Nikon India unveils lightweight NIKKOR zoom lens for full-frame cameras: Check pricing and availability

Nikon India has officially introduced the NIKKOR Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1, a compact and lightweight standard zoom lens crafted for full-frame mirrorless cameras. This innovative lens is designed for a multitude of photographic scenarios, ranging from sweeping landscapes to medium-telephoto portraits. Weighing in at just around 350 grams, the NIKKOR Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 stands out for its portability, making it an ideal companion for travel enthusiasts and those engaged in extended shooting sessions. With a zoom ratio of 4.4x, this lens offers a focal length spanning from 24mm to 105mm, empowering photographers to capture a wide array of subjects, including distant vistas, close-up tabletop shots, and urban street photography, all without the hassle of changing lenses. The lens is not only versatile for still photography but also excels in video applications. It features a minimum focus distance of 0.2m at its wide-angle setting and 0.28m at the telephoto end, achieving a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.5x. This allows for stunning macro-style images with a pleasing blur effect in both the foreground and background, emphasizing the main subject. For videographers, the inclusion of a stepping motor (STM) facilitates quick, silent, and smooth autofocus, while addressing focus breathing, ensuring a consistent angle of view during video recordings. Additionally, a customizable control ring enables users to set specific functions like aperture or exposure compensation for a more intuitive shooting experience. Durability is another key feature of the NIKKOR Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1, as it boasts a dust- and drip-resistant design, equipped with seals that protect the internal components from contaminants. The lens is expected to hit the shelves in India starting mid-January 2026, with a retail price of ₹49,995 at authorized Nikon retailers. Moreover, it will also be available as part of a kit with the Nikon Z5II mirrorless camera, providing an enticing option for those looking to expand their photography gear.
