  I have had this specific lens attached to my D7500 for almost a year. Maybe even longer. I found it on sale from abroad for just over 450€. For that price and a little more, it is perfect. Perhaps the only downside for some people is its weight, which is something you get used to after a while. I also agree that it is ideal for traveling, especially in moments when you don't have time to change lenses. I have easily captured everything from birds in the air to landscapes, macro, and astrophotography. Anyone who wants can take a look at https://www.instagram.com/lamprinos_thanasis/

  One month has passed with the lens in my hands on the D750 that came as a kit. I took about 3,000 clicks with it. It is a lens that does it all and is cost-effective. I did product photography with a combo of 2 studio flashes, I did landscape, long exposure, went to the sea and tried to capture the waves through it, took pictures of airplanes and running steamboats, fell in the mud with it while testing its VR active mode, and looked up at the sky hoping to see the Milky Way, and here are my conclusions:

  Firstly, I must say that I am extremely bothered by the minimum distance of 45cm from my subject because it mainly deprives me of the ability to capture what I have in mind in wide-angle shots.
  Secondly, the lens hood bothers me. It is quite bulky although useful, of course.
  I would like the lens to come with a case for the belt because the case with a hard bottom provided by Nikon is not convenient.
  In many photos, I had to intervene in post-production to remove vignetting.

  Let's move on to the positives. The 24-120 is the most convenient focal length lens I have ever had. It truly made my life easy.
  Other than that, it is a sturdy lens, heavy, and reliable. Its VR does not produce miracles, but it does its job well where it should. Fortunately, due to work and the presence of a flash, low shutter speeds and high ISO to achieve good results are not an issue.
  The AF is flawless and silent. Perhaps slightly slower than Nikon's 70-200, which I think gives lessons in fast AF (also tested on the D750).

  So, we have a fast, sharp enough for its focal length, reliable lens that deserves to be in every photographer's bag. If you go on a trip with only ONE lens, this would be the one. If you had this one and wanted another, then the clear choice would be a 50mm f/1.8.

  I use the Nikon 50mm 1.4G and Nikon 24-120mm/4G and Samyang 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC.

  It's not like prime lenses, okay, but I think in all the cases I needed it, it performed well. The autofocus is a bit slow, but the bokeh is incredible for a lens that is not intended for such use. It is also brighter than I expected. The weight is normal for such a lens. The build quality is very good.

  I have it on a Nikon D750 body and I bought it new for €450 from abroad

  As soon as it came out of the box, it has a problem with the zoom. I have purchased extended warranty, but they informed me that (bring it to the service center so we can send it and we don't know how long the repair return will take, we don't know if it will be opened or replaced).
  Of course, if someone opens the lens.. the lens is gone...
