Today we are talking about the kit lens (Nikon 24-120mm f4) for the Nikon d780 and why I consider it to be the king of kit lenses!

Glued to my D800. Underrated, I’ve used for travel, weddings, long exposure night photos and I’m really impressed with it. On my Z6 I’ve shot 1/2 sec handheld shots with it no problem.

@jondoeslifestuff 4 года назад

Yeah man, love this lens when I got my D750 back in the day. Never understood why people didn't like it. It does exactly what you tell it to do! Good stuff my dude.

@RanftEvan 4 года назад

Thanks!! It was weird before I bought the 780 package I read some reviews and there was no middle ground. A lot of people loved it and then a percentage of people despised it lol 😂

@bfs5113 4 года назад

My thought is that it can be caused by the bad reputation of the older 24-120 f/3.5-5.6 VR. Back then when the EF 24-105 f/4 IS was the go to kit lens for many Canon DSLR buyers, Nikonians could not find one that was good enough for them. Hence, the Nikon 24-120 (old or new) is not on the top of their wish lists. On the other hand, the 24-120 f/4 can be a good choice for new Nikonians who are not influenced by its history. That is my experience since 2008, after I picked up the D3. Also, even I have the EF 24-105 f/4 IS (for my 5D series) as well, but rarely use it, but instead the lens trinity.

@patricksmith2553 2 года назад

If you're a great photographer, this is a great lens. Some good photographers compensate skill for buying the fastest f/1.4 or f/1.2 lenses and that can help, I always recommend upgrading your lenses or just glass over camera. I've had the 24-70 f/2.8G and more recently the 24-70mm f/2.8EVR and I love both, but I ended up selling both. I literally sold the 24-70mm f/2.8E VR because it wouldn't fit in my bag, I know weird or stupid, but important to me. I'm a photojournalist shooting mostly sports and breaking news. I shoot with two Nikon D5's or a D5/D850 depending on what I need or won't based on lighting or conditions, etc. My main two most used lenses that are always in my bag are the 70-200mm f/2.8E VR FL and 500mm f/4E VR FL, with a TC-14E III for when I need or want more reach. So I have only enough room for one more lens in my ThinkTank Airport Accelerator backpack. The 24-70mm f/2.8E VR was an awesome lens and I wish I could have kept it, since I got a very sharp copy and was very impressed. But unfortunately I had to either take only my 70-200FL and the 24-70 VR and leave my 500FL at home or just take the 500mm and one of the zooms, leaving a huge gap in focal length! So I sold off my 24-70 VR, there was no way I was going to sell one of the telephoto lenses as I use and love those much. So I decided to buy one of these 24-120mm f/4 VR lenses and I was honestly surprised by it. I never thought I'd own one or would want one, but f/4 when paired with VR is fine and honestly I really like this lens, but more importantly it fits in my bag. So now I have 24mm-700mm covered, all in one bag, with two flagship sized bodies. This lens in the right hands can produce amazing images, period. It's affordable and it's colors are surprising good, just as good as the pro-grade f/2.8 lenses in my opinion. I won't use my copy much past 70mm, just because I have the epic 70-200mm f/2.8E FL lens, but I do love it at the wide to normal range!

@joshzaring 4 года назад

Dude, back whenI was Nikon shooter I used 24-120 f/4 lens so much. Very sharp, and between 100-120mm close up you can actually get nice bokeh for a portrait. Wasn’t my first choice for portraits, but for an all around lens it was excellent.

@BlahLukas 4 года назад

@matthewzagorski1597 4 года назад

@@markshirley01 I've been shooting my Tamron 45mm for everything before purchasing the 24-120. It's a big relief that just adding one more lens makes my kit a swiss army knife. Plus having vr in both lenses helps with low light shooting a lot!

