- I got my hands on the 24-120 f/4G ED VR lens from Nikon (thanks to Roberts Camera). This is a GREAT lens capable of working on both full like the Nikon D850 and crop sensors like the D3500. I paired this lens with my trusty D3400 and headed to the mountains for a photo adventure!:)
What went wrong? The lens preformed with tack sharp results without issue, however bouldering down a rock face in the dark is not the best idea:).

Glad to see that you are OK Mark. Keep up the great work! 😎
Great to hear you're all ok! Hope you take care and it all becomes just an interesting experience eventually. Thanks for all the videos! I started watching your channel almost three years ago when I became interested in the world of photography, and now I have my own D3500 and still learning watching them, thx a lot for making this kind of videos :)
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) You date back 3 years and hopefully have enjoyed the ride:). I am thinking about creating a video giving my thoughts on the current state of photography. The landscape of photography appears to be changing but existing gear is more than adequate for most situations:).
Just come across your channel recently.
I love how you use inexpensive gear to take great photos.
And also how you take something simple like a leaf or a sign and make an interesting picture.
Just bought another nikon and you are teaching me a lot.
Also love some of the music you use in your videos.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I may create a video showcasing one or two photos start to finish - stay tuned:).
First of all, it's a pleasure to see both of you fine. I love your videos because you stick to the basic models. When one has D810 or D850 along with f/2.8 or f/1.4 or 1.2 lenses, there is hardly any chances of going wrong. On the contrary, it's a challenge to pull out with a crop body coupled with kit lenses or at best f/1.8 lenses. Will wait for more videos.
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help:). Crop sensor and kit lenses are fully capable as a bit of knowledge and experience go a long way:).
No word to say, i just love it.
Another great video and so pleased to see you are still using a DSLR like the D3400. There is a big push towards mirrorless, and I was almost tempted with the Nikon Z50, so I could keep my lenses, but after going for a long walk with my D7200 with both my kit lens (18-55 I got with my D3500) and my second hand 55 - 300 Nikon I realised there is nothing the D7200 can't handle at my level, so I am sticking with it. But got hold of a new camera bag instead. That incident could have been very ugly but they happen so easily, glad to see you are safe.
Thanks for the post/feedback Alan:). I shot with the D7000 for many years and even took it with me to shoot the 100th running of the Indy 500. I had pit passes and captured shots for various sponsors some of which used resulting images on billboards and publications. I believe awesome images are not so much about the gear as they are about the photographer's ability to use the gear and compose a shot:). Enjoy the D7200 and keep shooting!:)
I use this lens on my D800 for landscape and woodland photography, absolutely love, its also got the 2nd generation VR on it too which is extremely good. Glad you've recovered from your fall my friend.
Thanks for the post/feedback Daniel!:) This lens really shines on the full sensor in my opinion:).
I'm so glad that you're ok... Oh my goodness... Thanks for another great video sir. And I'm glad you still enjoy that trip amd spending time with family. And glad its only a scar just a remembrance haha
TY and agreed ... still have a great time and a scar to remember the event:).
I am here 3 years late but I am so glad that both of you got out fine. Thanks for the review, your reviews helped me a lot from getting my first Nikon dslr to later lenses and camera bodies.
(I am late to comment as well:)) thanks for the post/feedback!:)
Honestly happy to see ur videos again.... My first camera was d3400 and i love it. Sadly i had to sell it. But will get back to it someday and continue my photography adventures 😁keep it up!
Thanks for the post and sorry you had to sell the D3400 ... I suspect you can find a used one when ready:).
Glad you are ok!!
Hey, Mark. Always a breeze to watch your videos. I have that 24-120mm which came with my D750. Awesome lens. BTW, glad you're safe. 👍🙏
Thanks for the post/feedback Darren!:) I really like the D750 - a solid full sensor body which I suspect plays very well with the 24-120 albeit a reality heavy rig:).
Even with the scar you never lose your smile.
Keep going and stay safe too Mark.
Greetings from Germany and I'm staying tuned :)
Thanks for the post!:) I always try to keep a positive outlook regardless of the situation:).
