Review VerdictKit zoom lenses are always a compromise. They are always slow and the build quality is simple. However, this doesn't mean that they are bad. And the Nikkor Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 isn't bad either. It may not offer an exciting optical performance but it does the job - especially on lower-megapixel cameras which is where you'll find it anyway. It is (mostly) quite sharp and autocorrection is hiding some of the issues that we've seen in raw files. Mechanically, it's both simple as well as complex. It's an all-plastic lens body with an extending inner lens tube. The complex part is the retractable zoom mechanism which is both a curse - because you have to unlock the lens first - and a blessing - because it's a tiny lens in transport mode. The AF is quite fast and near noiseless. It may not feature an optical image stabilizer but the IBIS in Nikon cameras should be more than sufficient here anyway. So yes, the Nikkor Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 is a budget lens but it's actually fairly decent although the new Nikkor Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 is probably the more attractive option for a few bucks more.

AI-assisted summary — verify against linked sourcesWhere can this lens be adapted?
The Nikon Z mount has a flange distance of 16 mm. A plain adapter fits a camera whose flange distance is at least 1.46 mm shorter. How lens adapters work
- Native lenses set the aperture, and often the focus, electronically. On a plain adapter they do not work. Use an electronic adapter made for this pair; for many pairs nobody makes one. Fully manual lenses are the exception.
- Nikon Z DX lenses cover APS-C only.
