Versatile zoom for FX and DX shooters

The Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF AF covers a 3.5x range from 24mm to 85mm with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 at the wide end. Internal focusing keeps the barrel length constant while Super Integrated Coating reduces flare. It suits photographers wanting a single lens for landscapes, full-length portraits and travel.

Mount and focus motor compatibility

The lens uses a screw-drive autofocus system, so it will only autofocus on camera bodies that have a built-in focus motor. It covers the FX image circle and works in DX crop mode or on 35mm film bodies. The filter thread measures 72mm; confirm your existing filters or budget for new ones.

UV filter and cleaning kit included

A 72mm UV filter is bundled to protect the front element from dust and scratches. The cleaning kit provides basic tools for maintaining glass clarity. No lens hood, pouch or case is mentioned in the supplied data.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what needs to be purchased separately?

The package includes the Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF AF lens, a 72 mm UV filter, and a cleaning kit; lens caps are included, while a hood and case must be bought separately.

How do I decide between the wide and telephoto ends of the 24-85mm range?

At 24 mm the lens offers an 84° angle of view and a fast f/2.8 aperture for landscapes; at 85 mm it narrows to 20°30' and f/4.0, suited for portraits and tighter framing.

What does the 1:2 maximum reproduction ratio mean when shooting close-ups?

It allows focusing as close as 1.6 ft (0.5 m) so the subject appears half life-size on the sensor, useful for detail shots without a dedicated macro lens.
