Starting off 2026 on a strong note, Nikon has unveiled their latest lens for the Z system. The Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 is a flexible, carry-everywhere zoom designed with convenience in mind. At just 12.4 oz, this is one of the lightest zooms of its caliber in Nikons current lineup.
The 24-105mm zoom range has long been a staple of the industry, offering focal lengths needed to capture everything from stunning landscapes to tight portraits. Nikon’s offering is no exception but brings even more to the table with mouthwatering close-up abilities of up to half size (0.5x) magnification when extended to 70-105mm.
Keeping with Z tradition, the 24-105mm f/4-7.1 lens features a customizable control ring, which can be programmed to adjust settings such as aperture, ISO, shutter speed, and more. It can also serve as a manual focus dial for smooth, silent adjustments. The lens also features weather sealing, offering protection from the elements.
Speaking of protection from the elements: The lens can be paired with the optional HB-93B lens hood, a variation of the hood included with the 24-200mm lens. This not only keeps sun glare from hitting the front element but prevents debris and droplets from reaching it as well. A must have for any outdoor shooters out there.
Nikon has done it again, delivering a well-rounded zoom for the photo enthusiast. For full-frame shooters looking to upgrade their kit lens, or those looking for a lighter travel option, the Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 is the perfect weight-saving choice.