Hi Mark, thank goodness you're OK, that could have turned out SO much worse... but it does reinforce the advice you give about taking care .. Still, every day's a school day, and the photography gods were on your side! . As ever interesting content, sound advice and enjoyable to watch. What is so refreshing is that you're honest enough to own when things go wrong, so that others can learn from all your experience.
Thanks for the post/feedback Steve:). Agreed - could have been soooo much worse, and I should have been more on-point. It was a risky setup to start:).
Glad you are ok...Amazing video as usual, learnt a lot. Thank you Mark
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:)
@@RealWorld welcome
Stay safe, have even more fun. Happy to hear it was not bad.
Another great video. I have a Nikon D5600 recently bought the D780 body; I started looking for a lens to replace my 18-200mm lens that's now having issues focusing. This lens video came right on time. Good to know, I can use this 28-120 lens for both bodies.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I started having issues w/ my 18-200 as well and have turned to the 24-120:).
Oh man. I'm glad you are OK. Take care mate. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:)
Take care. glad to see you ok.
Your videos are the best. I just got a nikon d5600 my first dslr..Im learning so much from your videos
Thanks for the post Stephan and glad to be of help!:) The D5600 is a solid/capable camera ... enjoy the ride and capture some good memories along the way:)/
Realworld You are Awesome, this is my second response. I Truly luv your using a D-3400 entry level Camera, from this you are showing Great Talent.! 👍
Second the Nikon 24-120mm VR f4, is one of my Truly favorite Lens for overall use, it just does the Job, and thats what I like. It's so funny, I wanted someone such as Yourself to show what was capable of exactly these 2 devices, And I can't believe you Reviewed Exactly the pair together, And YOU are exactly the Photographer that I wanted to Review the 2 exact devices, talking "Karma you did it"
I guess your in "The Circle" again ThankYou.!
Will follow Your Reviews a 100% percent, Remember you are Awesome.!!! Again Thanks.!!!

Thanks for the post Daniel and glad to be of help!:) The 24-120 is a great/solid option and works very well with the 3000 series.
Hey Mark, I always enjoy your videos and your music too. We have not seen your daughter in some time so good to see her. I have learned so much from your videos! I love the camera but if I could change anything I would add bracketing as a feature and fix the difficult snap-bridge app. I hate to upgrade just for those two things so I continue to use the timer and manual bracket myself. Thank you for these videos. I know they are time consuming and your passion excites a novice like me.
Thanks for the post/feedback Tony and glad to be of help!:) Agreed regarding bracketing (would be nice) and snapbridge is challenging at best:).
Great vid and glad you're ok after what looked like a decent fall there. Looks like a pretty solid lens, though I'd probably have to shoot for the refurb one to save a bit of money. I've been shooting with an old D700 quite a bit lately and looking to expand my lens collection for it, only thing is the FX lenses cost more than most of my DX ones put together, lol.
Thanks for the post and agreed ... many lenses can cost more than older and not so older bodies:).
Thank you good sir for this informative video!
Ouch 😅 I love the downplayed humour in this video about having to follow your own advise.
Neat shots too! Pretty excellent lens 😊
:) ... thinking back to the fall, I experienced a momentary lapse of reason:).
Great to see everything have worked out ok. Great to see you having fun with your lovely daughter. Even though, for now at least, i'm not a Nikon user, i always enjoy watching your gear reviews, no matter which type or brand. Thank you for sharing. Take care out there.
Thanks for the post and appreciate your feedback:). I have used various cameras in the past and might make another switch relatively soon for various reasons ... stay tuned:).
@@RealWorld what brand are you planning on switching to? 😊
A bit late on the reply:). Nonetheless, I am taking a closer look at Sony as I appreciate the auto focus system.
@@RealWorld Yeah I totally understand why. While I dislike Sony as a brand, I'm still interested in their cameras ^.^
Man! Your amazing!
Thanks again for the review on The D3400 with The Nikon 24-120mm, I Truly luv this lens, its got that little more reach you need over The 24-70 that comes in quite handy at social events. And I new you were the one to explain with Specs & Setting. Ofcourse I do not mind The f/Stop starting at f/4,,, It still gives you an advantage.! But I needed Your view on this one.!!! Again kudos to you. This is the 3rd time Watching this Video. You are my favorite Professional on using entry & top end equipment.
