Nikon NIKKOR Z 24mm f/1.8 S Overview

Presenting a wide field of view and an optimized design, the NIKKOR Z 24mm f/1.8 S from Nikon is a versatile wide-angle lens well-suited to a range of subjects, including landscape, architecture, and reportage. Featuring an advanced optical layout, this prime lens incorporates a series of aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements, which produce sharp, well-corrected imagery with a high degree of clarity. Also, both Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings are used to suppress flare and ghosting for greater color fidelity and higher contrast.

Complementing the optical design, a multi-focus system, which employs two stepping motors, helps to realize impressively fast, accurate, and quiet focus performance, along with full-time manual focus override, to suit both stills and video needs. Additionally, a programmable control ring can be set for intuitive adjustment over a variety of camera and exposure settings.

Prime wide-angle lens is designed for FX-format Z-mount mirrorless cameras.
Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field.
One extra-low dispersion element greatly reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and color rendering.
Four aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to realize sharp imagery with accurate rendering.
A Nano Crystal Coat, along with a Super Integrated Coating, has been applied to lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting.
Multi-focus system incorporates two separate AF drive units, which are synchronized, to deliver especially fast and accurate focusing performance. This system uses stepping motors, which offer impressively smooth and quiet autofocus qualities, that are well-suited to both stills and video applications. Full-time manual focus override is also possible and an internal focusing design is used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.
Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus, but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.
Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.
Dust- and moisture-resistant lens barrel benefits the lens' use in inclement conditions.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 24mm f/1.8 S Reviews

Pleasantly suprised

By Robert
Rated 4 out of 5

I read reviews that this lens was not as good as the other f/1.8 z lenses, but when I compare it to the 50 & 85 f/1.8 z lenses that I own I don't see much difference in quality. I'm not an authority, but I have been a Nikon user for over 30 years and I find that all of the z prime lenses that I own are the best I have ever used. I use them on a Z6ii and I can't wait for Nikon to make a mirrorless camera, that isn't over $5,000, that is of the same quality as these lenses.

Awesome lens

Better lens than anything that came from f-mount in 24mm range. I bought 20mm at first, twice, but returned both times it as it was too large for going small and light. Nikkor z 24mm is much lighter and smaller package. Now I also need new filter system for this lens. Previously I used a Zeiss 28mm f2 zf2 with D800 from day one. And then upgrading to Z7 because of smaller and lighter body. And now I finally upgraded to a lighter and smaller lens also. Did I say I need new filters? I also have Z 50mm 1.8 and Z 85 1.8 lenses but 24 mm remains my main use lens for about 90% of the shots.

Excellent wide-angle prime

I really enjoy the 24-mm field of view. It is pleasing to the eye in my opinion, and it is still very practical. I am always struggling to decide if I prefer 24mm or 35mm for a wider field of view over 50mm. But anyway, this lens is fantastic. It is incredibly sharp, and although I use this to shoot stills, the autofocus is fast and accurate. There is distortion on the outer areas of the frame, which is to be expected. I do not consider myself to be a pixel-peeper by any means, but I have noticed far less chromatic aberration, as compared to the 24mm f/2.8 Ai-S, which I was previously using.

Great for lowlight shooting.

The kit zoom with my Z6 II is really good but I wanted something for lowlight shooting. Lowlight at a wide angle is something I like to do at night. Lens is sharp and crisp. I'm very happy with it. It was packed well and shipped fast.

No lo sacarás de tu mirrorless

Mi decisión estaba entre elegir el 35mm y el 24mm. Creo que mi focal es esta y simplemente es el lente que más uso día a día. Es muy rápido al enfocar, el ángulo de visión y material de la construcción del lente es muy robusta. El lente es muy cómodo y el material es casi metálico.

My favorite lens!

Fabulous in every way -- especially the silent, smooth and accurate focusing (coupled with the Nikon Z6) for video shooting.

When image quality tops the list...

By Craig

I wanted this lens primarily for landscape and astrophotography. I realized pretty quickly that it is also highly effective for other applications, including interesting portraits and street shots. The sharpness, contrast, and color rendering are all fantastic. The autofocus (paired with the Z7) is excellent even when shooting at dawn or dusk. The build-quality is certainly sufficient, but is not quite as impressive as the image quality. But, it feels solid, lightweight, and has an easy to manipulate focus ring. If you're not familiar, it may take a bit of time to get use to the electronic focus, but after a few days it's no problem at all. This will be my go-to lens for long-exposure landscape and Milky Way shots. So glad I invested in it.

Super Sharp

Since there is no focus indicator on the lens how do you know when you're at infinity when using manual focus?
Asked by: Matt
There will be a focus scale that appears on the LCD of Nikon Z cameras, so it would be easy to see if the NIKKOR Z 24mm f/1.8 S Lens is focused to infinity.
