You might have missed during these times Nikon’s new Z24-200f4-6.3<\/a> release. While I read about it, it didn’t like stick in my mind because I hadn’t thought about the possibilities. Then I saw that my dear friend Vincent Versace<\/a> got one and he’s a smart guy so I stopped and thought about it. Sharon and I had just gotten home from fly fishing with Sharon doing the photography. Right then and there, I contacted Bedford Camera<\/a> and the very delightful Z24-200f4-6.3<\/a> was soon in my hands. But your question should be, why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I needed an air-to-air lens for the Z6<\/a>. I need a 200mm that would close down to f\/32 or more (it goes to f\/39). I have the 70-200f4<\/a> for the D6<\/a> but had nothing for the Z6<\/a>. Next, I wanted a single lens to have on my shoulder when out with the 800mm for landscape work (24-200 is perfect). Next, I wanted a landscape lens for the Z7<\/a> to complement the Z14-30<\/a> & Z24-70f2.8<\/a> (again, 24-200 is perfect). We needed another greater than 70mm lens for shooting video with the Z bodies for the second camera. And finally, needed a longer lens than 105mm for Sharon for photographing fly fishing. While Z24-200f4-6.3<\/a> is the perfect answer, it wasn’t until Vinnie got it did it land on my radar as the very obvious answer to our needs. But is it a good lens?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve had the Z24-200f4-6.3<\/a> for just a week now and I am so delighted with it, its performance, and addition to the kit! It’s much more than a “good” lens. It is so small, so light and so sharp, I’m loving having it. I didn’t need a “fast” lens. I needed a really convenient lens that filled all these needs and didn’t break the budget. Being on today’s scale as an “inexpensive” purchase, it was truly a no-brainer. It’s gorgeous results and fun to use and easy to carry has made it the fun lens purchase on 2020 for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it the right lens for you? That’s truly the important question and one I don’t directly have the answer too for you. As you can see, it fits lots of holes in our photographic needs and with Sharon liking to shoot with it, it’s a slam dunk. I highly recommend that if you’re looking for this kind of range for a lens because of holes in your kit … like the perfect travel lens, check it out. I think it’s a very delightful Z24-200f4-6.3<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
