Nikon announcement of the AF-S 24-120mm f/4 VR is a direct competition with the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 IS. It features:

  • Standard 5x zoom lens covering 24-120mm focal range with a constant maximum aperture of f/4
  • Vibration Reduction (VR II) provides the equivalent of a shutter speed approximately four stops faster; two modes are available — Normal and Active
  • Nano Crystal Coat virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections to effectively reduce ghost and flare
  • Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and three aspherical lens elements minimize lens aberrations for superior picture quality
  • Two focus modes selectable — M/A and M

Here is a comparison between the Nikon AF-S 24-120mm f/4 VR and Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 IS
