  • Nikon 24-120mm f/4G ED VR AF-S Nikkor

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Sharp, practical zoom range, brilliant photos
    Expensive

    I have bought in December 2010 my 24-120mm lens, went on vacation… and was fully disappointed from the image quality. It was unsharp and lusterless; in addition it had a back focus.
    Nikon service had repaired the lens twice with the final conclusion: 'fully in norm'. But my old cheap 16-85 was much, much better...
    After a long battle I return the lens back and it was replaced by the local dealer.
    The new lens is almost perfect! It delivers sharp and brilliant photos throughout the whole zoom range.

    I am happy now.