@daxshell242 3 года назад

nice review. would love to see how this lens does on a z6. feels like a better option than the 24 - 70 f/4. I have a 24 - 70 f/2.8, but strongly considering selling it. originally i saw it as the most flexible of all lenses, but the more i use it, the more i see it as the compromise of all lenses. the IQ is not as good as prime. In low light, i am probably switching to a prime anyway. The f2.8 might offer better depth of field than an f/4, but 120 f/4 will give the same bokeh as 70 f/2.3, and a more flattering perspective for portraits. Unless you are shooting events/portraits, I'm seeing this as a better option than 24 70 f2.8

@edc5338 2 года назад

Great video. I used to have this lens but got the Sigma 24-105 f4 and I personally found it to be sharper although it is a heavy beast! My usual walk around lens is the Nikon 24-85 lens, probably one of the sharpest mid range zooms out there although it has a variable aperture.

@rafski123 4 года назад

I got mine in Taiwan for around US$400 at a used lens store. Love it for day street photos and travel. For night I use the Tamron 24-70 f2.8, but that one is really heavy and much prefer this f4 lens for day use, it's half the weight and built to take a beating.

@GaryInSoCal 7 месяцев назад

This is a great lens. Shot a few dozen weddings with it on my D750... all clients were happy... sharp images with strong contrast... effective VR... I strongly recommend it.

@dicklloyd9584 Год назад

I shoot with a Nikon D750 and have done for a few years. I have a few prime lenses, such as the 24m f/2.8D, which I have been using for landscapes, the 85mm f/1.8D which I normally use for portraits, and the Tokina 100mm f/2.8 which I use for Macro. I recently bought a used 24-120mm f/4 G VR ED lens (for around £240) and I am blown away by its quality. I haven't had much opportunity to use it much, but, so far, I think it is one of the best value for money lenses that I have ever purchased, particularly when paired to my D750.

@artsilva 4 года назад

Glad you posted this. I am thinking of going back to Nikon and was wondering about this lens. I want the D850 for specific reasons but this D780 w/the 24-120mm F4 deal for everything else I shoot looks pretty attractive for those of us looking to keep our camera bags light.

@kennypringle4580 3 года назад

I’ve owned a Nikon 24-120 f4 lens and I really liked it a lot, image quality was very good, but it’s only an f4 lens. I also have a DX d7200 body and a 16-80 f2.8-4 DX lens that I believe is at least as sharp if not sharper, AND it has f2.8-4 when not zoomed out.

@MarkvanVaals 4 года назад

Agreed 500 is a good price for this lens. But the Tamron 24-70mm 2.8 G2 is pretty much the same size and price (if bought separate) and a much better lens with crazy good stabilization (great for video) you should rent it to see what you think.

@estoylisto 3 года назад

The Tamron is faster with 2.8 ...yet the Nikon has more reach with 120mm (including the 85mm and 105mm focal lengths which are favorable by many portraits photographers)... I don't have either but weighing my options to choose one) this lens can be found for about 500$ dollars new (unused pre-owned ) while the tamron would cost 800-900$ for the same condition... beside I expect the Nikon will adapt better with a Z camera if I decided to move to mirrorless... Tamron 24-70 2.8 g2 would be a good choice yet I'm leaning to the Nikon

@MarkvanVaals 3 года назад

@@estoylisto You should be able to find a 24-85mm VR lens for $200-250 and that is a great portable lens that you can keep even if you upgrade since it's nice for travel, being so small and light. Would be my suggestion for a cheap but great "normal" (aka 24-70+) zoom lens.

Good kit & combination. Today I would prefer a second hand z7 + 24-120 z mount (Sharper , less heavy, 45 Mpix (and lens becoming a 30-180mm in DX format keeping the definition of the d780) for not a lot more : z7 2nd hand 1500 euros + z 24-120 = 1250 / total = 2750 euros vs the kit 2600 euros… For thé z7 you need to add one expensive xdf and a card reader ( tot = 150€) so 10% more than your kit but it s another World… and it just the price of the A7iv WITHOUT any lens… For me it s the best plan for 2022. Note that There are now a lot of z7 on second market due to z7ii… but with the last firmware 3.4 on z7 the upgrade to the z7ii is not mandatory at all.

