Nikon has announced the Nikkor Z 24mm f/1.8 S, a fast wide-angle lens for its full-frame mirrorless cameras. With advanced optics, strong close-up performance and extensive weather sealing, this full-frame lens is highly versatile.

The 24 mm f / 1.8 S is optimised for capturing everything from cityscapes to environmental portraits and is built to take advantage of Nikon's large Z mount, for the ultimate combination of fast, bright and sharp performance in almost all lighting conditions, says Nikon.

Equipped with Nikon's multi-focus system, the lens uses two autofocus motors that work together to achieve fast and accurate autofocus, even at the minimum focusing distance of 0.25 metres.

Features and specifications of the lens include 12 elements in 10 groups, a maximum magnification of 0.15x, a rounded aperture with 9 blades for "beautifully circular bokeh", and a dust- and drip-resistant magnesium alloy design.

It also features a Nano Crystal Coat to counter ghosting and flares, four aspherical elements alongside an extra-low dispersion (ED) element to counter aberration, a 72 mm filter thread and a weight of 450 grams.

For video recording, the lens has virtually silent autofocus, thanks to the stepping motors, reduced focus breathing and a customisable control ring.

Overview of key features

• F/1.8 NIKKOR Z wide-angle prime lens: This 24 mm lens is extremely sharp from edge to edge and performs excellently in low light. It captures every part of a scene with lifelike clarity;


• S-Line: A new dimension in optical design. Nikon's anti-reflective Nano Crystal Coat reduces ghosting and flare for a purer image. Smooth, silent multi-focus system;


• Strong close-up performance: With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.25 m, you have full control over the image, from close-up to infinity. Close-up sharpness is much better than that of comparable lenses with this focal length;


• Weather sealing: Every moving part of the lens barrel is sealed to protect against dust and water droplets;


• Excellent for video: Thanks to the almost silent AF, the quietest moments can be captured in all their glory. The control ring can be used for silent aperture control or exposure compensation, and as a focus ring when shooting with manual focus.
