My thought is that it can be caused by the bad reputation of the older 24-120 f/3.5-5.6 VR. Back then when the EF 24-105 f/4 IS was the go to kit lens for many Canon DSLR buyers, Nikonians could not find one that was good enough for them. Hence, the Nikon 24-120 (old or new) is not on the top of their wish lists. On the other hand, the 24-120 f/4 can be a good choice for new Nikonians who are not influenced by its history. That is my experience since 2008, after I picked up the D3. Also, even I have the EF 24-105 f/4 IS (for my 5D series) as well, but rarely use it, but instead the lens trinity.

If you're a great photographer, this is a great lens. Some good photographers compensate skill for buying the fastest f/1.4 or f/1.2 lenses and that can help, I always recommend upgrading your lenses or just glass over camera. I've had the 24-70 f/2.8G and more recently the 24-70mm f/2.8EVR and I love both, but I ended up selling both. I literally sold the 24-70mm f/2.8E VR because it wouldn't fit in my bag, I know weird or stupid, but important to me. I'm a photojournalist shooting mostly sports and breaking news. I shoot with two Nikon D5's or a D5/D850 depending on what I need or won't based on lighting or conditions, etc. My main two most used lenses that are always in my bag are the 70-200mm f/2.8E VR FL and 500mm f/4E VR FL, with a TC-14E III for when I need or want more reach. So I have only enough room for one more lens in my ThinkTank Airport Accelerator backpack. The 24-70mm f/2.8E VR was an awesome lens and I wish I could have kept it, since I got a very sharp copy and was very impressed. But unfortunately I had to either take only my 70-200FL and the 24-70 VR and leave my 500FL at home or just take the 500mm and one of the zooms, leaving a huge gap in focal length! So I sold off my 24-70 VR, there was no way I was going to sell one of the telephoto lenses as I use and love those much. So I decided to buy one of these 24-120mm f/4 VR lenses and I was honestly surprised by it. I never thought I'd own one or would want one, but f/4 when paired with VR is fine and honestly I really like this lens, but more importantly it fits in my bag. So now I have 24mm-700mm covered, all in one bag, with two flagship sized bodies. This lens in the right hands can produce amazing images, period. It's affordable and it's colors are surprising good, just as good as the pro-grade f/2.8 lenses in my opinion. I won't use my copy much past 70mm, just because I have the epic 70-200mm f/2.8E FL lens, but I do love it at the wide to normal range!

Dude, back whenI was Nikon shooter I used 24-120 f/4 lens so much. Very sharp, and between 100-120mm close up you can actually get nice bokeh for a portrait. Wasn’t my first choice for portraits, but for an all around lens it was excellent.

nice review. would love to see how this lens does on a z6. feels like a better option than the 24 - 70 f/4. I have a 24 - 70 f/2.8, but strongly considering selling it. originally i saw it as the most flexible of all lenses, but the more i use it, the more i see it as the compromise of all lenses. the IQ is not as good as prime. In low light, i am probably switching to a prime anyway. The f2.8 might offer better depth of field than an f/4, but 120 f/4 will give the same bokeh as 70 f/2.3, and a more flattering perspective for portraits. Unless you are shooting events/portraits, I'm seeing this as a better option than 24 70 f2.8

Great video. I used to have this lens but got the Sigma 24-105 f4 and I personally found it to be sharper although it is a heavy beast! My usual walk around lens is the Nikon 24-85 lens, probably one of the sharpest mid range zooms out there although it has a variable aperture.

I shoot with a Nikon D750 and have done for a few years.

I recently bought a used 24-120mm f/4 G VR ED lens (for around £240) and I am blown away by its quality. I haven't had much opportunity to use it much, but, so far, I think it is one of the best value for money lenses that I have ever purchased, particularly when paired to my D750.

The Tamron is faster with 2.8 ...yet the Nikon has more reach with 120mm (including the 85mm and 105mm focal lengths which are favorable by many portraits photographers)...

Note that There are now a lot of z7 on second market due to z7ii… but with the last firmware 3.4 on z7 the upgrade to the z7ii is not mandatory at all.

I think camera companies are all doing great at making usable kit lenses these days. Canon's EOS R/RP both come with a 24-105 f4, even their full frame dslrs are coming with one, Nikon has a 24 - 105 f4 and the 24 - 120, Fuji has 18 - 55 f2.8, or the 16 - 80 f4...however, lots of people saying Fuji 18 - 55 2.8-4 is best...sure, it is, on a crop sensor camera. But it is also important to bear in mind that 2.8 on a crop sensor is equivalent to f4 on full frame, in terms of DoF. So you're technically not getting anything more than what you'd get with an f4 lens on FF, except maybe a stop of light at most, which considering that FF handles high ISO better anyway, is negligible. That being said, it is still the best first lens for a Fuji system imo though, great cost to quality ratio.

Thanks Evan great review. I don't own a zoom but I think on this camera it makes sense to buy.

Being 8 years in covering events, I've trade in my 24-70 to this lens with a big smile and a happy shoulder. HAHA Don't forget mentioning the extra space you have in your bag. 24-120 is all you need!

I bought this lens for 230€. It looks and works like new.

I am using the old AF 28-85 3,5-4,5 on my D750, which is a great standard zoom. Certainly, it has no vr, but I bought it for only 60,- and it is a great value for that money!

I have a Nikon d 7100 and just recently bought a 18-105 after reading quite a few comments on it. I know it is not a kit lens but from what I have seen from it so far it does pretty well. This looks like it will be my main go to lens for a while. I imagine you have used this lens so what is your take on it? Do you think it is the way to go for a walk around general lens

I use my kit lens for video as well. It's an older kit lens so it's as good as yours but it gets the job done.

Quick question I’m new to photography but if the lens says f/4-5.6G ED VR does that mean the lowest aperture I can go is 4 and the highest is 5.6 ? And what does G and ED mean
@charlielemley83194 жыл бұрын
No, it means the widest aperture gives you f/4 at the low end of the zoom range and f/5.6 at the high end. “G” is Nikon’s designation for relatively newer lenses that don’t have aperture control rings on the lens - aperture is controlled electronically through the camera (which is generally good as long as you’re using it on a relatively modern Nikon camera). ED means it has extra-low dispersion glass, which limits problems like chromatic aberration (color fringing around objects in high-contrast areas). So a Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6 g ed is a lens with electronic aperture control and extra-low dispersion glass that ranges from 55mm f/4 to 200mm f/5.6 if you leave it at max aperture as you zoom.

How come a $1100 constant aperture lens that produces great sharp pictures is considered a "kit" lens?

What you think about the 18-140mm? Or the 55-200mm?
@donnlowel2387 Жыл бұрын
I bought one of these it's a great lens, $250 pristine condition happy that I didn't spend thousands of dollars for 24-70. Would anyone care what lens I use, probably not. If one day this lens break on me I'll buy the same lens.

Probably a great time to shoot in NYC with a minimum of crowd traffic... but where do you find a place to eat or, uh, need some of that rarity (tp!)
