Versatile FX Zoom Lens

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR covers a wide-angle to short-telephoto range with a constant f/4 maximum aperture. It is built for FX-format F-mount cameras and suits photographers who want a single lens for diverse shooting scenarios. Three aspherical and two extra-low dispersion elements reduce aberrations for sharp, clear images. Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings control flare and ghosting to improve contrast and color accuracy.

F-Mount Compatibility Limits

This lens is designed for FX-format F-mount cameras and functions on DX models with a 36-180mm equivalent focal length range. It will not autofocus on camera bodies that lack a built-in autofocus motor, so buyers must verify body compatibility. The constant f/4 aperture provides consistent exposure across the zoom range but does not offer the wider maximum apertures found on some prime or professional zoom lenses.

Constant f/4 Maximum Aperture

The fixed f/4 aperture throughout the 24-120mm zoom range is the specification that determines if this lens fits your exposure and depth-of-field requirements. It maintains brightness when zooming but limits low-light capability and shallow depth-of-field control compared to f/2.8 alternatives. VR II image stabilization helps offset the slower aperture for handheld shooting. The rounded 9-blade diaphragm produces smooth background blur when desired.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 24-120mm f/4 or a variable-aperture zoom for FX shooting?

The constant f/4 aperture stays at f/4 from 24mm to 120mm, so exposure does not shift while zooming — useful for video and consistent flash work.

What does the 24-120mm range actually cover on my FX body?

On FX it frames from wide 24mm through short telephoto 120mm; on DX the same lens gives a 36-180mm equivalent field of view.

How does the F-mount interface limit this lens on current mirrorless bodies?

It mounts natively on F-mount DSLRs; on Z-series cameras it requires the FTZ adapter, and autofocus works only on bodies that support screw-drive or AF-S lenses.
