    Superb zoom lens; Bad Nikon QA!
    5 Stars
    Superb zoom lens; Bad Nikon QA!
    Every lens has some sort of compromise, especially in the zoom range. However, I am happy to report that this is one of the better zoom lens from Nikon! It is extremely sharp (even wide open) with excellent contrast and has a very useful zoom range to boot!I debated between the 24-70mm and this lens. The picture quality to my eyes is virtually equal other than the difference of one aperture stop. I'm sure the 24-70mm owners will disagree with this, but that is my finding.The biggest pro for the 24-70mm is the extra 1 stop of light, slightly quicker autofocus speed, and of course the corresponding softer bokeh due to the 1 stop aperture opening. However, the cons are numerous: it's heavier, has a shorter focal range, is more expensive, and has no VR. The first and last cons is what pushes over to the 24-120mm side, but the extra focal range and $500 less is nothing to sneeze at. When I take pictures with low light at 1/30 with rear-curtain flash sync, the VR is a godsend. There are absolute uses for VR beyond shaky hands!When taking landscape pictures, I stop the lens down to 8-11 and I cannot tell the difference between this and the 24-70mm. Furthermore, I use primes when I need the wider aperture.The biggest issue with this zoom (and the 24-70mm) is the high distortion. With Lightroom, this issue is virtually eliminated with the lens correction profile. I'm happy to report that this and the 50mm 1.8G (for in-doors and portraiture, soon to be replaced by the 85mm 1.8G) are the only two lens I bring with me on vacation. Check out my 3 recent pictures taken with this lens.Alas, I must return this lens for now. There is a small dust spec right in the middle of the lens below the outer glass. This can only be fixed by sending to Nikon. That is shoddy QA for a $1300 lens. I will return and re-order when it comes back in stock.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Allround-Zoom für Vollformat und APS-C (DX)
    Reviewed in Germany on January 2, 2018
    Hier bei Amazon kann man bereits viele Rezensionen zum Nikkor 24-120 f4 lesen. Die allermeisten sind sehr positiv und das wohl auch zu Recht.

    Ich möchte jetzt weniger auf die einzelnen technischen Details eingehen, sondern würde gerne über meine Erfahrungen mit diesem Vollformatobjektiv an meiner APS-C-Kamera berichten.

    Seit 2010 bin ich im Nikon-System. Zunächst D90, dann D7000, D7100 und aktuell D7200. Also alles Kameras mit dem kleinen APS-C-Sensor, sprich Nikon DX. Neben einigen Standardzooms für DX habe ich mich auch mit Festbrennweiten beschäftigt und bin hierbei u.a. auch auf das 50mm 1,8 G gestoßen, welches für Vollformatkameras (Nikon FX) gebaut wurde.

    Dieses Objektiv war eine ganze Zeitlang mein Immerdraufobjektiv. Nicht nur die hohe Lichtstärke hatte mich überzeugt sondern vorallem die Tatsache, dass ich durch die Kombination aus kleinem APS-C-Sensor und dem „viel zu großen“ Linsendurchmesser auch eine ganz andere Bildqualität erreicht hatte. Meine Bilder hatten zum Beispiel keinerlei Randabschattungen mehr und die Bildqualität ist auch vom Zentrum bis hin zum Randbereich nicht mehr abgefallen. Klar, denn die Randbereiche mit der naturgemäß schlechteren Bildqualität liegen ja nun außerhalb des Sensorbereichs.

    Ich probierte weitere Festbrennweiten aus und kam schließlich zu dem Schluss, dass das Fotografieren mit Festbrennweiten zwar absolut seinen Reiz hat, aber mein persönlichen Anspruch doch mehr Richtung Flexibilität geht.

    Also konzentrierte ich mich wieder auf Zooms. Da mir allerdings meine DX-Objektive nicht genug Qualität lieferten (subjektive Bewertung) kam ich auf die Idee, mir ein vollformattaugliches Zoom anzuschaffen. So geschehen mit dem Nikkor 24-85 VR, was mich echt überzeugte. Tolles Ding, super Bildqualität, aber irgendwann wurde es mir am hinteren Ende zu kurz.

    Nach wirklich langem und ausführlichem Studiums des Internets traf ich dann endlich meine Entscheidung und bestellte das Nikkor 24-120 f4 ED VR.

    An einem APS-C/DX-Sensor verhält sich das Objektiv wie ein 36-180mm Zoom. D.h. es ist grade noch so weitwinklig geht aber dafür recht stark in den Telebereich.

