The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR is a versatile standard zoom lens designed for full-frame Nikon DSLRs, offering a focal range from wide-angle 24mm to medium telephoto 85mm. This lens is ideal for photographers seeking a compact and lightweight all-in-one solution for everyday shooting, including landscapes, portraits, and travel photography. With Nikon's second-generation Vibration Reduction (VR II) technology, it provides up to 4 stops of image stabilization, enabling sharper handheld shots in low-light conditions or at slower shutter speeds. The optical design features 16 elements in 11 groups, including one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and three aspherical elements to minimize chromatic aberration, distortion, and flare. The maximum aperture varies from f/3.5 at 24mm to f/4.5 at 85mm, offering good low-light performance and pleasing background blur. The Silent Wave Motor ensures fast, quiet, and accurate autofocus, while internal focusing maintains the lens length during operation for better balance. Weighing just 465g and measuring 78mm in diameter by 82mm in length, it's highly portable and includes a bayonet lens hood for added protection. This lens is perfect for photographers who want professional-quality results without carrying multiple lenses, making it a staple in many camera bags.
