Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 Reviews
Great IQ
I can not get over the picture quality coming from this little guy. If you can live with the aperture and focal range, you will not be disappointed. From 24 to 50mm, it equals the IQ of my 24-70, and 24-120, with out any noticeable space or weight gain in my kitbag. When most of the day is planned for wide or telephoto, you can not go wrong if you add this little guy in your bag, for the unexpected.
It is what it is.
You can use this solid lens on a Z50 or a Z fc as a 36 to 75 zoom, where the interior of the large image circle performs quite well on dx compared to the 16-50 pancake lens. You won't have to worry about fuzzy corners with the crop sensor. Other pros include small size, relatively light, & not terribly expensive. The flip side: 2X zoom range seems low & the lens does not let in much light. But, you can still make good pictures with it; I liked the color and sharpness.
Works well
It works well
Great all purpose lens
Turns my Z6 II into a lightweight all purpose snapshot camera easy to carry for family events.
An okay lens
Didn't have the money to get the lens I wanted. I had to upgrade my camera and my lenses don't fit the new camera without the attachment. So I settled for this lens. So far it works good for studio work and outdoors. Idk how it will do for concerts that I shoot for a magazine. Guess I will soon see.
It's tolerable but...
First, the Z 24-50mm is the lightest Z lens without a doubt. That's why I ordered it. With the UV filter that B&H throws it, it weights 7.3 oz without both lens caps on my scale. The combined weight of my Z6 II and the lens is at 2 lb, which is the lightest weight I'll ever get for my Z6 II setup. Is this good or bad? It really depends on your use. If you use Z6II for Vlog, this lens can be a great asset since you can carry 2 lb rig much more easily than a 3 or 4 lb rig. I tried it with a Gorilla tripod, which is great. For me, I ordered it for travel light, particularly for street photography, hopefully in a less ostentatious fashion. Traveling light, yes. But, it's not the lens for grabbing less attention, because the lens is bit long for street photography once it's out of its garage. People had been asked me a number of times whether or not I was taking pictures of them. Perhaps my choice of camera and lens is not suitable for street photography, my own fault. Just like the F-mount DX 18-55mm kit lens, this FX 24-50mm also produces sharp images with nice contrast and color. The AF speed is as good as any other Z lens as long as you have good night. In low light, my Z6 II updated with the latest firmware, the lens struggles with AF (AF-S Single Point) quite considerably. At wide open, the corners are a bit soft with heavy vignette, which is expected. For me, I normally shoot between f/8 and f/11 for street photography, so that's a problem. For the pricing, it's the most affordable Z lens, but I still think $400 is bit too much for such a lens. Perhaps I'd keep it if it was a $200 or $250 lens.
A useful lens.
I bought a Z5 for snapshots at parties and for walkabouts. When I get serious, I use my D850. With this in mind, my Z5 with this lens mounted fits nicely into a MegaGear case for an easily carried photography tool with all the focal length for taking photos at social gatherings. It is sharp and the focal length range is fine for this purpose.
Good but I returned it for better alternative
I bought this lens with a Nikon Z5 which I love. But it is quite slow at 50 mm and I discovered the 28-75 f2.8 lens and bought that as an alternative. It is more expensive and heavier but worth both for the constant f2.8.