Your explanation is on Top, luv u always include Settings of Lens and Camera settings beginning middle & end, I need that time to right it down,,, kudos to you and your lovely daughter... Your a Great Photography teacher.!

Hi Mark, I having been a daddy's girl, my first reaction to this video was, Aww! Dad with his girl. Then I reached the part where you began sharing the story of your night fall. Oh My! I listened with my mouth literally hung open in horror with my hand to my chest. I know, dramatic, but that was my reaction. Lol! I am so pleased, as others are, that you did not get seriously injured. Stay safe, be well!
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) It was an awesome time minus the fall, although the fall definitely made the trip memorable!:) Everything happens for a reason, and I am blessed to have walked away with only a sliced elbow:).
RealWorld review: I'm giving you kudos again this is my Video, I think you originally did this video to my request and want to Thank you a 3rd Time 5/27/24 Monday.
Just to let you know, I've watched this Video myself atleast 5 to 7 times.!
Your truly one of the Best.!!!
When reviewing your Video clips, I always watch intro Commercials always, all the way to end, for kudos to you.!
Yes

2.) Is Door bell video surveillance
You are Awesome
I hope all is well -- 🙏

Thanks for the post/feedback - much appreciated!:) I have been quiet for a relatively long time but plan to rollout some new videos soon - stay tuned and stay safe!:)
Another great video 👍 You were lucky with that fall, it could have been much worse! Stay safe
Thanks for the post Mark and fully agreed!:) I was blessed that night - it could have been much worse:).
Hi, I noticed some lint on the inside, practically where the focus points show me (on the inside screen. When I look in the wiew finder. Can you help me? How can I remove the lint needles. I took some pictures to the sky, if to r see the lint in the picture ..., I didn't see anything.
Thanks.
I had the same and used canned air to blow the debris out.
@@RealWorld Hy, used canned air to blow the debris out? I do not understand? Can you be a little more explicit? Thank you.
use canned air along with the thin extension tube. insert the tube into the view finder and spray. hopefully, this will remove any debris. :)
Ouch!! Stay safe.
Love your videos, i hope you continue with the good work!!
PS: thank GOD that nothing wrong happens to you
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) All is good and I have a nice scar to remember the trip!:)
Hey Mark, this really is a nice review again using d3400. Did you also use your d3400 to shoot your videos?
Thanks for the post/feedback James:). I used my DJI Osmo to film all video. I did a review on the Osmo which can be found here - th-cam.com/video/vHn_28HaAD8/w-d-xo.html
@@RealWorld thank you, i will surely watch your video on DJI Osmo
Cropped camera it is looking down the "sweet" spot of the lens...but how much distortion/pincushion is there on the DX lens? B4 cropping! :)
anytime i use a large zoom range lens, i try to stay relatively close to the middle. the 24-120 is not bad at all compared to other lenses like the 18-300, 18-400, etc. :)
Another great video by you my brother. I think God you were not hurt no more than you was. You and your daughter had a wonderful time together that is so important to be with family. God bless you, keep up the great work I’m look forward to see your next great video. God bless America.
Thanks for the post/feedback! :) I was blessed to spend time with my daughter and walk away from the fall. :)
Amen
My goodness, that drop looks a long way down. You were very lucky! Glad you got to survive to tell a good story.
Thanks Leon ... yes, I feel blessed to have walked away with only a sliced elbow - could have been much worse:).
Glad you're ok
LOL - you and me both!:) That could have been sooooo much worse:).
With my Nikon D750 24-120 I have done weddings, portraits, and street photography. This is my go all around. I swear by this. I tend to shoot at 70 - 120 as I like close up picks.
Thanks for the post Robert ... that is a great combination. The D750 is a solid full sensor camera that I have recommended over the last few years:).
Great video..👍👍
What DX lens (longer than 70-300mm if there is any) you will suggest for Nikon 5**** series dslr ?
Thanks for the post/feedback ... I like the Tamron 18-400 lens th-cam.com/video/CfDfu8sK-o0/w-d-xo.html
@@RealWorld thank you Sir 🙏
Hope you are ok now. Take care and stay safe.
ty - all is good!:)
Glad your ok mark 👍
Thanks Craig!:) Could have been much worse and glad to only have a scarred elbow to show for it:).
