While the AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR Zoom Lens from Nikon is designed primarily for use with FX-format D-SLR cameras, it's equally at home on any DX-format D-SLR camera. As a standard 5.0x zoom on an FX-format camera body, it's perfect for landscapes, portraits, and weddings - it's an excellent choice for a perfect take-along-everywhere lens. On a DX-format camera, the focal length gets a 1.5x bump that turns it into a formidable longer-range optic with enough wide angle for all but the widest of shots..../ Nikon 24-120mm f/4G ED VR AF-S NIKKOR Lens for Nikon Digital SLR / 18-200 vrNikon 24-120mm f/4G ED VR AF-S NIKKOR Lens for Nikon Digital SLR

Excellent lens : Nikon 24-120mm f/4G ED VR AF-S NIKKOR Lens for Nikon Digital SLR
Like other reviewers I had the previous version of the 24-120 and it performed poorly on my D700. It'd been better on my old D60 but unacceptable on the full frame D700 which makes use of the whole lens not just the central bit. Like other reviewers mine ended up on ebay after just 2 weeks!
Given the poor previous incarnations of this lens I was a bit concerned and did a lot of tests between this and other quality lenses I own. It came out better than my previous mid range zoom - the Nikon 24-85. It was very close in quality to the Nikon 16-35. At the centre nothing much between the two - only in the corners was it obvious the 16-35 was the better lens. The 16-35 was also a better performer at f4 - stopped down to f8 and differences were virtually unnoticeable.
The 24-120 doesn't perform quite as well at the long end. I compared to my Nikon 70-300mm and the 70-300 was clearly sharper at the edges at all focal lengths and apertures. Again not much difference in the centre.
Having said all that the differences were on the whole quite small and acceptable - the lens is acceptable at all apertures or zoom length.
However I did notice the 24-120 has good contrast - certainly better than the Nikon 24-85.
After a lot of pixel peeping I took the lens out for some proper photography. I took some great shots - sharp, contrasty and loved the flexibility of this lens.
In summary this lens is not going to be as sharp as a bag of expensive prime lenses. Or even short range zoom lenses. Convenience means some compromise on quality - but the compromise is very small and acceptable where you want to travel light. I've given 4 stars due to the price of the lens - twice the cost of the previous version.
