Product Overview

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 colour accuracy. Supporting the optics is VR II image stabilization, which compensates for camera shake to help realise 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.

Features:

Standard zoom is designed for FX-format F-mount cameras, however can also be used with DX models where it provides a 36-180mm equivalent focal length range.

Constant f/4 maximum aperture offers consistent performance throughout the zoom range.

Three aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to realise sharp imagery with accurate rendering.

Two extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and colour accuracy.

Both a Nano Crystal Coat and a Super Integrated Coating have been applied to individual elements to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and colour accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.

Silent Wave Motor affords quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. An internal focusing design is also used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.

VR II (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization helps to minimise the appearance of camera shake to benefit shooting handheld in difficult lighting conditions.

Rounded nine-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field techniques.

Key Features

FAQs

What makes the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR Lens suitable for various photography styles?

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR Lens is renowned for its versatility, making it ideal for a range of photography styles. Its focal length range of 24-120mm covers wide-angle to short-telephoto perspectives, making it suitable for landscapes, portraits, and event photography. The constant f/4 aperture ensures consistent exposure across the zoom range, allowing for creative control over depth of field and low-light performance.

How does the lens's image stabilization benefit handheld shooting?

The lens features VR II (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization, which significantly reduces the effects of camera shake when shooting handheld. This is particularly beneficial in low-light conditions or at slower shutter speeds, allowing you to capture sharper images without the need for a tripod. The technology compensates for minor movements, resulting in clearer photos and smoother video footage, enhancing overall image quality.

What types of photography can benefit from the lens's aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements?

The aspherical elements in the lens are designed to minimise spherical aberrations and distortion, while the extra-low dispersion elements effectively reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations. Together, these features greatly enhance image sharpness and clarity, making this lens particularly beneficial for capturing high-resolution images in architectural, landscape, and portrait photography where detail is paramount.

Can this lens be used with crop sensor (DX) cameras, and what is the equivalent focal length?

Yes, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR Lens can be used with Nikon DX-format cameras. When attached to a DX camera, it provides an equivalent focal length of approximately 36-180mm. This makes it a great option for photographers using crop sensor bodies, as it still offers a versatile range suitable for various shooting situations.

What advantages does the Silent Wave Motor provide for autofocus performance?

The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) in this lens allows for fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance. This is particularly advantageous for shooting in quiet environments such as weddings or nature photography, where noise can be disruptive. The SWM also supports full-time manual focus override, giving photographers the flexibility to adjust focus manually without switching modes, which enhances creative control over their shots.

How does the Nano Crystal Coat and Super Integrated Coating improve lens performance?

The Nano Crystal Coat and Super Integrated Coating applied to the lens elements work together to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting. This is especially important when shooting in challenging lighting conditions, such as backlighting or high-contrast scenes. The result is improved contrast and colour accuracy, allowing for more vibrant and true-to-life images, which is crucial for professional photographers seeking high-quality results.
