Nikon Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1

9 Apr 2026 · Lens Review

If you're buying into Nikon Z full-frame on a budget, this 24-105mm will likely land in a kit box soon — meaning you'll get it for almost nothing extra over body price. That changes the calculus entirely: the soft-at-wide-open corners and missing hood sting a lot less when you're not paying $549 standalone. It's not a lens you'd buy for serious work, but as a walk-around travel zoom it earns its place in the bag.

Kit lenses get dismissed before they're tested. This one shouldn't be. The Nikon Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 lands in a useful gap: the 24-50mm is too short for general work, the 24-120mm f/4 is excellent but costs real money, and the 24-200mm options push past what a new shooter should spend. If you're setting up a student, a second body, or a lightweight travel kit on a Z-mount body, this review says stop ignoring this lens.

Cameralabs reviews the Nikon Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1, the lighter, cheaper end of Nikon's Z-mount zoom range. Variable aperture tops out at f/7.1 at the long end, so it trades light-gathering for compact size and price.

Nikon's own Q1 financials support it: forecasts revised down 50,000 units each on cameras and lenses for the financial year. Two lenses announced in 2026 so far, no new bodies.
