Zoom range and intended use

This Nikon AF-S NIKKOR zoom covers a 24 to 85 millimetre focal range with a variable aperture of f/3.5 to f/4.5. It suits photographers who want a lightweight wide-to-short-tele option for everyday shooting. Buyers needing a constant maximum aperture or longer telephoto reach should consider other lenses. The lens is supplied new with a 72 millimetre UV filter included.

Thermals noise and power draw

The lens draws power from the camera body and has no internal cooling system, so it produces no fan noise and adds negligible heat during normal use. Vibration Reduction operates quietly and does not affect the camera's power consumption in any measurable way. No external power supply or thermal management is required.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the 72mm UV filter that comes with the 24-85mm lens, and what step do people often miss?

Screw the filter onto the front threads until it seats evenly; the step many miss is removing the lens cap first and checking for cross-threading by turning gently counter-clockwise before tightening clockwise.

What maintenance will the AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lens need over time?

Periodically clean the front and rear glass with a blower and microfibre cloth, keep the zoom and focus rings free of grit, and have the VR mechanism serviced if stabilisation becomes noisy or less effective.
