I love the 24-120 lens. I own just about all of the Nikon lens for my D750. I use the 24-120 most of the time. The Vibration Reduction feature is fantastic. I could be shaking butt naked in Antarctica using this lens, and the focus would be perfect. Can't say enough good things about this lens. The 24-120 is the king of kit lenses. Great video by-the-way.

Good lens and good range being an f4 and vr working well. Was thinking should I even mention the 28-300 in this review, I did not only because that lens, yes it has alot more range but its on a lower quality level then the 24-120. I can use this lens for paid photography gigs with consistent pro results. I cant say the same for the 28-300. That lens is more of a consumer lens. Thanks for your input and exp Lance.

I just received this lens with my Nikon D750 I just bought used. I have no issues with it. People (professionals) bad mouth it because it is a kit lens and not made in Japan. I have had no issues taking photos with mine. I am not a pro, But I'm not a beginner either. Just my opinion as a semi pro who does his research before making a purchase. Remember, most of these "pros" that do reviews on gear are usually being paid sponsorship fees to make those videos. They aren't gonna bash the product or they lose income.

Amazing lens with amazing results and I have had this because of VR...it is a keeper lens for me & never regret having one. Nice review dude, keep it up!

The 24-120mm lens was the first FX lens that I purchased for a full frame camera. What a life changer it turned out to be. After seeing the pictures, I would not be going back to a crop sensor camera. Thank you for sharing this video.

Thank you! Your format for reviewing a lens is the best and most helpful I've seen -- no charts, but real world examples and even comparisons with similar lenses. It was great to see a modern day review of a lens that has been out for a decade and, as you said, is often overlooked. I got my 24-120 as a kit with my D750 and saved some money. I now have a D780 and the 24-120 is actually the reason I haven't gotten the 24-70. It just works and has that extra reach. Appreciate the comparison with the 24-70. Your comments always have little interesting "nuggets", like when you said that 2.8 wasn't a big deal at the reception. I'm keeping my 24-120 and appreciate the balanced evaluation from a real pro. Well done. 👍

I just watched your review of the Nikon 24-120 mkm f4 VR. I agree with you that it is a very useful walk-around lens. As a matter of fact I have two of them mounted on my D4s and my D810. When I'm on city transport (Bus) I have either one in a Lowepro camera bag with either the Nikon 70-200 mm, f/2.8 G ED VR in the bag for the D810 with an SB-700 speedlight in the bag. The D4s has a AF Nikkor 80-200 mm, f/2.8, D ED, with a SB-400 in its bag. I've appreciated having those lenses at various times and look forward to acquiring another Lowepro bag to prepare it for the D750. Thanks for your review and your suggestions.

Bro you helped me!!! Fantastic Video!!!! I have a 16-35 f4, 24-70 2.8 and 24-120 f4 for my d850 and I have an outside wedding to shoot, 5-6pm. I really didn't want to be swapping back and forth and was wanting someone to say the 24-120 is good enough for professional work. The 24-70 forces me to walk too close to the bride and groom and I feel like a disruption that's why my plan is to use the 16-35 before any guests arrive to get establishing shots then go to the 24-120 because of the range. If it were indoors I think I'd use the 24-70 as primary. I don't have a 70-200 2.8 but I want one, even though more choices is going to cause more confusion, lol.

Hi Vahagraphy, thanks for your comparison. I have the 24-70mm as a walk-around lens and sometimes I wish I had more zoom, so I am thinking about either having both of them or trading the 24-70 for the 24-120mm. I like the f/2.8, but I think the weight saving and extra reach can compensate this

I think your review is a good one. After I upgraded from a D7100 to a D750 I got the 24-70/2.8 G as well. But pretty soon I found out that it's just too heavy for what it is, for me. Then I got the 24-120/4 G as well. There are some things I don't like about it. I don't like the zoom creep. Also, the AF is slower compared to that 24-70. But the results speak for themselves. So it's not perfect, but I like it a lot. I also considered the 24-85/3.5-4.5 G. In terms of range I could have lived with that (I had the 17-55/2.8 G on the D7100 - AWESOME build quality & AF). But when I tried it in a shop, it seemed to be visibly less sharp, and I read it has pretty severe field curvature. I didn't like that on my 17-55 so I chose this one instead.

@@Vahagraphy Yes, the creep starts quickly. But I have a habit of getting a new one every two - two and a half years and selling the old one. That way I don't loose much money but keep the lens new and ready to go.

I purchased a rarely used Nikon 24-120mm f/4 VR second hand for about $350 a few years ago, but it never got much use due to the corners/edges of the photos coming out blurry. I ended up buying a bad copy of this lens =( It stayed in my gear bin for a couple years until I contemplated selling it and buying a brand new 24-70mm f/2.8 for $1500. Instead, I sent it to Nikon to have the problem checked out and repair the corner blur. When it came back, I immediately attached the lens on my D750 and shot landscape as well as portrait photos. Sure enough, the blurry corners disappeared and the photos were sharp! After spending a few hundred dollars for Nikon to repair the lens, I've decided to keep it and put it to good use. To me, it's an amazing lens despite some of the negative reviews I've read. Good thing I sent the lens out for repair otherwise I would've had to shell out $1500 on a 24-70mm.

