Nikon AF-S 24-120mm F/4G ED VR Lens

While the Nikon AF-S 24-120mm f/4G ED VR Lens is designed primarily for use with FX-format DSLR cameras, it’s equally at home on any DX-format D-SLR camera. As a standard 5.0x zoom on an FX-format camera body, it’s perfect for landscapes, portraits, and weddings – it’s an excellent choice as a take-along-everywhere lens. On a DX-format camera, the focal length gets a 1.5x bump that turns it into a formidable longer-range optic with the 35mm focal length equivalence of 36-180mm.

Sebastian ★★★★★

It barely leaves my camera now—the 5x zoom range covers everything from group shots to portraits without me swapping lenses, and the VR saves me on handheld evening walks. The f/4 constant aperture is a trade-off for the convenience, but for a travel zoom it's honestly hard to beat.

Charlotte ★★★★★

I’ve had this 24-120mm on my D750 for a month now and the VR actually lets me shoot sharp handheld shots at 1/15th of a second. The zoom range covers everything from group photos to decent portraits without swapping lenses.

Thomas ★★★★★

Finally got this lens for my FX body and the constant f/4 aperture is a game changer for consistent exposure while zooming. The VR really helps keep those handheld shots sharp at the 120mm end.
