Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f/4G ED VR ($1,299.95 direct) has long been the standard zoom lens for full-frame Nikon cameras . Only recently has it been joined by a lesser-priced counterpart, the AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR .

Pricey; Noticeable distortion

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f/4G ED VR ($1,099.95) is one of a handful of standard zoom lenses for its full-frame SLR series. It sits above the AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR and below the AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR in both price and performance, offering a longer zoom range than both and an f-stop that stays the same as you zoom. It's a solid choice as a starter lens, but pro users will likely gravitate toward the shorter, faster 24-70mm. If you're willing to look at third-party options, the Sigma 24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM doesn't have the same range, but is a couple of hundred dollars cheaper and exhibits less distortion. Design The lens itself is pretty compact, especially when you consider its zoom range. It measures 4.1 by 3.3 inches (HD) at the 24mm position, weighs just under 1.5 pounds, and supports 77mm front filters. The barrel telescopes out as you zoom, roughly doubling in length at 120mm. A bayonet mount hood is included, along with front and rear caps and...

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f/4G ED VR is the standard zoom lens for full-frame Nikon cameras. It has solid range and image quality, but shows quite a bit of distortion.

Solid sharpness at wider angles; 5x zoom range; Constant f/4 aperture; Image stabilization

Noticeable distortion; Dim corners at wider angles; Some softness at f/4 when zoomed

When searching for a good walkaround lens to replace my very heavy 24-70 2.8 I was surprised that many lenses are nearly as big and still pretty darn heavy, but the new constant F4 of this 24-120 intrigued me so I grabbed a copy along with the half-the-price 24-85 VR 3.5-4.5 (kit lens) and tried...

VG build; VR modes; some weather sealing; good focal range

Hilariously expensive for slow glass; big and heavy; not the sharpest at the longer end

This lens gets an unfair bad rap as not being sharp at the telephoto end. I'm looking at a 20x30 print right now of a Buddha statue head sticking up out of the snow. I was probably 8-10 feet away. I can see individual ice crystals around the statue's neck, 120mm f4, D800E.

Sharp; good VR; fast focusing for an f4 lens; excellent flare control; covers 90% of what most people shoot; very quiet autofocus

Bit of wide angle distortion at wide end; at f4 more DOF than you may wish for; some examples have zoom creep issues when carried facing down; 77mm filters cost a lot; people will disrespect your lens choice - ignore them

Announced and released around photokina 2010, this often requested lens is finally available. With a constant f/4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range, which goes down to 24 mm at the short and up to 120 mm at the long end, it outspecs its main competition.
