Possibly the single most versatile lens, the AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR from Nikon spans a useful wide-angle to short-telephoto range and features a constant f/4 maximum aperture for consistent performance throughout the zoom range. Three aspherical elements and two extra-low dispersion elements are used to greatly reduce spherical and chromatic aberrations in order to produce a high degree of sharpness and clarity. Also benefitting image quality, both a Nano Crystal Coat and a Super Integrated Coating have been applied to control flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy. Supporting the optics is VR II image stabilization, which compensates for camera shake to help realize sharp imagery when shooting handheld. A Silent Wave Motor is also used to provide fast and precise autofocus performance, along with full-time manual focus override.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR Reviews
A truly versatile, beautiful lens
This has been my go-to lens for years! I use it for most of my shoots, and it always works wonders! The glass is super crisp and clear, you get so much out of this lens! Here are some photos I've taken with it.
My most versatile lens!
I am impressed with the versatility of this lens; from landscapes to portraits and indoor events. I've had a great experience with it all. There's a bit of vignetting at it's widest point (nothing Photoshop can't fix) and it's on the heavier side, which is to be expected with this size lens and quality glass. Overall, I'm super happy with the results and will be keeping it in my professional kit for quite a while.
Excellent Zoom Lens!
I've been using this lens for almost nine years. Have shot thousands of RAW files with it, first on a D800 and the last year on a Z7. I've shot location and studio portraits with it, I've shot editorial location, and I've shot architecture and interiors with it, and been on very rough construction sites with it all day. I even shot a 'Gladiator Run' all afternoon in 100+ heat. I have shot fine art landscape with it. I work all my files in LR Classic and finish in PS. I'm attaching a shot from 2020 of pecan trees in the winter. Sharpness is MORE than excellent. The new 24-200 Z is supposed to be even better, when it's finally available.
Nikon Great !
one of the best lenses Nikon makes in a mid range zoom. great for portraits too. Love it with my new D850
Terrific all-purpose lens
Subjective assessment: Excellent for portraits, sports, sunsets, wildlife. Sharp, great color, and VR works great. An f/2.8 fixed zoom version would be a nice future upgrade. Not inexpensive, but a typically great Nikon value.
Great all-purpose lens
Second time I've purchased this lens, this time as a present. Images are fantastic, as expected for a NIKKOR lens, and rival those taken with my other Nikon tele/zoom and wide-angle/zoom lenses. This is a no-brainer walk-around lens.
Great 24/120 mm lens!!
This is my 2nd 24/120 mm lens. The first lens 24/120 mm 3.5 - 5.6 G. 72 mm was my first SLR lens which I had for over 16 years!! Unfortunately, there are no parts available to fix the vibrations it was having. So I brought the 24-120 mm 1.4 G ED 77mm lens. It is great, with 77 mm to let in more light. Ed in MI.
A great kit lens
This lens came with my D-810 when I bought it a couple of years ago, so I guess you could call it a kit lens. This is the most versatile lens I have in my bag, and there are a few lenses in there. I have used it for just about everything, weddings, location portraiture, landscapes, product and still life. This lens is rarely taken off my camera. I would be lost without it and if anything were to happen to it, I'd have another on order immediately. I highly recommend this lens.
