Sharp throughout the zoom range. Sharp at widest apertures. This is my primary walk around and street photography lens. This lens along with my 35mm f1.8 prime are my primary landscape lenses. Highly recommended!!

Excellent performance throughout its zoom range. I use mine as an everyday walk-around lens on my D800 and it has yet to disappoint after years of use. Highly recommend!?

This lens was rated excellent + and it is that and more! It takes absolutely beautiful pictures and renders colors better than any other lens hat I own. I highly recommend using Adorama for your photography needs!

In my FX format photos, I wanted sharpness at all ranges of focus; from 24mm through 120mm. I shoot landscapes at minimum aperture such as f/22. The depth of field sharpness that this lens gives me is incomparable.

Very pleased with this lens. I bought it especially for a Christmas service I was to photograph. I needed a faster lens. I was not disappointed. I was able to photograph in the low light and the images were sharp and the lens responded quickly for action scenes. I am very happy with my purchase.

Very good travel lens that I use on my Nikon D750. It?s a little heavy but I knew that when I bought it. No complaints so far.

This lens came bundled with the Nikon D750 I bought years ago and I've used it with the D850 as my every-day go-to lens since that camera body came out. It's no kit lens. I've never looked for another general walking-around lens. It performs in every category. It isn't fast, of course, but its other qualities outweigh anything I might lose by having an f/4 lens as my utility lens.

This lens is sharp and has great contrast. The zoom range is extremely useful for many landscapes, group photos, kids sports and travel shots. I am now in mys 60's and no longer have steady hands. The VR function is a Godsend that allows me to continue taking almost all photos handheld. If you have steady hands, the VR will give you about 3 stops of sharpness over a non-VR lens. Regarding optical distortion: Yes, there is visible barrel distortion on the edges of the frame when observed through the viewfinder. However, the image written to the memory card has this distortion automatically corrected by the camera. I am using a D610 and have updated the camera with the latest firmware AND lens distortion data. Updates are provided for your camera free of charge on this web site. Go to Software>Firmware Updates. (Unfortunately, this will not work automatically if shooting film. However, scans can be post-processed to correct distortion.) As a digital system, this lens produces excellent images on FX sensor cameras. I highly recommend this lens for FX-type DLSR's.

Wonderful contrast with sharp images and accurate color. Silent wave motor provides fast autofocus. This is my "everyday" lens on a D610. This replaced a 28-120 f/4-5.6 that I carelessly chipped the rear element. Glad I had to replace that. This 24-120 f/4 is sharper and has instantly noticeable better contrast. Please check one of Adorama's big supporters, Ken Rockwell, for his review. Review photo of the Startech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA Cable on Adorama was taken with this lens.

The worst of all mid range f4 zooms I have ever used. Although it is the most useful range, which I prefer over the 24-105mm. However I have had Canon and Sony 24-105 f4's and they are miles ahead this lens. Only good for low Mpx cameras and amateurs.

