Versatile zoom for FX and DX shooters

The Nikon AF Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF is a 3.5x standard zoom covering wide-angle to short telephoto. Its internal focusing system keeps the front element stationary, so circular polarisers and graduated filters work without rotation. The nine-blade rounded diaphragm produces smooth background blur suited to portrait work.

Suited to general photography, not specialists

Photographers wanting a single lens for travel, landscapes and full-length portraits will find the range practical. Buyers who need a constant aperture through the zoom range or weather-sealed construction should look elsewhere. The lens lacks vibration reduction, so low-light handheld work at the long end demands good technique.

Fits F-mount bodies, frees bag space

The lens mounts directly on any Nikon F-mount DSLR, covering both FX and DX formats without an adapter. Its filter thread does not rotate during focus or zoom, letting you leave a polariser attached. Replacing two or three primes with this zoom reduces the number of caps, hoods and pouches you carry.

Questions about this item

What camera mount must I already have to use this Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF lens?

It requires a Nikon F-mount DSLR body, so you need an existing F-mount camera for the lens to function.

How does this 3.5× zoom perform on an older DX-format DSLR I might keep?

On a DX body the 24-85mm range covers a narrower angle, effectively shifting the wide end toward normal and the long end toward short telephoto.

How can I verify the internal-focus mechanism is working after I mount the lens?

Rotate the zoom ring from 24 to 85 mm; the front barrel should not extend and the filter thread must stay stationary while focus shifts internally.
