The Nikkor AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G VR is an affordable general-purpose zoom that's compatible with full-frame Nikon FX bodies. Announced in June 2012, it's arguably the successor to the Nikon AF 24-85mm f/2.8-4D from 2000.

Nikon released the 24-85mm ƒ/3.5-4.5 VR in June of 2012, providing an economically priced wide-to-medium zoom lens for FX (full-frame) camera bodies.
