Nikon - AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR Standard Zoom Lens - Black

Overall, this is a decent lens for general purpose, all-around, walk-around lens. It does have its drawbacks, like being a slow lens (but this depends on use), and the distortion is noticeable, especially on a full-frame body. Not the sharpest either, but acceptable sharpness. Seems to be a little soft at the long telephoto end in terms of sharpness. Also vignetting is a problem too but can be fixed in Photoshop/post processing. I would still recommend this lens, despite its drawbacks, as it's a decent lens for general use. I wouldn't go using it as a portrait lens or anything, or for specific jobs where a fast lens or extreme sharpness/super fast AF is needed, but this fits the bill for most hobbyist (beginner/intermediate) shooters in my opinion. Lens feel sturdily built, but after a year of use, my focus ring has a little play in it (I use AF mainly, so the focus ring gets little use. Still works, just there is a little play in the focus ring).

I have a Nikon d800 and i was looking for a high quality mid-range zoom for travel. I considered the 24-70 f2.8, but the size, weight and limited range on that lens put me off. I went ahead and ordered the 24-120mm f4. I have no regrets. The colour, contrast, focussing speed, and sharpness of the 24-120 f4 are all very impressive.

I bought this after a thorough research of the lens in several online websites and I am NOT disappointed at all. The zoom range is very useful and is good for wide angle and mid-range telephoto. The only thing I don't like about this lens is its weight. If you are looking for light weight lens, this is not for you. I like the versatile range of zoom.

The previous effort by Nikon on this lens was a dud. This lens is noticeably better in all respect. I really like the zoom range of 24-120mm and although f/4 is not as good in low light as f/2.8 24-70mm, it's still a ideal compromise of reach, usability and low light capability. 4 1/2 stars

My wife doesn't know anything about photography but she knows this lens as my "people" lens. I use it for events and gatherings when I need a wider focal length than my 70-200mm f4 can provide. The autofocus and vibration reduction work very well. I can't point to any major faults, it just does everything well.

I wanted a lens I can use at anytime and after reading hundreds of reviews I went for it hoping it will work out. Well, let me tell you, it lens is quite awesome! Sharp, beautiful colors and the built in VR is effective. Construction is good as well.

Got this along with my D750 included in the kit. This is a awesome lens you can carry around for pretty much most of the tasks. The constant f4.0 does an excellent job from wide to zoom in for any light situation.

I have only taken a limited number of photos but it has produced great photos. I am using it on a Nikon D800. Excellent quality. Fast focus. Excellent mid priced lens.
