AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR

My lens came as a kit with my D750. After a couple of weeks I took the kit back and purchased the D750 body only. The lens came with a lot of distortion. I would photograph what appeared to be straight lines come out in the picture bent severely on both ends. If you use lightroom it is an easy fix, but this means you would have to post process every picture you take with it. Taking photos should be fun and you shouldn´t have to spend hours performing post processing. The kit made the lens about $700 a reasonable price for the quality, but at $1300 I think it might be a little high given what you get. For those who might have thought that my lens was defective, i did exchange the kit and same results.

This lens lives on my D800E. I have 18 FX lenses, and it´s my favorite.

I bought Nikon D610 FX in March 2015 together with 50mm f1.4G,..50mm 1.4 is a good standard lens however because of short in my finance, I decide to swap 50mm f1.4G with medium range lens zoom so I could take a shot and use the zoom,..took me few weeks decided to swap standard lens with AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm F.4G.... I would like to recommend for the beginner of photographers who short on finance.. 24-120mm F4G is light on weight compare with mid range zoom,sharp lens and nice bokeh..

I have been using this lens for the last two years with my D700 mostly for landscape or family photos. it turned out to be an excellent all purpose lens. It has good autofocus speed and is flawless across the frame at all focal lengths and apertures. Additionally, it exhibits wonderful contrast and surprisingly pleasing bokeh. Very happy with the purchase, great job Nikon.

I just switched from Canon 24-105L. You will not be sorry. This lens is just outstanding. I have done many types of settings including flash, indoor, outdoor, portrait, etc. It´s just fantastic.

After visiting numerous National Parks in the United States, this lens has the best combination of focal lengths and optical quality for my landscape needs. Below is a photo taken with this lens and a Nikon D800 camera body at 6:18 AM in Death Valley National Park in California. The shutter speed is 1/4 of a second (on a tripod), the aperture is f/8, the focal length is 24mm, the ISO is 100, the exposure mode is manual, and the white balance is auto.

While this may not be the sharpest lens in Nikon´s bag. it has performed wonderfully as the standard lens on my D300 and D800, and it will reclaim that position on my D810 following the theft of my D800. I have numerous prime lenses (50mm 1.8G; 85mm 1.8G; 105mm micro 2.8G among them), but for pure flexibility and the confidence of knowing I´ll get the perfect shot regardless of the distance, this is my lens. My last one was stolen along with my D800, and the new one has a firmer ´´turn feel´´ (not a technical term), and I´m hoping it remains so to prevent the lens involuntarily lengthening as it hangs on my shoulder.

Objectif très versatile, permet de bien tirer partie de la puissance da ma D800 et du« full frame». L´ouverture constante à f/4 est très bonne. C´est une nette amelioration de l´ancien modèle.
Un pas de plus vers un objectif de qualité à un prix raisonnable. On pourrait souhaiter une version 2,8 mais à quel prix et surtout à quel poid. La masse de la camera et de l´objectif sont à considerer quand on se promene des heures avec l´,appareil. Aucun regret de mon achat. Parfait pour un seul objectif en voyage. Permet de passer du grand angulaire au téléphoto moyen. On peut saisir des paysages, des objets et des personnes.

This is the second 24-120 zoom that I have purchased. The first version I bought did not have VR and I used it extensively when travelling and taking landscapes, etc, on my Nikon film cameras (FM2N, F100, F5, F6´s). The lens was sharp and very robustly made. When I bought a D3 I upgraded to the 24-120mm f/4 ED VR version. This newer lens is just as sharp and has the added advantage of VR, which is particularly useful when photographing subjects in low light without a tripod, etc. The lens is robustly constructed and is pretty compact. I often use the lens on my D3 when I do not want to carry a bag full of lenses around. The 24mm focal length is really good for landscapes, etc., whilst the top end of 120mm is good for portraits, etc. All in all a really versatile lens.
