The Nikkor 24-120 used to be a good walk around. However, it has been replaced by a G version with VR which does not come with the aperture ring therefore not suitable for your camera. You may want to try the 28-105.

AIS lenses cost more, not value for money. Unless you want to get it used.

28-105 is AF lens wo, I think FG-20 is MF camera.

Yes, its AF and usable on MF. I believe there isn't any G replacement for this lens, so its still has the aperture ring which MF body required.

But the “手感” not good, for AF lens.

Agreed, not the "geary" feel but rather turning the ring like gliding through... er.. butter?

He is just talking about "feel". To me its just secondary. I still suggest the 28-105.

28-105
35-105
35-135...

I have used them all and am still holding on to the 35-105. For wide angle shots, have a 24mm. I use the FTn, FM2 as my manual cameras.

fm- 2 is the more popular camera for manual. but i have a fg- 20 on habd so no point in getting a new one....
