bitegadgets Nikon Introduces High-Perfor- mance Compact S-Line Zoom Lens A world-leading provider of imaging products and services, Nikon has introduced its latest zoom lens in the versatile NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S. It has a lightweight build, advanced optics and a broad zoom range, perfect for any scenario. From ancient ar- chitecture and lively street photography to detailed portraits and sweeping landscapes, the NIKKOR Z 24 allows users to capture all angles without having to change lens. Nikon’s innovative optics technology - from consumer to professional cameras, lenses to system accessories - is pow- ered by over 100 years of experience. The brand is globally recognised for setting new standards in design and perfor- mance, with their revolutionary Z series mirrorless cameras and NIKKOR Z lenses representing a new dimension of op- tical performance. The brand is committed to leading imaging culture and ena- bles some of the world’s best visual artists to reach their cre- ative potential through visual storytelling. Its award-winning equipment empowers photographers and videographers to realise their creative vision at the highest level. As a trust- ed visionary partner, it unites all levels of content creators through its engaged community, unrivalled technical exper- tise, and access to educational resources, via initiatives such as The Nikon School. Their high-performance walk-around travel lens boasts a constant maximum aperture of f/4 and is built for controlled, creative shooting that delivers stunning detail. It provides smooth operability and a multi-focusing system that ensures incredibly fast and accurate autofocusing across the entire zoom range. It combines high-performance with a light- weight and compact body, making the NIKKOR Z 24 ‘travel ready’ for those shooting stills and videos alike. It also offers superb video performance with virtually no fo- cus breathing, ensuring consistent framing when refocusing during recording. If the user is transitioning from interiors to exteriors, or between darker and lighter scenes, the sta- ble exposure control enables a natural shift in brightness for beautiful looking footage. The lens’ ARNEO Coat and Nano Crystal Coat combat ghosting and flare caused by incidental light coming from any direction, to ensure crystal clear shots. Other features include a wide-to-mid-telephoto zoom lens with superior optics, outstanding imagery across the exten- sive zoom range, consistent zoom across video and stills, and a short minimum focusing distance and 0.39 maximum re- production ratio. It also has customisable controls, featuring a dedicated function button and control ring to assign vari- ous functions based on user’s preferences, a lightweight and compact body, making it easily portable. The NIKKOR Z 24 camera lens is available online and in stores. www.nikon.co.uk/en_GB
