From CameraLabs Review:

Nikon’s Z 24-120mm f4 S is a worthy and well featured successor to the venerable AF-S 24-120mm f4G VR which the new lens surpasses in every aspect. It produces very sharp images with almost no field-curvature or colour aberrations and can confidently be used wide open and in challenging contra-light situations. Its Bokeh is relatively nice for a focal ratio of f4.0 and the vibration reduction of the camera provides a respectable 4 stops of stabilization. So the Z 24-120mm f4 S is the perfect choice for those wanting more reach than the standard 24-70mm lens and value a constant f4.0 focal ratio. Highly Recommended.

Good points:

• Very good resolution and contrast up to 50mm focal length.
• Almost no longitudinal colour aberrations or purple fringing.
• Only little vignetting and no distortions – through lens-profile.
• Fast and reliable AF operation and low focus breathing.
• Very little field-curvature up to 50mm focal length.
• Relatively nice Bokeh.
• Image stabilization in camera good for 4 stops.
• Weather sealing, focus + multi function ring, function button.

Bad points:

• Not parfocal.
• No image stabilization on Z fc or Z 50 cameras.
