The Nikon Z 24–105mm f/4–7.1 might be one of the most overlooked lenses in the Z system — and that’s exactly why it’s interesting.
In this video, I take a real-world look at the Nikon Z 24–105 f/4–7.1 and explain why it quietly becomes the lens you keep reaching for, even if you own “better” glass. This isn’t a lab test or a spec-sheet breakdown. It’s about how this lens actually behaves when you go out and shoot.

We talk about the lightweight build, the very budget-friendly design choices (including the missing lens hood), the variable aperture, and how it compares to the much more expensive 24–120 f/4. I also cover sharpness, autofocus performance, and the surprisingly useful close-focus ability — including its roughly 1:2 macro capability.
If you’re a Nikon Z shooter trying to decide between convenience and premium build, or you’re looking for a single do-everything lens you’ll actually carry, this video will help you decide whether the 24–105 f/4–7.1 makes sense for the way you shoot.
If this video helps, let me know in the comments what lens actually lives on your camera most of the time — and which Nikon Z body you’re using.
