I ruminated for months before deciding to sell my precious 24-70f/2.8 to finance this lens.

You see, I have a need and a passion for the 24-120 focal length, and Nikon´s FX offering was the 24-120 f/3.5-5.6...a lens which I owned for a time and found it wanting.

So, I researched the web, tried the 24-120f/4 lens in a local store on my D3s and took the photos home and picked them apart.

After a week of ownership I can say that I made the right decision...for ME. That extra 50mm on the long end has made my 24-70 just a pleasant memory.

This lens is SHARP...you´ll read about softness and vignetting in the corners wide open, and barrel distortion at 24mm. Yes, it´s true...but these flaws can be corrected in software easily. Color and contrast easily rivals my 24-70.

With a camera like the D3s, the f/4 constant aperture is no issue. I shoot at night as I did with the 24-70 f/2.8.

Overall, I believe this lens is a winner. Nikon put the good stuff where it needs to be to become a good compromise on quality AND affordability.

If money is no object, get BOTH the 24-70 AND this 24-120! LOL!!!

Had I been able to keep my 24-70 and get the 24-120 I probably would have. But after a week of using this lens for the type of shooting I do, I have a feeling that the fine 24-70f/2.8 would have gotten a lot of shelf time...not the place for a superb lens like that to be.

This lens came highly recommended. I am not disappointed. My first day of shooting showed me that the improvements made over the older 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6 version were truly worth the wait. Blew me away!

The lens works great for my type of photography. The zoom range from 20-124 works great for most scenes and the quality is excellent. Please review attached photos.

I fought with myself for several months over what zoom lens to upgrade to. I have to say that I have no regrets!!

This lens almost never comes off my camera. It is an excellent walk around lens and despite the max F/4, the VR makes up for it in low light. I was amazed at how crisp the results were even down to 20-30th of a second shutter speed!!!

It is also nicely compact (compared to the other Pro lenses that Nikon has produced). It is solid but not too heavy, and I was pleased to find out that there was no zoom creep like my brothers 18-200.

The only problem that I have found is that you can´t use the pop-up flash on your camera with this lens, it is just too large and casts a huge shadow when fully extended. But I have the SB-700 so this is not a problem for me.

This lens covers 90% of my needs and what it doesn´t cover my legacy lenses do. It is an excellent combination of speed, weight, focal length, and build.

The lens Nikon was missing, I have never really seriously considered moving to the DARKSIDE (Canon) but they did make a 24-105 F4 that left me longing for the equivalent in a Nikon product. Well not only have they meet Canon in this range they have doubled down and surpassed them with this lens. It is my favorite lens and I am considering sell my 24-70 2.8. The 24-120 is sharp and the colors are out of this world. Do buy it.

Bought this lens as a backup for my 24-70mm f.28 and love it; very sharp at both ends and nice having the extra mm on the telephoto end. A great lens for event photography which I do a lot of. Focuses as well as my 24-70mm in low light using
the SB800 or SB900 infra-red assist. Thanks Nikon
for upgrading this lens!

I´ve been using this lens for about 6 months and have been very impressed with the quality of the photo and the sturdiness of the lens construction.
It´s a great multi purpose lens that I seldom have to remove from the camera and the AF is lightning fast.

I pre-ordered this before it was shipping. I was nervous, because the old version of this lens was pretty bad, but I needed this range. Nikon came through, though. It is a great lens, as long as you don´t mind pretty strong distortion and vignetting in the corners. It corrects nicely in Lightroom. It is very sharp and I like the constant f/4. I now shoot a higher percentage of images with this lens than any other. It is a great mid focal length lens. A perfect ´´walkabout´´ lens for general photography. On one recent trip where I went light this was the only lens I took. The only negative I have is that is is difficult to focus manually, especially with gloves on. I dislike that about this whole product family.
