Nikon NIKKOR Z 24mm f/1.8 S Lens

Introducing the NIKKOR Z 24mm f/1.8 S, an exceptional wide-angle lens designed by Nikon for versatile shooting scenarios such as landscape, architecture, and reportage. This prime lens boasts an optimized optical design, incorporating a combination of aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements that deliver sharp, well-corrected imagery with remarkable clarity. To further enhance image quality, Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings are utilized to effectively suppress flare and ghosting, resulting in enhanced color fidelity and heightened contrast.

The lens’s optical excellence is complemented by a multi-focus system powered by two synchronized stepping motors, which enables swift, precise, and virtually silent autofocus performance. Full-time manual focus override ensures seamless control for both still photography and video applications. Additionally, a programmable control ring offers intuitive adjustment of various camera and exposure settings, adding to the lens’s versatility.

Designed specifically for FX-format Z-mount mirrorless cameras, this prime wide-angle lens excels in challenging lighting conditions with its bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, granting increased control over depth of field. With the integration of one extra-low dispersion element, color fringing and chromatic aberrations are significantly minimized, resulting in improved clarity and color rendering. Four aspherical elements work together to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion, resulting in sharp imagery with precise rendering.

To minimize unwanted reflections and enhance image quality, a Nano Crystal Coat, in conjunction with a Super Integrated Coating, is applied to the lens elements. This combination effectively reduces surface and internal reflections, leading to a noticeable reduction in lens flare and ghosting.

The multi-focus system employs two separate AF drive units, synchronized for swift and accurate autofocus performance. The stepping motors contribute to the lens’s smooth and quiet autofocus operation, making it ideal for both still photography and videography. The internal focusing design ensures that only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, maintaining the lens’s overall length and promoting faster focusing speeds.

The programmable control ring, which is set to adjust manual focus by default, can be customized to control aperture or exposure compensation, providing added flexibility and convenience. The specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism enhances exposure control stability, particularly advantageous for fast continuous shooting rates. Furthermore, the lens barrel is built to be dust- and moisture-resistant, ensuring reliable performance even in inclement conditions.
