- Konstantin & Becky took the Nikkor Z 24-120mm f/4 S out and about for a field test, comparing it with the 24-70mm f/4 S as well as using it standalone to see how it holds up as a day-to-day travel companion.
So the real question is: can Kon be convinced that the 24-120mm f/4 is a lens worth shooting with...?
Watch on to find out!
Becky used:
Z 6II
Kon used:
Z 9

Great walk around. I bought the 24-120 f/4 S. It is my first z mount lens and in comparison with my Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 G2 lens, the Nikon is better in almost every aspect. Fantastic autofocus, quiet and quick with minimal focus breathing. Sharper than Tammy throughout the focal range at all apertures. Better bokeh creating bigger and cleaner bokeh balls at f/4 and f/5.6. The Nikon is even sharper than my Nikon 85 f/1.8 G when closing the aperture to f/10 and beyond. At wider apertures stands extremely good against the 85er. Nikon has created a diamond!
I’ve had mine just for a day and I can say it’s already my favorite Z lens. I think it’s at least as good as the 24-70 f2.8 and it’s more versatile and much cheaper.
In conclusion, the Z9 has different color science than the Z6ii. It looks like Leica M8 colors now.
Honestly, you really don't need the 24-70 f2.8 unless you're obsessed with shallow depth of field. This new 24-120 excels all around in my book
You definitely do need the 2.8 if your a wedding photographer
Thanks for the test...this is likely going to be my next lens. $1K extra for the 2.8 24-70 is a tough pill to swallow and losing that extra 50mm is a negative.
I really am enjoying the bouncing back and forth between Kon and Becky's commentary. It's really enjoyable and easy to keep watching.
Perfect timing! I ordered my copy of the 24-120 in October and it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Some of my best photos were taken with the F-mount version on my D750, which I got rid of about a year and a half ago. I never dreamed it would take this long to get a replacement. It will probably live on my Z6. I really enjoy your videos. (I watch from Illinois.)
I'm really enjoying the reviews and live-streams you ladies and gentlemen are producing while I wait for my new gear! In fact, so much so that even after I get it, I'll still be tuning in to see your bright, upbeat faces and in-depth conversations on various topics. Your work is much appreciated and I encourage all viewers to hit that Thumbs-Up button and Subscribe. Bravo!
I'm sure it's just down to the white balance but on the statue photos the Z6 has Much better colour. the z9 has a horrible green tint
I used to like the F mount 24-120F4 but it was more a 24-70 that could in a pinch go longer. I have been very pleased with this at all focal lengths. There are huge overlaps, but still use cases when the 24-70 F4 24-200 or 24-70 2.8 make more sense. I like they included the function button on the 24-120
what this does prove is that you both , no matter which lens you use , can find the best shots . That`s the art of photography right there . Finding the shot !! Fabulous pictures from you both with both lenses . Loved this session . as always .
I own one and love it 👌
6:24, a lens “too long” does not and will never exist ☺️
Is it really worth to buy 24-120, if I am having 24-70 f4. Or 70 -180 would be better choice.
This channel is exclusive to Nikon stuffs? Why?
I have the 24-200 and while I realize the image quality is not quite what I could get with 24-120 I think the extra range makes it a better walk-around all-purpose lens. For best quality I do have the 24-70 f2.8 and the 105mm MC prime.
Why does Konstantin press the shutter many times instead of using continuous shooting? Am I missing something?
I love this lens
Guys why does the color vary so much ?
Between stills? Different photographers, different WB preferences, different editing styles. When we open up a lab for bench testing everything should look the same from one shot to the next :)
Got my 24-120 f4 S back in December with my Z9 and use it professionally for fashion and beauty. For the odd time I need f2.8 in the studio I bought the Z 28-75. In practical terms both are excellent.
same question another . Why is the color so different between the two lenses/cameras? Camera settings the same ??
Different photographers, usually the same settigs but different WB preferences and different editing styles. What Becky finds to be a pleasing-looking shot can be very different to what Konstantin finds a pleasing-looking shot. When we open up a lab for bench testing everything should look the same from one shot to the next :)
Beautiful photography I am drooling, I am saving up for the Z8 with the 24-120mm f/4
It's a fantastic lens
I was fortunate to receive my 24-120 f4 S lens at the beginning of July after a wait of a few months from Grays of Westminster.
This lens is outstanding and a great walk about lens also ideal for landscapes. I can't wait for the better weather to get out and shoot with this on my Z7. Thank you Becky and Kon for your reviews and your weekly Friday afternoon videos. Is there a 70-200 f4 S lens on the Nikon lens road map ir would complement the 14-30 f4S lens and the 24-120 f4S duo.
will buy one for video :)
I wish I could find a good real world walk around comparison with the 24-200 Z mount f/4-f6.3. The 24-200 is my most used lens, often with my Z7 set to DX crop mode.
I have both now. The image quality of the 24-120 way exceeds the one of the 24-200 and is also much sharper. I’ll be selling the 24-200.
@@todorradoulov9343 Is it really? I 'm thinking of getting the 24-120 too but it's just not available.
@Philip Soon I would say the image quality of 24-120 is on par with 24-70 f2.8. The 24-200 does the job decently, but sometimes I would be underwhelmed by it. I ordered my 24-120 as soon as it was released and just got it a couple of days ago - really happy with it.
Fair enough. Thanks👌🙂
Getting mine tomorrow…
Ordered mine 6 months ago still no sign of it coming into stock
So in optical performance which is best 24-70 f4 or 24-120 ?
I compared them very closely before selling my 24-70. They are essentially the same. I found the 24-70 very slightly better in the corners at 24mm, but the 24-120 was very slightly better over the whole frame at 70mm. The 24-120 is remarkably consistent over the whole zoom range.
Thank you for the good work. Very informative
👍🏾🙏🏾
How is the lens for shooting dynamic sports?
It doesn't have built-in VR, so there are better options
what is that red round thing hanging from your camera strap attachment mount
Hi Mark! It's a Peak Design anchor so that we can attach different straps to our cameras.
@@graysofwestminster Hmmmm, never heard of that....:)
I have z6 2 and 24 70 f4, this lens is very small and very vert sharp. I didint believe at first.because this is kit lens. But than I wonder 24 120 and extra button . I solf 24 70 f4 and buy 24 120 f4. 24 120 f4 very good . Bokeh is amazing. And sharp. Extra button is good. I like it.
