  • The 16-85mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 is an admirable lens; excellent sharpness and chromatic aberration results, marred only by some distortion and vignetting issues. However, I'm happy to see Nikon engineers giving sharpness the top priority, as this is the one factor ...

  • Flexible range with 24mm wide-angle, Effective Vibration Reduction, Relatively quick and quiet SWM focusing, Metal lens mount with rubber sealing.
  • Telephoto shorter than some kit zooms, Barrel shadow at 16mm with popup flash, DX 18-200mm VR available at similar price, Reports of undesirable bokeh around 50mm.
  • As we said at the start of this page, the Nikkor DX 16-85mm VR is a quality general-purpose lens which delivers a useful range with decent optical and build quality, along with Vibration Reduction to combat camera-shake. In other lens catalogues, it w...