Hi Vahagn - This lens is a strange case as it is truly an 'all arounder' that as a result compromises in every way: It has average IQ, it is not fast (f/4) and its VR is good but not great. It does have a compelling range however at 24-120 vs typical 24-70 making it interesting walk around lens if you can only take one. Years ago when I bought my D750, I opted to not buy this lens for the kit discount price and instead bought the Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2 lens. Years later, I purchased the Nikon 24-120 f/4 lens refurbished from Nikon for about $550. The Tamron lens is about $1,200 new and the Nikon 24-120 new is about $1,100. The Tamron smokes this lens in every way - it has much better IQ, its VR (which Tamron calls VC) is about 2 stops better and of course it is a 2.8 across the focal range rather than a 4 so it is a stop faster allowing for lower ISO in low light scenarios - they only way that the Nikon is better is in the extra reach from 70 to 120. When I bought the Nikon lens, I thought that I would use it more, but for the work I do, I really don't. It just isn't fast enough and the IQ isn't close enough to the Tamron or the primes that I use. I upgraded to the Z system a year and half ago, and the new 24-70 2.8 S is probably the best 24-70 ever made for any camera system, and the 24-120 is further left behind (of course the new lens is $2500 so there is a vast price difference). That said, as a purely walking around lens, or a vacation lens, I think that it is a good value proposition if you get it in a kit with your camera for about $500 or used for no more than about $500. It is worth $500 - it is definitely no worth $1,100. If you are into video as mentioned in your video, this lens is definitely not for you. The same can be said in general for most F mount lenses - they are loud to auto focus and most have considerable focus breathing. You mention the 24-200 lens for Z mount as an alternative, but that lens is a 4-6.3 variable aperture lens and most reviews confirm that it is one of the weaker lenses in the Z line up for IQ - as a travel lens it is probably sufficient, but for any real work or low light it is lacking. A better alternative if you absolutely need more range than 24-70 would likely be the upcoming 24-105 f/2.8-4 S lens for the Z system. As this lens is designed for the mirrorless platform and is an S line lens, its IQ will likely far exceed the 24-200 and certainly the F mount 24-120. Furthermore, as an S line lens, it will likely have very little focus breathing making it a much more competent video lens and although it is still a variable aperture, it is a 2.8-4 so it is faster across at least half of the focal lengths than the 24-120 and just as fast at the telephoto side. This is the lens that is the best replacement for a 24-120 not the 24-200. The 24-120 was meant to be a pro lens and so is the upcoming 24-105. The 24-200 is a travel/'tourist' lens. Final thoughts: As a backup lens the 24-120 can serve in a pinch, but I never reach for it in favor of the 24-70 2.8 and/or the entire line of new 1.8 primes for the Z mount - all of these lenses are just better in almost all respects save the focal range versatility - but again the upcoming 24-105 will almost match the focal length versatility of the 24-120 lens and offer superior IQ and also be faster. If you are looking for a lens like this, I think it would be smart to wait for this new lens to drop this year - unless you can pick up the 24-120 for a smoking deal - south of $500. Just my take. -B

Ok so one question I have for you, ohh yah and btw I to Im looking forward to the 24-105 but some are saying its not going to be a 2.8-4 , just an f4, but we will see, But my question is,, as far as your tamron goes. how does that tamron compare with the Niko 24-70 2.8 G in your opinion?

@baronsilverton6504

3 жыл бұрын

@@Vahagraphy Hi Vahagn - I am also not sure about the upcoming 24-105 - if it is only an F4 then I probably would not get it (depending on one's use case) but if it is a 2.8-4 then it is much more appealing and I think would be a very good replacement for the current F mount 24-120 F/4 - we know it will be sharper in the center and certainly corner to corner, but if it is also faster through at least half the zoom range then it becomes very appealing. With respect to your question: as far as how the Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2 compares to the Nikon 24-70 2.8 - that is a complicated question. First there are several versions of the Nikon - lets only discuss the VR version as the Tamron has VR (called VC for vibration control in Tamron parlance) - this way it is more of an apples to apples comparison: In this case, both lenses are quite sharp, both suffer for some amount of focus breathing, but the VR on the Tamron is significantly better than the VR on the Nikon - Fstoppers did a video a couple years ago comparing the Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2 to the Sigma Art 24-70 2.8 to the current Nikkor 24-70 2.8 with VR - their conclusion was that the Tamron was the best - as I recall it was because the IQ was similar in all of them although the Tamron had a potential claim to being the best, but the VR (VC) on the Tamron smoked the Sigma Art lens whose VR (called OS - for Optical Stabilization) is pretty bad and the Tamron was significantly better than the Nikon although the Nikon was better than the Sigma. Finally there is price - the Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2 is $1199.00 whereas the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E ED-IF AF-S VR is listing for $2,399.95 but on sale now for $2096.95. I am sure it is readily available for the $2,096.95 price but still at that price the Tamron is clearly the better lens. It is $900 less expensive has more or less equal IQ, and better VR. I recently sold my Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2 because I also sold my Nikon D750 which was my last DSLR. I now use the Z system exclusively, and I have the Nikkor 24-70 2.8 S lens for the Z system. This lens is incredible and is better than all of the aforementioned lenses - it is likely the best 24-70 2.8 on the market for any manufacturer - certainly right at the top - so I no longer needed my Tamron. That said, for someone on a budget just starting out who wants a professional lens the Tamron is a way better buy than the Nikon - I would even say for professionals if you don't already have the Nikon, save the money and get the Tamron - I have used it for professional work and it is outstanding. Furthermore, if you are going to use it for video its VR (VC) is clearly class leading - above the rest. Hope this answers your question Vahagn. Thanks again :) -B

