NIKKOR Z 24-105MM F/4-7.1: a lightweight zoom for photo and video

An affordable, versatile and lightweight 4.4x zoom lens for everyday photo and video, it pairs perfectly with Nikon’s full-frame Z5II mirrorless camera and will be available as a kit lens option this Winter.

Featuring a broad 24-105mm wide-angle to medium-telephoto focal range,  the lens makes it easy to capture all types of scenes and subjects, from expansive landscapes, distant landmarks, food, friends, street snapshots, travel and more. Nikon says that “this highly versatile and compact lens is easy to carry all day for any excursion, with a weight of only 12.4 oz / 350 g. It features a minimum focus distance of just 7.9 in. / 0.2 m at the wide-angle end and 11 in. / 0.28 m at the telephoto end, allowing users to achieve attractively blurred backgrounds with close-up shooting for impressive rendering that highlights the primary subject.”

The new NIKKOR Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 zoom lens pairs perfectly with Nikon’s full-frame Z5II mirrorless camera and will be available as a kit lens option starting this winter. This convenient kit gives Z5II users an all-in-one package to explore creative boundaries and capture every memory or moment.

Nikon adds that “zoom capability can be expanded to the equivalent of a maximum 210mm range of focal lengths, without sacrificing resolution, using the Hi-Res Zoom feature of select Nikon cameras: Z9, Z8, Z6III, Z5II, ZDF, Z50II, or ZR. The angle of view is equivalent to that of the 36-315mm lens in FX/35mm [135] format when used with the Z50II (as of January 7, 2026). The company  also notes that “some features may not be accessible or may have limited functionality when using High-Res Zoom” so users should check for compatibility when using the option.
