AF-S 24-120mm f/4G ED VR

Wide to Telephoto Zoom Lens

The AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR Lens from Nikon is designed for use with both FX and DX-format DSLR cameras. When used with a DX-format camera it offers a 36-180mm equivalent focal length range. With a wide-angle to telephoto focal range it is a versatile lens choice, and a constant maximum aperture of f/4 allows exposure settings to be maintained throughout the zoom range.

The lens design includes two Extra-low Dispersion elements and three aspherical elements, as well as Nikon's Super Integrated Coating, to reduce chromatic aberrations and enhance light transmission for crisp, clear images with accurate colour.  Additional Nano Crystal Coat reduces ghosting and flare, and a rounded 9 blade diaphragm produces attractive out-of-focus areas.

The lens uses a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for fast, quiet and precise autofocus, and a M/A focus mode switch allows for a quick change to manual mode when precise focus control is need. This is benefitted by an internal focus design that maintains the working distance throughout the focus range. It also keeps the front element from spinning, which maintains the position of a polariser or lens hood.

Lastly, VR II image stabilisation reduces the effects of camera shake, for sharper handheld imaging. This is particularly useful when working in low light situations or when shooting at the telephoto end of the focal range.