Nikon 18 55 vs Tamron 18 200 (picture quality ). Plz suggest
Get the Tamron 18-200mm. With this lens, nothing beats that extra reach than if you stay with the 18-55mm. Besides, the latter is just a kit lens anyway which comes with any Nikon DX body.
Image quality on both is tack sharp without any major issues in my opinion. I shot with the Tamron 18-200 for many years and really enjoyed the lens. I would still be shooting with it today if not for the deal I received on a Nikon 18-200 (it came with a used camera I purchased from a friend). If you go for the Tamron, you will have extra reach and can leave the 18-55 on the shelf:).
Innocent Question : Does a heavy lens help to reduce "lens climb" after every "shot" is taken & stays on the "target" ? 🙄 🤔
Great question as some lenses will creep:). I did not notice any creep although I did not specially look for it. Given the weight, I would not be surprised to see some creep in it:).
I have recently started watching your videos and found them very informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone. There is one particular setting which I find tough for shooting photos, which is indoor party, specifically during evening times in a party hall kind of scene. It would be very helpful if you can make a video on it and share. Thank you again.
The reason that I am asking is, as there are my moments ( people talking to each other, dancing, moving around togther ) that are good to capture in their natural essence. Due to light conditions these shots become tough to capture.
Thanks for the post and I completely understand the need/desire to shoot inside photos:). This might make for a good video as well. I typically use an external flash and manual mode to capture various shots. Stay tuned as I may create a video one the topic:).
@@RealWorld thank you so much! When you explain, believe me, it becomes so easy to understand.
Glad to be of help:)
Dang Mark, be careful. You still gotta teach us how to use a compass! Lol! Glad your ok!
LOL - ahhhh yes, the compass!:) I took the compass with me and recall a handful of responses regarding additional gear. Yes, it could have been much worse - falling in the dark without knowing what lies below is an experience:).
Ouch! Glad you survived relatively unscathed Mark. Must have given you both a fright!
Thanks David and you are correct - when falling at night and unable to see, the anticipation of landing becomes a great challenge:).
I know I'm just another random person on the internet but whoa I'm glad that you're okay! Yikes. Be safe Mark (it is Mark right? or Mike?)
Mark it is and thx for the post!:) When I think back to the fall, wow - I was blessed to walk away with only a sliced elbow:).
Awesome review . Hi from Egypt 🇪🇬
thx and welcome from the United States!:)
nice pictures
Sir , You may wish to grab a few LED head torch/flashlight -- miner & diver style . I use a cheap one (cob led) while building or repairing PCs . Just put it atop my head & it floodlights everything in the direction where I turn my head to -- while keeping my hands free for work . Must be useful for you while camping at night 👍 👍 Take Care . God Bless .
Thanks for the post/tip:). I actually had a headlamp on but the beam was relatively narrow ... I was moving relatively quick and the base of the tree looked sound until my foot landed on it and my weight transferred. It was a very interesting experiences and one that I will learn from:).
Take care sir 🙂
Glad you two are ok. With your love of RRG, we may need to make you a Ky Colonel.
LOL - thx for the post:). Just returned from a photo adventure to Big South Fork (stay tuned as the video will be forthcoming). RRG and BSF are great - great to get out, relax, and unwind:).
i'm glad you're fine, greetings from pr
Thanks for the post Cody and hope all is well in PR:).
@@RealWorld Thank you my brother!
After shooting full frame for a few years I would not be able to accept the quality out of the D5600.
Thanks for the post/feedback:). I have shot both for many years and typically grab the crop as it is smaller and fully capable in most situations, however I do like the full sensors in low light and depth of field (great for portraits:)).
Bully for you spending quality time with your beautiful daughter.
Интересноый ролик , 👍
Hello. Why can't I download this video. Please make it downloadable, because I download videos for later, whenever I can get a chance to watch them.
Hmmmm - this should be doable by default.
Checked again. Still not happening...
Be Careful Sir...
Love from India 😊
Welcome from the United States:)

Aw, she's such a cutie
So this lens cost now 1400 bucks. That is a 40% price increase. Is the world going crazy?
