Versatile FX Zoom Lens

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR covers wide-angle to portrait focal lengths for FX-format F-mount cameras. It also works on DX bodies providing a 36-127.5mm equivalent range. The variable aperture runs from f/3.5 to f/29 across the zoom. Three aspherical elements and one ED element correct aberrations throughout the range.

Optical Quality and Stabilisation

Super Integrated Coating reduces flare and ghosting for better contrast and colour accuracy. VR II image stabilisation compensates for camera shake by up to four stops. Silent Wave Motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus suitable for stills and video. Rounded 7-blade diaphragm produces smooth out-of-focus highlights.

Handheld Shooting Performance

The stabilisation system supports sharp handheld results at slower shutter speeds in typical lighting. Optical corrections maintain consistent sharpness and colour fidelity across the 24-85mm zoom range. Autofocus tracks subjects reliably during continuous shooting sessions. This lens suits photographers wanting a single lightweight zoom for travel and everyday use.

Questions about this item

How do I attach this F-mount lens and what step is often missed?

Align the mounting index on the lens barrel with the camera’s F-mount index, twist until it clicks, then set the aperture ring to its minimum position so the body can control the f/3.5-4.5 range.

What part will need service or replacement after extended use?

The VR II stabilisation unit and Silent Wave Motor are the moving components most likely to require professional attention after heavy shooting.

Which limit appears first when shooting continuously at 85mm?

At 85mm the maximum aperture is f/4.5, so in low light the exposure triangle hits its shutter-speed floor before the f/29 minimum aperture becomes relevant.
