Boasts high optical performance, constant f/4 aperture and versatile 24-120mm focal range.

The lens is a single-element plastic Dakon lens, with a fixed focal range between 2 meters (6 feet) and infinity.

Thomas Sutton and George Dawson define focal range for what we now call hyperfocal distance:

What is not clear, however, is whether the focal range they cite was computed, or empirical.

It also has a switch for focal range, to reduce focus hunting when macro capability is not needed.

A constant-aperture f/2 sounds pretty decent, and "8x" optical zoom sounds good, but there's no mention of what equivalent focal range that covers.

Its versatile focal range and optical performance make it a great choice for use with Nikon digital SLR cameras.

The distances were too short for the camera's focal range, and you saw mostly the young woman's hair, which, blurred, looked like some matted bathroom rug.

Photographers using APS-C cameras must apply a crop factor of 1.6x, effectively bringing the focal range to 160-640mm.

The camera also has a macro capability (5 cm minimum focal range at 1x zoom).
