The Nikkor 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6 VR is a very popular optic, thanks to its convenient focal length range and its use of Nikon's "VR" (Vibration Reduction) technology. The VR technology lets you hand-hold shots in low light conditions, at shutter speeds as much as three stops slower than you'd be able to otherwise. - The impact of this is hard to overstate for many amateur shooters, a market the 24-120 is clearly targeted at.
Unfortunately, there's rarely a free lunch, and the downside of the 24-120's excellent capabilities and relatively affordable price is that it just isn't terribly sharp at anything close to its maximum aperture, and the very best results require stopping it down quite a bit. Its "sweet spot" ranges from f/8 at 24mm, to f/11 at 50-85mm, to f/16 at 120mm. At minimum aperture, images are very soft from 50mm (f/30) through 120mm (f/32).
Chromatic aberration is for the most part in the "average" range (about 0.06% of picture height) across the span of focal lengths, lower at smaller apertures from 50-85mm, but more or less constant with respect to aperture at both the wide and tele end. While the maximum CA isn't any higher than many lenses though, the average value is a bit higher than average. - This may indicate that the aberration extends further into the frame than with some other lenses.
Exposure uniformity is one bright spot with this lens though, as the light falloff in the corners of the frame is only about 1/4 f-stop at maximum wide angle and aperture, and decreases significantly as the lens is stopped down or the focal length increased. (Anywhere other than wide open at wide angle, maximum falloff is less than 1/10 of a stop. ) Geometric distortion is fairly typical, about 0.6% barrel at maximum wide angle, switching to about 0.25% pincushion at 50mm, and then decreasing slightly to 0.2% pincushion at 120mm.
So what's the bottom line for the 24-120mm? For the money, it would probably make a great "vacation" lens, where you only want to lug along one lens on a trip, and so want one that can cover a wide range of focal lengths, yet still deliver reasonably good picture quality. Its VR capability likewise makes it well suited to travel situations, where you're less likely to be hauling a tripod along as well. We'd like the lens a lot better if it were a bit sharper at larger apertures, but for a one-lens solution, it's one of the better choices in Nikon's arsenal.
