The only lens that travels with me, when I want to travel light.
I was torn between the 24-70 f/2.8 and this one. Budget restriction and VR tipped the scale and I went for the 24-120 f/4. And what a good choice it was! I have a (brand new) D800E and the combination is awesome. The 24-120 f/4 actually delivers sharp (very!

Pros:
- constant f4
- zoom range
Cons:

I worried about image quality, but now my favourite len
When you think about it, zoom lenses were always about compromise. You trade a little image quality for the flexibility of being able to change your focal length 'on the fly' without removing the lens. Glad to say, those days are now gone.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Quick Focus
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction

So as I eluded to in build quality some seem to be perfect in function and some seem to have issues. I have had two of these and a short search on the internet will confirm what I found to be true. The first one did not seem to focus well and seemed to have a catch in the zoom mechanism.

Nikon AF-S 24-120mm f/4G ED-IF VR
Although this is not a head-to-head test, reference has to be made to Nikon's other 24-120mm zoom; the well-established variable-aperture (f/3.5-5.6) model that was reviewed in our January 2011 issue.
Pros:
- Impressive optical performance
Cons:
- Bigger
- heavier and more expensive than the variable-aperture alternative

Pros:

- Versatile
Cons:
- Distortion

Nikon Got it Right
This is a very sharp lens and it is a natural fit for my D700. I have owned the 24-120 F3.5-5.6 VR version of this lens for several years and never understood why it got such negative reviews, it is a very good lens also.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Sharp
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- NONE

Fantastic
This new lens has instantly become the one I MUST carry at all times. It offers incredible range, extremely high image quality and a relatively compact and light package.Yes, as many reviewers have said, there's distortion, particularly at wide angles, where it's more noticeable on most lenses, but...
Pros:
- Sharpness
- broad focal range
