The 24-85 has less distortion because of the smaller range. Both are great lenses for walk arounds. Obviously weight becomes a factor after carrying it for a while. The older you get the more important less weight becomes. I don't think you can go wrong with either lens as a walk around.
Thanks Leon S

24-120. if you think you might be in a low light situation, a 50 f1.8 or 35 prime would be small and not so expensive. (I always carry one around but seldom use it)
Thanks ElNikkor - your suggestion is useful; it'd just I don't want to carry around two lens

Thanks Roy G - I plan to use the lens indoor and outdoor and possibly in some low light situations; as you have suggested I can compensate for the light with lowering the shutter speed.

I am considering the 24-120; it's to be used on Nikon D 610. If I need to use it in low light situation I could lower the shutter speed as suggested by a few members.Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean, but to compensate for less light coming through the lens, you would need to slow the shutter speed so the shutter will remain open longer to allow more light in.
You are correct.
Thanks
You are correct.

Both are very good lenses and I don't think you would be disappointed with either one. The 24-85mm is slightly faster on the short end and slightly slower on the long end. In addition to having a longer reach the 24-120mm has 9 aperture blades to the 24-85mm having 7 blades. The 24-85mm is smaller and lighter than the 24-120mm.
Whatever you decide, I'm sure you will be happy with your choice. Enjoy.

Would increasing the shutter speed on the 24-120 compensate for the low light? I had made the comment earlier but still ask the question
Thanks

Thanks to Mac and camerapapi for your input

Thanks trustforce - I will consider the 24-120 and increase the shutter speed to compensate for the light situation.

This topic might have discussed before but I probably missed it.Going overseas to Europe in a couple of months and need an all around lens
to carry with me. My first choice is the Nikon 24-70 f2.8 but because of economic reason have decided to give some consideration to Nikon 24-85
or Nikon 24-120. Any thought/suggestions would be useful to help me make a decision. Thanks in advance.

I wonder how sharp a contrast is the 24-70 compared to the 24-120. Cost aside I might consider that path

Thanks Gene51; Manglesphoto; Goofynewfie; and Trustforce. Trustforce your idea is what I gaining my attention because I don't want to be switching lens. Moreover, I am also thinking about the weight.

I am told that it is 1lb less in weight which would make it manageable

Hello fellow UHH members. I had a Nikon 24-70 F/2.8 VR Lens that I purchased to use on my D610 Camera and sold it because it was too heavy to carry around. I am now looking at the 24-120 F/4 lens as a replacement. I am aware that the 24-120 is not as fast as the 24-70; I am thinking that I could increase the ASA to fill in some of the void in regards to light. Any opinion suggestions is appreciated. I am going overseas to Europe in a couple of months. Many thanks in advance
