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

This was a genuine Nikon hood. Expensive for what it is but then what isn't these days.

I have been using the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR lens some time now and I say it is a nice lens to use for landscape photos. I like its versatility to be able to use in both landscape and portraits, which is very efficient for a wedding photographer like me.

I picked this up used as a replacement all rounder zoom for a D700. I had been using a 24-85 3.5-4.5 (non VR) which is a very good zoom. I have been happy with the results especially at the wide end. The lens provides very good pictures on the D700. It also works well on my other Nikon camera bodies: D300s, and F100. I have not noticed any build related performance issues with this lens, but I did pick it up used from a company that routinely tests and services their lenses so I'm assuming any alignment issues were fixed.

After reading many pro and con reviews on this lens I recently purchased via B&H. It is light and compact and appears to be very sharp. I also have the 18-35 mm for landscape and this lens gives much more reach and is lighter to carry. I also hope to use for family photos and close ups. With the 24-120 range its seams ideal for a travel lens and general walk around lens. So far, I really like it- the only reason for not 5 stars is that I have had limited use and have not done a large print yet.

Ik heb dit objectief gekocht als eerste stap naar mijn overstap naar fullframe. Op dit moment gebruik ik de Nikon D7100 als camera uit de DX-familie en met dit FX objectief maak ik al direct een flinke upgrade. Het objectief is zeer degelijk, heeft een flink zoombereik en is daardoor Allround. De eerste fotoresultaten zijn echt fantastisch.
