- Is this lens worth it over the 24-120mm f/4?
- The 24-120mm f/4 gives a longer range and a constant aperture but is bigger, heavier and pricier. This lens is the lighter, more compact choice if you mostly shoot outdoors and want a smaller bag.
- Does it work on DX (APS-C) Nikon bodies?
- Yes, it mounts on DX bodies and gives a 36-127.5mm equivalent view. You carry full-frame size and weight for a narrower range, so a dedicated DX zoom often makes more sense.
- Does it have image stabilization?
- Yes, it has Nikon Vibration Reduction. It helps handheld shots in low light, but it does not stop subject motion.
- Will autofocus work on my camera?
- It is an AF-S lens with a built-in motor, so it autofocuses on bodies with a screw-drive-free mount, including entry-level DSLRs. On Nikon Z cameras it needs the FTZ mount adapter.
- What is in the box?
- The lens comes with front and rear caps and a lens hood. A soft case is not included.
- How close can it focus?
- Minimum focus distance is about 0.38m (1.3 ft) across the zoom range, close enough for tight detail shots at 85mm.
- Where is the AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR Lens cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $584.95, as of our latest check.
