on the experience.
