Nikkor Zoom Lens While the AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR Zoom Lens from Nikon is designed primarily for use with FX-format D-SLR 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 for a perfect 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 enough wide angle for all but the widest of shots.
The AF-S 24-120 ED VR is a versatile imaging tool with a constant maximum aperture of f/4.0 – this enables photographers to maintain exposure settings throughout the entire zoom range. For those critical focusing moments – the M/A focus mode switch allows the shooter to quickly change between manual and autofocus modes.
Nikon’s optical engineers have graced the lens elements with their proprietary Super Integrated Coating- a superior multicoating process that enhances light transmission for maximum clarity, crispness, and contrast. Additionally, this NIKKOR offering also benefits from Nikon’s very own Nano Crystal Coat – a high-tech lens treatment that ensures maximum imaging quality by limiting or eliminating the negative effects of ghosting, flare, and glare.
Low-light shooters will greatly appreciate the benefits of the addition of Nikon’s VR II image stabilization system. This amazing internal virtual tripod allows photographers to work with shutter speeds up to 4x slower than usual – whether it’s a candle-lit snap-shot or a moody portrait taken in a dark alley-way under a dingy street-lamp – hand-held photographers can rely on the AF-S 24-120 ED VR for sharp, clear, and extremely well-detailed imaging.