    Es hat in allen Brennweiten eine durchgängige Eingangs-Blendenöffnung von f1:4. Das hört sich im ersten Moment zwar etwas lichtschwach an, ist aber in der Praxis kein Problem. Zu lange Verschlusszeiten werden durch den hervorragenden Bildstabilisator vermieden und (zumindest an der D7200) hat man auch noch annehmbare Bildqualität bei ISO 3200.

    Wenn man sieht, dass man auch bei einer Brennweite von 120mm mit der 4er-Blende arbeiten kann, dann relativiert sich der negative Gedanke der Lichtschwäche wieder.

    Ich möchte hier nochmals erwähnen, dass ich dieses Vollformatobjektiv an einer APS-C-Kamera verwende. Daher sind meine Erfahrungen nur auf diese Kombination bezogen und keinesfalls auf die Verwendung des Objektives an einer Vollformatkamera.

    Kommen wir zur praktischen Bewertung des Objektives.

    Das 24-120 ist ein tolles Allroundzoom für Reise und Reportage. Es ist mein Immerdraufobjektiv. Es umfasst am DX-Sensor einen Bildwinkel entprechend 36mm bis 180mm. Wer es gerne etwas kürzer (weitwinkliger) hätte, wird keinen Spaß daran haben.

    Ich selber bin kein Freund von besonders weitwinkligen Bildern und komme daher mit diesem Zoombereich gut klar.

    Da dieses Objektiv ja eigentlich zu groß ist für meinen kleinen Sensor, gibt es keinerlei Vignettierungen, Bildfehler oder Unschärfen in den Randbereichen.

    Je mehr Licht da ist, desto besser spielt es sine Trümpfe aus und liefert tolle Qualität bei allen Brennweiten und Blenden ab.

    Im Innenbereich bei künstlichem Licht ist man allerdings darauf angewiesen, den Bildstabilisator einzuschalten und die ISO hochzuschrauben bzw. den Blitz zu nutzen. Die Qualität ist auch bei schlechtem Licht recht gut, aber natürlich merklich schlechter als bei gutem Licht. In diesem Fall wäre eine Blende 2,8 oder größer natürlich schon sehr cool.

    Muss an dieser Stelle nicht erwähnen, dass das Nikkor 24-70 f2,8 VR mehr als doppelt so teuer ist und zudem am 50mm weniger Brennweite im Telebereich hat.

    Soviel zur Bildqualität. Beispielbilder sind anhängig.

    Das Objektiv ist sehr solide gebaut. Der Haupttubus besteht aus technischem Kunststoff. Beim Zoomen bewegen sich zwei Objektivröhren hin und her, welche aus einer Magnesiumlegierung gefertigt sind. Der Zoom-Ring läuft sehr weich und geschmeidig, der Fokus-Ring hat etwas Spiel und läuft nicht so weich wie der Zoomring.

    Das Objektivbajonett ist aus Metall gefertigt und verfügt über eine Gummidichtlippe.
    Darüber hinaus finden sich drei Schalter auf der linken Seite des Objektives. Der Umschalter für den Fokus-Modus, Einschalter für den Bildstabilisator und der Modus-Wahlschalter für den Bildstabilisator. Auch diese Schalter sind gegen Staub und Feuchtigkeit abgedichtet.

    Das gesamte Objektiv ist (laut Nikon) gegen Staub und Spritzwasser abgedichtet, so dass man das Objektiv auch im Regen oder am Strand betreiben kann.

    Als Zeichen für seine professionelle Ausstattung und besondere Verarbeitung hat Nikon diesem Objektiv den „goldenen Ring“ verliehen. Das zu Recht.

    Habe mehrfach bei Regen, Nebel und Meeresgischt auf Sylt fotografiert. Nie ein Problem gehabt.

    Das waren meine persönlichen Gedanken zu diesem tollen Objektiv.

    Ich muss gestehen, dass ich dieses Objektiv sehr schätze und es nicht mehr hergeben möchte. Aber ich muss auch eingestehen, dass mich so mancher Testbericht im Internet und den diversen Foren oftmals verunsichert hatte.

    Oftmals wird dieses Objektiv mit seinem Vorgänger verwechselt, welcher wohl wirklich mies war.

    Es gibt auch Experten die der Meinung sind, dass an eine APS-C-Kamera auch nur ein APS-C-Objektiv gehört. Ich bin kein Experte und ich will mich auch nicht als Experte aufspielen, aber ich kann diese Expertenmeinung absolut nicht bestätigen. Ganz im Gegenteil.
