Versatile FX Zoom Lens

The Nikon AF FX NIKKOR 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF is a 3.5x zoom lens covering wide-angle to short telephoto focal lengths from 24mm to 85mm. It is designed for Nikon DSLR cameras using the FX format and features internal focusing. The variable maximum aperture reaches f/2.8 at the wide end for brighter low-light performance.

Optical Design Features

Nine rounded diaphragm blades create a natural blur for out-of-focus elements in portraits and landscapes. Hybrid and molded-glass aspherical elements work together to deliver higher optical performance across the zoom range. The lens achieves a maximum 1:2 reproduction ratio between 35mm and 85mm focal lengths for close-up capability.

Suited for Travel and Portraits

Photographers wanting a single lens for landscapes, full-length portraits and travel will find the range useful. Buyers who need a constant maximum aperture throughout the zoom range should look at other options. Those requiring focal lengths wider than 24mm or longer than 85mm will need additional lenses.

Questions about this item

How often should the nine-blade diaphragm be cleaned to keep out-of-focus blur natural?

The rounded nine-blade diaphragm is sealed inside the lens barrel and does not require routine cleaning; only front and rear glass surfaces need occasional care.

What optical limit appears first when shooting continuously at the 24mm f/2.8 setting?

At 24mm the maximum aperture is f/2.8, so depth of field becomes shallow and any focus shift or diffraction at smaller stops will show before the lens reaches a mechanical limit.

How warm does the lens barrel get and how much noise does the autofocus motor make during all-day use?

The lens uses a screw-drive autofocus system powered by the camera body, so motor noise and heat depend on the camera used; the barrel itself stays near ambient temperature in normal operation.
