Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR Lens

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR Lens
Versatile Full-Frame Standard Zoom – 4-Stop VR II Image Stabilization, Silent Wave Motor & ED Optics (Includes Front & Rear Caps, Dedicated Lens Hood)

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR is a versatile standard zoom lens designed for FX-format full-frame and DX-format Nikon F-mount cameras. Covering wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives (36-127.5mm equivalent on DX bodies), this walkaround lens serves as an all-in-one option for everyday photography, landscapes, travel, and environmental portraits.

Optically, the lens incorporates three precision aspherical elements and one Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass element to reduce spherical distortion, chromatic aberrations, and color fringing across the zoom range. Individual optical elements feature Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating (SIC) to minimize internal reflections, lens flare, and ghosting for accurate contrast and color rendition under direct light. Nikon’s VR II (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization offers up to four stops of camera shake compensation for handheld shooting in low light. Powered by a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and an Internal Focus (IF) mechanism, it delivers fast, quiet autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override while keeping the overall physical length fixed during operation.
