Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR lens real-life review by Luka Esenko (website | photo spots sharing website):

This is a practical, real-life Nikon Z 24-200mm lens review. You will not find technical performance information here but a real-life use by a long time professional photographer. This review focuses on three main case scenarios where this lens comes handy, as a travel / walk-around lens, a hiking trip where minimal gear is desired, and an all-around lens for family time.

I tested this lens with both of my Nikon Z cameras, Z6 and Z7. You will find the original size, unedited JPEG files later on in this article. The photos here were not taken for the purpose of a test but rather real-life shots, from my photo outings, hikes, and family days. In other words – the lens was used for the intended purpose, not for theoretical tests.

Why have I purchased Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR lens?

The main reason is its size and weight. I wanted a light and versatile lens for the above-mentioned scenarios (travel, hiking, family). From the beginning, I knew that this lens is not gonna replace my other lenses but rather complement my setup. 24-200mm Nikon Z lens is also the first available native telephoto Z lens – this is very important for video use, where one needs silent, smooth focus and minimal focus breathing.
