Just bought a D800 last FEB 14,2013 and deciding if going to get the 70-200mm 2.8 0r 24-70mm 2.8 lens plus the SB910 flash,but budget forbids it.This is my first lens NIKON 24-120MM for my D800. I bought this lens because of the overall coverage when taking a variety shots,you can go from wide to zoom and get good results.With 2 ED glass and 3 Aspherical lens plus VR,Nano coating ,you can never go wrong with this LENS. I suggest you grab one of this until they have $$$ off. This is an upgrade to my ever faithfull Nikon FA.
NIKON D800 BODY-$2999.95
NIKON 24-120 MM-$1296.00 THIS ARE REGULAR PRICES , but with $$$ OFF you can save a lot of money and still have some left to buy a flash.
NIKON D800 W/ $200 OFF =2796.95
NIKON 24-120 MM W/$300 OFF = 996.95 YOU SAVE $500 TOTAL
NIKON SB910 FLASH - $546.95
If you're budget conscious,I suggest you get yours now before instant rebates are gone.

Superb general purpose lens

I bought this lens as a replacement for the kit lens that came with my Nikon D600. The fixed aperture, VR II, internal focus and excellent lens coatings make this wide angle to medium telephoto lens a great all around choice for my general purpose "go to" unit. It is solid without being overly heavy and it balances well. The zoom range covers a bigger range for normal shots than the more common 24-70mm size. It is a professional class lens without the high cost and excessive weight of going to the Nikon f2.8.
I also purchased the new Nikon 70-200mm f4 zoom and together this combo provides everything I need for tack sharp images at an affordable price.
No regrets!

I was going to go with the kit lens, but the constant aperture and little extra reach sold me on it. I am glad I went with this lens. It is very contrasty, sharp, very quick to focus, VR is a welcome addition and works brilliantly. A bit heavy, but hey, it's a lot of glass. Loads of distortion, but easily fixable in post processing... all zooms have a lot of distortion. CA seems to be under control and bokeh is quite nice.

No, its not the equal of a half a dozen prime lenses. It's not the equal of Nikon's holy trinity of fixed aperture zoom lenses covering the same range. But its remarkably robust compared to the competition, its plenty sharp, and its distortion is acceptable in all but the most critical applications. Five stars for a lens that's good enough for all but the 99th percentile. The only lens I need in my bag.

Just bought this lens today and has blown me away with the VR and sharpness. I was going to get the 2.8mm 24-70 instead but in spite of this one being a stop lower the aditional feature of VR clearly trumps it.in working in low light conditions without a tripod

I bought this lens 3 months ago and it has not left my camera ever since. I use this lens for everything ranging from in-house portraits, parties, low-light, sunset photography, landscape and much more. This is a MUST have lens to have in your arsenal if you are a serious hobbyist or a semi-pro. The picture quality is super sharp. Overall I rate this lens 5/5. If you have a decent DSLR and want to invest in only one lens then this is the one. You dont need any other lenses apart from this one. It covers good range (24-120mm) for close-ups as well as zoom. For regular people, it is little expensive lens but trust me, you'll love the results. I would recommend to save some money and buy this lens other than any other lenses out there. I have the Nikon D5000 and it matches perfectly with it. I absolutely LOVE this lens!!

I'm a newcomer to Nikon Family. Just bought the D7000 paired with this lens less than a month.
I took the system to a resort island in West Java, Indonesia and capture lots of pictures... The result is unarguably amazing. Even my friend, who is a pro-photographer with C***N system, were admiring the IQ.
All of the pictures i took were made handheld..

This lens came highly recommended. I am not disappointed. My first day of shooting showed me that the improvements made over the older 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6 version were truly worth the wait. Blew me away!

I fought with myself for several months over what zoom lens to upgrade to. I have to say that I have no regrets!!
This lens almost never comes off my camera. It is an excellent walk around lens and despite the max F/4, the VR makes up for it in low light. I was amazed at how crisp the results were even down to 20-30th of a second shutter speed!!!
It is also nicely compact (compared to the other Pro lenses that Nikon has produced). It is solid but not too heavy, and I was pleased to find out that there was no zoom creep like my brothers 18-200.
The only problem that I have found is that you can't use the pop-up flash on your camera with this lens, it is just too large and casts a huge shadow when fully extended. But I have the SB-700 so this is not a problem for me.

The lens Nikon was missing, I have never really seriously considered moving to the DARKSIDE (Canon) but they did make a 24-105 F4 that left me longing for the equivalent in a Nikon product. Well not only have they meet Canon in this range they have doubled down and surpassed them with this lens. It is my favorite lens and I am considering sell my 24-70 2.8. The 24-120 is sharp and the colors are out of this world. Do buy it.

Bought this lens as a backup for my 24-70mm f.28 and love it; very sharp at both ends and nice having the extra mm on the telephoto end. A great lens for event photography which I do a lot of. Focuses as well as my 24-70mm in low light using
the SB800 or SB900 infra-red assist. Thanks Nikon
for upgrading this lens!

I've been using this lens for about 6 months and have been very impressed with the quality of the photo and the sturdiness of the lens construction.
It's a great multi purpose lens that I seldom have to remove from the camera and the AF is lightning fast.

The new Nikkor 24-120mm f4 is a long-awaited addition to the Nikon professional line of zoom lenses. I do mainly travel photography, and have found it to be very sharp and well balanced. When I am in a situation where I prefer to travel light, this lens works admirably with my Nikon D300s. The f4 aperture is more than adequate, and reduces the weight from an f2.8 lens considerably. An f2.8 lens in this zoom configuration simply is not necessary.

This is exactly what I wanted in this range. F4 is fast enough for the many retirement parties, weddings, and family events that I shoot. I haven't seen anything in the pictures that would make me regret buying this lens. Note I also use the 24-70 2.8 lens for situations that demand sharper takes, but this is not too common.

The 24x120 zoom with VR technology is my favorite lens. It is the lens which is on my camera most of the time. Great for group photos, portrait close up, nature close up as well as landscape. It is my favorite for travel whether in the Austrian Alps photographing gorgeous mountains & glaciers, or Alpine buildings, or fast action events.

When I started taking pictures the 50mm lens was the standard lens. 50mm lens were versatile, and the optics were of higher quality than available zoom lenses. But as film has given way to digital imaging, technology has advanced optics too. This lens is small and has a extremely useful zoom range. This lens is heavier than my previous plastic bodied standard zoom, but it balances the camera and embodies the durability and quality. This gives me a feeling of confidence when I use it. The image quality has been excellent. While this lens may not have the fast apertures of more expensive zooms, in the action shots of my children, I have found the limited depth of field of the faster lensis not useable. I have used this lens for landscapes, travel and family pictures. I look forward to using this lens on an upcoming trip to the Grand Canyon. The lens will not disappoint.
