The label says ZOOM lens, but only specifies 60X. This is a fixed lens, is it not?

I think it is a fixed lens, but you can make minor adjustments for focus. I was using it for photographing snowflakes, and the fact that it can adjust caused some issues with keeping them in focus. You want to lay the phone on something horizontal like a book that will hold it steady.

Fixed lens and works for magnification of items that are place under the lens not at a distance

yes it a fixed lens; and like all the accessories for the new cameras it is just a novelty; cute, works sort of, plastic.

No, not exactly. It is a fixed focus lens. For making portraits it's really fantastic!

It does not come with a 60x objective lense so you cannot achieve 600x magnification. It can do 1000x. You could also buy a 60x objective separately.

Yes. It is an FX (full frame) lens and you can verify the lens format at http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/AF-Zoom-Nikkor-24-85mm-f%252F2.8-4D-IF.html

No, there is no means to fix the lens to a specific focal length. The total length of zoom ring travel is just shy of 90 degrees, end to end. The demarcation on the zoom ring, L to R as seen looking down at it as if it were attached to the body, is 24 - 20 - 18 - 16 - 15 - 14. The only hard control is the Manual/Auto autofocus switch.

No, it's a fixed zoom lens. Look into the Sony RX1 if you want to be able change out lenses. Or the NEX series...

No. It's a static lens. Think of it like a large body point and shoot, with a really big zoom.

The 20X is advertised as "Intelligent Zoom". That is not the same as optical zoom. The ad clearly states that the camera is 10X optical zoom.

LENS that it comes with is fixed. Honestly you really wouldn't need to change the LENS the macro and the zoom are perfect. Low light is amazing as well.

Maybe due to focal length they are classifying it as fixed zoom but I would disregard. Focal length is equivalent to 45mm on FX.

it's kind of pointless to AF fine tune with a zoom, since AF fine tune works best with single focal lengths. with AFFT, you can only set focus for one focal length, i.e., if you tweak it to work at 17mm, you'll be off at 50mm. you might have to send the camera and the lens in to to Sigma to have them perfectly calibrated.

Another possibility. The lens will actually zoom (optically) to 28X+ mag at lower resolutions. As stated in the owners manual with possible (I forget the exact wording) degradation of the image. Is it possible you may using a lower res?

It depends on the focal length of your lens and it's speed (I mean open aperture value). Try to set the zoom lens at 90 mm approximately.

Technically, it's an FX lens. In other words, it will cover the full frame format sensor. However, I use this lens on a DX format camera. Since the DX sensor is smaller the end result is that this lens becomes a 120mm to 600mm! The smaller sensor nets you an additional 1.5X magnification. It will work on either format. I mount this zoom on my D7100 (DX) body which has an additional 1.3x crop factor built in! That way, the 600mm, effectively becomes 780mm! The images are crisp as one can expect from Nikon.

It doesn't say what cameras it fits. But it does mount to already existing camera lens. Says compatibility 52,55,or 58mm mount. Beware, this is not a zoom. It just makes it more defined. "HD"

Yes. This measurement means that it has variable magnification. It will magnify from 20x to 60x zoom. The "x80mm" number describes the diameter of the objective lens ( the one farthest from your eye) . the larger the objective lens, the more light it captures = brighter picture.

it will not stay on focus ring- so I guess it for zoom only. Good question- if people can get it to stay on the focus ring they must have a wide ring. wont stay on any my canon lenses.
