A Review of the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR Lens

Superzoom lenses offer the ultimate level of convenience, replacing several other lenses and allowing a photographer to travel lighter and work faster. For Nikon mirrorless shooters, there is the 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR lens, and this excellent video review takes a look at the sort of image quality and performance you can expect from the lens in real-world use.

Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this great video review takes a look at the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR lens. Despite being rather affordable at just a sahde under $900, the 24-200mm f/4-6.3 still comes with a nice range of useful features, including:

  • Two aspherical elements and one aspherical ED element for reduced spherical aberrations and distortion and improved sharpness
  • Two extra-low dispersion elements for reduced chromatic aberrations and improved clarity
  • ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats for fewer flares, less ghosting, and deeper contrast
  • Super Integrated Coating for improved color accuracy
  • Stepping motor for fast and quiet autofocus suitable for both photos and video
  • Full-time manual focus override
  • Vibration Reduction offering up to five stops of compensation
  • Customizable Control Ring 
  • Electromagnetic aperture mechanism for greater exposure stability during fast continuous bursts
  • Rounded seven-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh
  • Dust- and moisture-resistant construction
