Nikon Z System. The Nikon Z 24mm f/1.8 S was designed specifically for cameras in Nikon’s new full-frame Z-mount system. Z-mount lenses only work with Z-mount cameras, and Z-mount cameras are only compatible with Z-mount lenses.

Wide-Angle Prime. The 24mm focal length is a popular choice for a range of subjects. It’s often used for landscape photography, architectural photography and reportage.

High-Quality Optics. The Nikon 24mm f/1.8’s ten-group/twelve-element optical design features one extra-low dispersion element and four aspherical elements to promote sharpness and color rendering while limiting chromatic aberrations. Nikon has applied Nano Crystal and Super Integrated coatings to the elements to combat ghosting and lens flare, even when you’re working in bright or backlit conditions.

Fast Aperture. The f/1.8 aperture allows a high degree of subject/background isolation desired for portraiture. It also enables the lens to be very useful for low-light shooting. The nine rounded aperture blades contribute to smooth bokeh.

Stepping Motor Autofocus System. The stepping motors allow for fast, silent, and smooth operation. Pairing a speedy AF system with a continuous manual mechanism allows you to hit your focus with confidence, while the internal-focusing design means that the lens maintains its length during focusing.

Durable Build. This lens’s durable, moisture-resistant construction means you can use it in adverse conditions without worry. The exposed elements have a fluorine coating to protect them from debris and smearing. A programmable control ring lets you adjust manual focus, aperture, or exposure compensation.
