Nikon z 24 120mm f 4 s vs nikon z 24 70mm f 2 8 s ii?

Both are Nikon Z zooms for full frame, and both cover the standard range. The choice comes down to reach versus light.

The Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S goes further, to 120mm. It's the best all-round zoom on Nikon full frame in my view, and the one I'd pick for travel or a day when you want to carry only one lens. The f/4 aperture lets in less light and gives less background blur.

The Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II is lighter and quicker to focus than the first version. Its f/2.8 stays constant through the zoom, so it's the better choice for low light, portraits, or events where you need faster shutter speeds.

Neither lens has stabilisation, so keep that in mind for dim scenes.
