24–200 Nikon Nikkor Z 24-200mm F4-6.3 VR

The Nikon Nikkor Z 24-200mm F4-6.3 VR is a zoom lens for Nikon Z (Full frame) that covers 24-200 mm at f/4-6.3, weighs 570 g and focuses as close as 0.5 m at 24 mm, 0.7 m at 200 mm. Next to 8 other full frame Nikon Z zoom lenses in its focal range, it suits you if you carry it all day or travel light, you want more reach at the long end, or your body has no in-body stabilization or you shoot handheld video. If you want to focus closer at the wide end, every other one that does better on close focus gives up reach and stabilization.

  • Read from the lens name: each maker marks the sensor size a lens covers (Sony FE/E, Canon RF/RF-S, Nikon DX, Tamron Di III/Di III-A, Sigma DG/DC); every Fujifilm X lens is APS-C and every Micro Four Thirds lens is Four Thirds.
  • Prime or zoom, read from the focal length in the lens name.

  8. Lead for a pick1

Our pick or our take adds up the importance of each real difference, with these importances and thresholds: a gap smaller than its row's threshold is too close to call and counts as the same. They are our editorial choice, not a measurement, the same on every page, and they never read prices, sales or who sells it.
