Nikon 24-120mm VR Samples

This page is a collection of photo samples taken with the Nikon 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G ED IF Autofocus VR Nikkor zoom lens, image galleries, user pictures and other examples that I’ve come across in forums, online communities, blogs and related websites. This should help in determining if the image quality of the Nikkor 24-120 meets your expectations.

Bear in mind that the majority of these photos are resized, and may have gone through post-processing, retouching or other edits. I just thought that it would be interesting to see, at a glance, what Nikon 24-120mm owners and users are shooting with their optic. Full-sized images, where available, will help with judging the image quality.

Nikon D700 plus 24-120 portraits

Chuck Canfield has a gallery of excellent studio and outdoor portraits, titled Lauren and Friends, taken professionally with the 24-120mm mounted on the D700.

Some of my favorites from that gallery are:

1. Image 076 — head and shoulders studio portrait


2. Image 206 — half-body portrait by the window, natural light


3. Image 210 — outdoor group portrait, backlit with a busy background — great for judging bokeh’;


4. Image 249 — half-body portrait, seated, studio