@davisdurand 4 года назад

I have commented many times on RU-vid videos about this lens. It is an extraordinary kit lens. I have the holy trinity of lenses for my Nikon d750, but rarely use them. This is my go to lens. The vibration reduction is outstanding. Rarely get a shot out of focus. I see where they brag about th Fuji 18-55 f2.8-4, and I'm sure it is a good kit lens, but has nowhere the range of the Nikon 24-120. You can't go wrong with this lens if you have a Nikon camera. I bought mine used for $500, because the guy who sold it didn't want a kit lens. He thinks like a lot of people that kit lenses are not very good. That's the main reason you will see them on the internet selling for a lower price.

@jameswalker7941 4 года назад

I think camera companies are all doing great at making usable kit lenses these days. Canon's EOS R/RP both come with a 24-105 f4, even their full frame dslrs are coming with one, Nikon has a 24 - 105 f4 and the 24 - 120, Fuji has 18 - 55 f2.8, or the 16 - 80 f4...however, lots of people saying Fuji 18 - 55 2.8-4 is best...sure, it is, on a crop sensor camera. But it is also important to bear in mind that 2.8 on a crop sensor is equivalent to f4 on full frame, in terms of DoF. So you're technically not getting anything more than what you'd get with an f4 lens on FF, except maybe a stop of light at most, which considering that FF handles high ISO better anyway, is negligible. That being said, it is still the best first lens for a Fuji system imo though, great cost to quality ratio.

This looks like it will be my main go to lens for a while. I imagine you have used this lens so what is your take on it? Do you think it is the way to go for a walk around general lens

Where is the first scene? That looks insane!

Thanks Evan great review. I don't own a zoom but I think on this camera it makes sense to buy.

I use my kit lens for video as well. It's an older kit lens so it's as good as yours but it gets the job done.

I own the excellent D780 and I am trading my Nikon 28-300 in for a used Nikon 24-120 F/4. The 28-300 has been a disappointment with lack of sharpness and not great VR. My D780 deserves better.

Should i buy this? I need a lense for maximum range for personal photography and natutre.

@JerryRevolution 4 года назад

Yeah idk a 24 to 120 was possible to be that compact. Nice.

Fuji 18-55 OIS F2.8-4 Best Kit I’ve used to date!

@davisdurand 4 года назад

Doesn't have the range of the 24-120, but I'm sure it is a good lens. Fuji is a good brand.

@martinsmyth5580 4 года назад

Hi, Evan thanks for all the great videos do you find it better than the fuji 18-55 kit kens or have you used that one cheers :)

I am using the old AF 28-85 3,5-4,5 on my D750, which is a great standard zoom. Certainly, it has no vr, but I bought it for only 60,- and it is a great value for that money!

@vaibhavravichandran 4 года назад

I bought this open box for $550 and it's probably my most used lens ever!

@julianhieu5252 3 года назад

I bought this lens for 230€. It looks and works like new.

Probably a great time to shoot in NYC with a minimum of crowd traffic... but where do you find a place to eat or, uh, need some of that rarity (tp!)

@donnlowel2387 Год назад

I bought one of these it's a great lens, $250 pristine condition happy that I didn't spend thousands of dollars for 24-70. Would anyone care what lens I use, probably not. If one day this lens break on me I'll buy the same lens.

@ThePictualist 3 года назад

Being 8 years in covering events, I've trade in my 24-70 to this lens with a big smile and a happy shoulder. HAHA Don't forget mentioning the extra space you have in your bag. 24-120 is all you need!

@EfthimiaAthan 4 года назад

So, do you prefer this lens over 24-70 or will you sell it in the future?

@Mistrzunio95 4 года назад

Best kit Lens for Nikon d7500 ? 18-140mm is the best?

@adrenalinemadness3340 4 года назад

What you think about the 18-140mm? Or the 55-200mm?

@MikeLunc 3 года назад

Used the kit for the first 3 years of my career

@tjvisuals 3 года назад

Should I get it for 300€ used???

@pina06355 4 года назад

A big reason why it's such a great lens that people don't understand is that it's has "N" coated optics. It makes a difference and l will shoot any Nikon lens with that coating.

@mrinsaf 4 года назад

i used it on my d750 almost exclusively, tried to go for a viewing of 35mmf2d and it couldnt compare at all with this kit lens, this lens has better sharpness better contrast even when both at f4