When I bought my Nikon D90, I also bought the 24-120 f3.5 - f5.6 Lens to replace my F2 AS - 80-200 zoom and get into the digital age. I soon found that prints from my digital files were not up to the quality of the ones from my film camera setup. When I had saved enough $$ I bought a D7100 and the newer 24-120 f4 zoom. Night and day difference in quality of prints - surpassing my film camera by a lot. The fixed f4 on the newer lens was also a special benefit. The older lens was soon gifted to a grandchild. I use the 24-120 f4 on all my Nikons. FX and DX and with the adapter I even use it on my Nikon 1 J4. It is very easy to use, great feel, silk movement of the focusing and zoom rings. It is well constructed. As an example, When hiking up at Lake Louise in Alberta, I dropped my camera as I slipped in some muddy part of the steep trail. It landed on a rocky surface and broke the front filter. I was at a loss as this was the only lens I had brought with me. to my delight, after wiping the mud and debris off the lend, it functioned perfectly. I very carefully finished braking out the rest of the broken filter ( do not recommend this procedure to the faint of heart) and had a fully functional/camera/lens for the rest of the week. I especially like the wide focal range, The 24 mm wide angle of the range allows for artistic compositions and for situations when I am limited as to how far back i can get from my subject. I like the great depth-of-field that the wide angle end of the lens has when doing landscape shots allowing foreground inclusion. The mid range is great for photographing people, full length potrate and gives a realistic view of the scene with little or no sceen manipulation from wide/telephoto lens. Although the longer telephoto portion of this lens is great on an FX for head shots and other moderate telephoto scenes, the lens comes on great on a DX camera like my D7100with its 1.5 x multiplier. Great for making distortion free head shots and for compressing distances and providing a more shallow depth of field. My Nikon 1J4 with it's adapter and this lens at 120 has a 35 mm equivalent of a 324 mm telephoto with an f4 aperture and quick auto-focusing. It gets some questions when around professionals, but I like it. With the quick focusing and special type glass - it is capable of producing great images coupled with the great VR on Nikon Cameras. I seldom use apertures smaller that f8, as my cameras will not auto focus beyond f8 and my eyesight is not great with the lens/camera in manual focus mode. Also, beyond f11 you will encounter increasing refraction distortion. I like Nikon's use of the 77mm filter size as most lenses today will use that size and there is a multitude of types /functions available. The lens is very quiet when focusing with my microphone not picking up any noise from the focusing mechanism when making movies. Bottom line. I really like the range adn multiple uses of thes well made lens. For me it handles most situation I encounter with finesse. I highly recommend it. Cons: wish it was a bit smaller, but it's weight gives good balance to my cameras.

This lens is sharp throughout it’s focal range. I’ve used it for both portraits and landscapes.

This lens is a work horse. It has a nice range and it is great to have a consistent f aperture through the range. Not like some other lenses that aperture changes from wide open to telephone range.

Good for travel since the zoom range is big enough to cover normal shoots. And cheaper compared to f2.8 lens.

I have a 24-70 f/2.8 that I leave at home in preference for this 24-120mm f/4 lens on landscape trips. I've tried both on the same scene in and see no difference in quality. This lens is tack sharp, I don't need f/2.8 in the field and the extra 50mm of zoom gives me greater flexibility in composing. More than an everyday lens, this is my go to lens for landscaping. The perfect complement to my 14-24 and 80-400 for carrying in the field for landscapes.

For several years this lens has been my workhorse. I've had other professionals comment this is their favorite lens. It is great to have a lens like this when you don't know what you're walking into, don't know exactly which focal length to take with you to a project - this zoom creates great images.

Just purchase this lens to shot flight attendants inside a Boeing 737, incredible sharp from f4, the VR!! is very effective, since we were shooting at 1/8 of a second

I use it for news stories, conventions, meetings,affairs...It has a nice range and the lens is sharp and fast. So far, no negative statement.

Ever since I purchased my FX camera, I have been looking for a lens with this focal length and speed. I'm putting it through its paces and enjoying the experience. I own several specialty lenses, but I' m finding that this lens stays on the camera more than any of the others. I call this lens my go-to lens.

Robert Y.

2015-03-26T21:00:00

This is a great all around lens to carry on trips and nature walks with a fast f/4 will let you takes excellent quality photos. I have no regrets. The colour, contrast, focussing speed, and sharpness of the 24-120 f4 are all very impressive.

I wanted a mid zoom lens that was reasonably light, compact with good color and contrast and most of all SHARP to use on my Nikon D 610 (full frame). I found this lens to be SOFT in most lighting conditions, especially in bright, contrasty light. It is not compact nor is it particularly light weight. I could get over that if it was sharp. I took a lot of photographs in all different lighting conditions and at different settings hoping to salvage this purchase. Not going to happen. Although I often use prime lenses I also own and love the 70-200 f4. FYI- there is no comparison between these two lenses. This lens goes back ASAP.

Great for a walk around lens and range is perfect when just out for the day. Behaved very well with a flash. Heavy and on-line reviews did not any problem but they can be worked around.
