The Nikkor Z 24mm f/1.8 S has pretty modest sounding specifications by today’s standards, but there’s nothing wrong with that. While some lens manufacturers have been bulking up their offerings and creating heavyweight f/1.4 optics and even faster glass, Nikon has stuck mostly to a more modest f/1.8 aperture rating for the prime lenses in its Z mount S-line stable.
