Nikon is pleased to announce the release of the AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VRII, a brand new 5x zoom lens for FX
format D-SLR photographers. The 24-120mm focal length continues to be a unique
proposition in the NIKKOR lens range and the new version features a fixed f/4
aperture throughout the zoom range. It incorporates Nano Crystal coat and
Nikon’s second generation VRII system.

“The AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VRII lens offers excellent value and performance in a compact
package for adventurous photographers everywhere. It is the second f/4 aperture
VR zoom lens introduced this year that broadens the options for Nikon photographers.”

Fixed Flexibility
The AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VRII covers a NIKKOR exclusive zoom range of
24mm to 120mm, ideal for events and travel photography. The fixed f/4 aperture
ensures consistent exposure settings across the zoom range; whatever the
subject, from expansive landscapes to isolating portraits, the AF-S NIKKOR
24-120mm f/4G ED VRII does it with ease.

Hold Still
The AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VRII is equipped with Nikon’s second generation
Vibration Reduction system (VR II) that offers compensation for camera movement
the equivalent to a shutter speed of approximately four stops faster and
couples well with the f/4 fixed aperture under low light conditions. The system
incorporates two modes: Normal for general handheld shooting and Active to
compensate for the mechanical vibration frequencies caused by planes and moving
vehicles.

Brilliant quality across the zoom range
The complex optical design uses Nano Crystal coat, two ED glass elements and no
less than three aspherical lens elements to maintain bright, high contrast
images under a wide variety of light conditions. Ghosting, flare and
aberrations are minimised whilst the nine bladed diaphragm generates subtle
bokeh effect in out of focus areas.

Smooth performer
The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) was specifically developed for the unique
characteristics of this lens. It offers very discreet autofocus performance
with instant Manual override possible in M/A mode. The zoom gearing and switch
placement has been carefully designed for intuitive (blind) operation when
looking through the viewfinder. The lens balances well with D-SLRs like the
D700 and the barrel features a subtle indentation to assist grip when in use.

Built to move
The large zoom range is achieved in a very compact and tough construction,
ideal for the adventure and travel photographer. Through extensive use of
magnesium and Super Engineering Plastic components the lens is built to handle
the knocks of everyday use, and rubber sealing around switches and lens mount
mean moist or dusty conditions are not a problem.

The AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VRII takes the ‘standard zoom’ concept to
another level to meet the demands of today’s high resolution FX format D-SLRs
while maintaining excellent price/performance ratio.

The lens is supplied with a dedicated hood HB-53 and a soft pouch.
