Used it for a wedding first time out of the box. Performed beautifully. Never took it off my D300. Good zoom range covering all the bases. Constant f/4 and VR allowed me to hand hold at 1/15 sec. with good results. Great investment.

I use this lens on my Nikon D7000. This is my standard lens for normal shooting situations such as typical indoor/outdoor photos. The VR feature makes it very practical for off-hand shooting. It is also very sharp with the f4 across the complete range. I was tempted by the 24-70 f2.8 but that lens does not have VR. I've also found that the additional reach beyond 70mm comes in very handy and doesn't require me to switch to my 70-200 so frequently. I honestly cannot thin k of any negatives with this lens for my photo requirements.

I needed a decent walk around lens to matchup with my D7000. After reading and comparing reviews from several sites including the goldmine of opinions on this one, I decided to go for this middle of the road lens. It's not a cheap lens, but it is not one of the top and expensive 2.8 lenses. The continuous 4.0 is plenty fast, and it is very sharp across all f/stops. The zoom is smooth and the lens feels solid. So far I am extremely satisfied with this lens.

I've used the DX 18-200 and the DX 18-105 and this lens is significantly sharper than either of those, even wide-open. Picture quality is exceptional, though sharpness does fall off slightly in the outer 10% of the field of view at f4. There is some distortion as well but that is easily corrected in Lightroom. VR works great - I even get some hand-held shots at 120mm sharp down to 1/15. Adequate for closeups - FX field of view is about 5. Overall, I'm delighted with this lens and will use it as my primary mid-range lens. Combined with the D600, the 24-120 is slightly larger and heavier than the D300 + 18-105 but I don't really notice the difference unless I have them side by side. It would be interesting to compare the D600 + 24-120 with the D7000 16-85; both offer the same range and the 16-85 is reported to be the sharpest of the DX mid-range zooms. One other thing - I've noticed that the 24-120, like the 18-105, has problems with flare at f10 and above when shooting a dimly-lit scene with a sharply-contrasting a dim scene with a highlight in or near the frame - e.g barn interior with open window, or Antelope Canyon.

This is a quality lens... very sharp, edge to edge. The zoom range is perfect for a walk-about lens ranging from a nice 24mm wide angle to a handy 120mm zoom. Yes, it has some heft to it, but most good glass does. I use it with my D800 and couldn't be more pleased. I chose it over the 24-70 after doing research and finding the sharpness of this lens to be equal to the 24-70mm and has the added feature of VR, also several hundred $$ less. I highly recommend the 24-120mm to anybody looking for a fantastic general purpose lens!

Using this as a walk around travel lens. Great for portraits as well as some architecture shots. Cool bokeh also, because of the f/4 through the whole zoom range. It's a bit heavy though.

This was a great lens with a great range of focal length. I mounted it on a DX body (D80), the image quality was good, but not great. I'd bet it's the DX body which is not so great. When I mounted it on the D800 FX body, the image was very sharp. Pros: - Sharp image on FX body - Work great with SB910 in low-light - VRII really helps - Longer focal length than 24-70mm f/2.8 lens - It's pro-grade with the golden ring on it - Cheaper than 24-70mm f/2.8 lens - Good portrait lens (see image attached) Cons: - Not very sharp on DX body - Not performed very well in low-light situation WITHOUT a flash light - F/4 instead of F/2.8 Overall I am very satisfied with this lens. It's cheaper than the 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. I like the golden ring on the lens. It shows the professionalism, LOL.

Purchased this lens as an upgrade to the 18-200 VRII. First impression was that of a heavy, well-built lens. I've shot about 1,000 images with it now and am completely happy with the color rendition, sharpness, and autofocus performance. With proper post-processing, I've gotten many images with this lens that are on par with those produced by my 70-200 VRII. I shoot with a DX body, so this lens provides me with the equivalent of a 35-180, a classic midrange zoom. It is very versatile. I don't miss the longer or wider parts of the 18-200 focal range at all, and my general impression is that wide open at f/4, my pictures have better color, contrast, and sharpness than with the 18-200, even though I have many images from the 18-200 that are very good.

so far so good. better than my old 28 to 105 zoom but of course more expensive so would expect it to be. focuses faster, heavier lens though but has the VR. just have to get a flash that will do the continuous shooting. right now if continuous, flash works every other shot.

This lense met all my expectations. Razor sharp images on my D800. i cant imagine a better combination.
