At under $300, the Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7 offers APS-C users a lot of versatility in a portable and very affordable package. What kind of performance and image quality can you expect from it in usage? This excellent video review takes a look at what you can expect from the lens in usage. 

Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this great video review takes a look at the Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7 lens. Despite its affordable price and remarkably small size, the 24mm f/1.7 comes with a nice range of features, including:

  • Aperture range: f/1.7-f/11
  • Minimum Focus Distance: 4.7" / 11.9 cm
  • Maximum Magnification: 0.19x
  • Optical Design: 9 Elements in 8 Groups
  • Diaphragm Blades: 7, Rounded
  • Filter Size: 46 mm (Front)
  • Dimensions (ø x L): 2.8 x 1.6" / 70 x 40 mm
  • Weight: 4.8 oz / 136 g
  • Dust- and drip-resistant design
  • Quiet autofocus optimized for video work 
  • Reduced focus breathing for improved video quality

With a 36mm full frame equivalent focal length, wide aperture, and very small size, the 24mm f/1.7 looks like a fantastic option for a wide range of needs and applications, including travel, weddings, portraits, landscapes, and more, all at a very reasonable price. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Frost.
