Does this lens fit full-frame Nikon DSLRs?

Yes. It is an FX lens, so it covers the full frame on bodies like the D850 and D750, and it also mounts on DX bodies with a 1.5x crop.

Is the f/4 aperture fast enough for indoor shooting?

It is a constant f/4, which is a stop slower than f/2.8 zooms. Combined with Vibration Reduction it handles many indoor and evening situations, but it gives less background blur than f/2.8 glass.

How does it compare with the 24-70mm f/2.8?

It reaches 120mm and is lighter and smaller than the 24-70mm f/2.8, but it is a stop slower and less sharp at the edges wide open. The 24-70mm suits low light and critical work better.

Does it have image stabilization?

Yes. It has Nikon's Vibration Reduction, which reduces shake for handheld stills and video.

The lens ships with front and rear caps, a lens hood and a soft pouch. A tripod collar is not included.

Will autofocus work on entry-level Nikon bodies?

It needs a body with a screw-drive-free AF motor support, which most modern Nikon DSLRs have. On bodies without an AF motor, such as the D3000 series, autofocus will not work.

Our take on the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 24-120mm F/4G ED Vibration Reduction Zoom Lens

The AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR is Nikon's full-frame all-purpose zoom, covering wide angle to short telephoto in one lens. Constant f/4 aperture, Vibration Reduction and a Silent Wave Motor make it a practical walk-around choice for FX bodies. It is heavier and larger than a kit 24-85mm, and its corner sharpness wide open trails Nikon's f/2.8 zooms, but it replaces two or three lenses in the bag. Owners value the range and stabilization; some wish it were sharper at the long end and lighter on the camera.

Best forFull-frame Nikon shooters who want one lens for travel and eventsWedding and reportage work where changing lenses is a nuisanceHandheld low-light shooting that benefits from VRVideo users on FX bodies who want a constant aperture
