AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR
I have been needing a lens of this size to use in the field. I have been using Nikon equipment for over 10 years now. I have done everything from landscape to wedding photography and this lens is amazing. The size and weight are great but the glass and the sharpness of the images meets and exceeds my expectation. Good job Nikon.

An excellent everday lens for your DX camera
Bravo to Nikon for making better/faster glass for the DX range of cameras. For getting some great images, and carrying around daily, this lens offers a great zoom range, with some of Nikon's better features (nano coating etc...). The build quality is better than the standard DX lenses, and offers a faster focus motor. The build does a great job of keeping it tough (for a lens) while keeping down the weight you will find with metal lenses. The picture quality is excellent (just check out the many sample images from users online). I bought this lens as part of the D500 kit.

Love this lens!
After buying this lens I have sold all my other "walk-around" lenses. Sometimes I wish it had a touch more zoom but the quality of the images more than makes up for that.

Nice lens, poor support
I bought this lens with the D500 almost a year ago and have been quite happy with its performance. It produces sharp images and with the 16-80mm (24-120mm with crop factor on DX body), it offers a large range of focal lengths in a compact, light configuration. Unfortunately, I recently noticed a small piece of debris on the center of inside front element of the lens. This did not seem to affect images. But still, it should not be there in a $1,100 lens. After calling Nikon I was lead to believe

Great investment
This lense works well and gives you extra zoom when needed. I use this for landscapes and portraits. I even used it for a wedding during the reception. Pictures came out great. Also great for nighttime pics.

Go to DX lens for my D7200 in all conditiona
Picked this lens up ~2 years used. Hands down the best DX lens I've used on my Nikon DX. I mainly shoot landscapes and architecture. This lens excels in most any conditions. I have B+W filters on this lens and love the results with the circular polarizer. True colors and crisp details. Good in low light situations such as sunset/sunrise. I've been tempted to try the 18-300 zoom but I don't want to put this lens down for an all-in-one because the results can't be as good.

Great lens........but
I love this lens on my D7100. It is small, comparatively, lightweight and sturdy. It is also very sharp. It does have distortion, but that can be corrected easily. My only issue, and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is the zoom range that has 2.8 speed is very short. 16-22mm. I wish the body were a little bigger/wider so the 2.8 speed was longer, or better yet, constant throughout the zoom range. Beyond that, I'm very happy and will use the lens as my everyday prime.

Fast, crisp, low cost and light weight - fills a hole nicely!
This is undoubtedly a great lens. The cropped format gave us the benefit of increased reach and initially using only the centre of older lens. Later the quality of low cost zoom lens improved until there really is little need for a prime lens unless you are a “pixel peeper” – so good are the results. Until recently, it wasn’t possible to get a low cost (this is 1/3 of the next Nikon) and low weight (this is half the weight) for an ultra wide lens. When I started out with a DSLR in 2002 I

Wow. Awesomely Impressive
I waited a few months to give this lens an honest workout, and can sum it up concisely: WOW, it's worth the investment. I have several Nikon/Nikkor lenses and this blows them all away, even my primes. I actually used my (cheap) AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR 99% of the time for walking around, because it outperformed all my other lenses for most applications... but sadly I dropped it and broke the autofocus. Replacing that 18-55 with this AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR was

Good Lens for Great Price
I bought this lens like a couple of weeks back and have used it for Astro Photography and I am pretty much satisfied with this lens performance, It took really amazing pics. I am not sure how to focus to infinity would be been much better if they have that feature on the lens