@@Vahagraphy Hi Vahagn - if you are sticking with DSLR and you do not already have the 24-70 2.8 Nikkor with VR then yes, I think the Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2 is the best choice - it is optically on par with any of the F mount choices and has the best VR (VC - Tamron lingo) for a great price - much less than the Nikon. That said, if you are going to become a Z shooter, there is no substitute for the Nikkor 24-70 2.8 S lens for Z mount. It is possibly the best 24-70 2.8 made for any camera system to date. If you are migrating to the Z system, I would say sell whatever current 24-70 2.8 that you have and buy the S line model for Z - you absolutely cannot go wrong.

Good Video, you named all the aspects, I fully agree, I think it was necessary to give an objective look at this lense,because some are still prejudis and only see the f stop. The slidely difference in the sharpness comes from the different construction principle . While the 24-70 has internal focusing, the 24-120 is the oposite. With the internal focus, the lenses are shiftet inside against each other, this way the point of sharpness can be reached more precisely, but it's also more expensive.

Hi Gregory. Yes, I think the balance of this lens is not the best. Its a bit bottom heavy. My copy does the same thing. Its not to bad. Sometimes it does this sometimes it does not, hehe but nothing to be worried about. I can live with it. Only issue I have is if Im setting it up for a tripod shot and I need to pan down. They sell these creep rubbers on amazon for a few bucks check those out.

I could say a lot about this lens but my reasons to have it are: 24-70 2 8 lenses are much heavier more expensive and have much less reach. I only take it off my D810 to use either Micro or the extra wide 16-35. You could have sharper shots in some situations with the heavier, shorter reach "Pro" lenses but how many real life oppirtunies are you going to miss? I would love an update for this as more megapixels are added to camera sensors. Another one to watch is the 70-300 P vr for FX: sharp on D810 even at 300mm.

This is probably the most underrated F mount lens, certainly the most underrated F mount zoom lens. I think most people that bad mouth it are people that either never had it or did but didn't know how to use it properly. Is it a perfect overall lens? No, of course not. It has plusses and minuses like all lenses. But its overall plus/minus is quite good. Its too bad Nikon decided the next version, the Z version, will be a 24-105. I really wish Nikon had either stuck with a 24-120 f4 or maybe even gone 28-135 f4.

Hi Vahagn, thank you so much for the tip that the 24-70 hood can be used on the 24-120 lens! May I know does doing so 1) introduce vignetting corners at any focal length in full frame, and 2) does it still "clicks in place" like the original 24-120 hood?

The second actually came in two pieces (the zoom ring was not attached) : returned. The third one was again stiff in the zoom, but usable. But the corners were very soft (downright blurry) : gave it to my brother. The fourth one works ok, pics are passable but not great, and at the 24mm setting - it reports 38mm in exif data. I like the zoom range, it's great - but I just couldn't find a good one. Admit that I bought used - but 0 for 4 was just too much for me.

I guess its sort of like a hidden secret gem. Good Cheap (used) , reliable and pro lens. Thank you Singh for your take.

@@Vahagraphy yeah its really good for price and my 24-70 2.8 zoom rimg got stiffed afyer 2 years and that made me feel sad that i have spent so much money on it and i never saw that problem in cheap lenses even 55-200.

@@PunjabiGymBeats Yah you just never know sometimes. Like any product. Try to store your lenses away from elements or humidity.

Interesting as a back up indeed but they charge 1400 bucks now for this lens. By the way all Nikon gear went up in price with almost 30 a 40%. This ain't funny anymore🤯🤯. Long live the second hand market😀

Very long review that could have been done in 5 minutes. Also, you have repeated words like "extra reach" and "backup" hundred times, so I end up growing grey until I finished watching so called review. I was actually considering purchasing this lens but now not even sure if this is the lens our your ability to shoot decent photos that put me off. Not trying to be mean, just sharing my experience after watching your review first time ever. As for 24-70 I'd recommend upgrading to VR, definitely one the best lens in the market.

Thanks for your feedback.

I liked the review, but it was too long, and repetitive. I thnk you said you purchased the lens primarily as a backup lens at least 4 times. You could have chopped at least 5 minutes out of this video and provided the same info.
