Amazon.com Product Description:
The compact and highly versatile Nikon 16-85mm wide-angle-to-medium telephoto zoom lens is ideal for a broad range of shooting situations, from interiors and landscapes to portraits. The lens is equipped with Nikon's Vibration Reduction technology, which minimizes the effects of camera shake. This allows handheld shooting at up to four shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, producing dramatically sharper images at distance. The lens also offers two extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass elements, which minimize chromatic aberration to produce superior sharpness and color correction, and three aspherical lens elements, which virtually eliminate coma effects and other flaws, even when used at the widest aperture. And photojournalists will love the exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM), which facilitates accurate, high-speed, ultra-quiet autofocusing.
Other features include a Super Integrated Coating (SIC) that offers superior color performance and reduced ghosting and flare; a closest focusing distance of 1.3 feet throughout the entire zoom range; a rounded seven-blade diaphragm that improves the appearance of out-of-focus image elements; and a one-year warranty.

- It's a NikonI use the 16-85 as a companion to the 70-300. The 16mm wide end is very nice for general shooting. The quality of build and optics is typical Nikon. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, the hood will cast a very strong shadow in your photo if you do not take it off before using the built in flash. At least this is true when used with the D60. I am surprised that this got past the good folks at Nikon. Otherwise it's a great product.

- A great general purpose lens. This lens is just right for me. Ideal for indoors, at museums, at the zoo, in the garden. It is a very good macro lens for casual use without special accessories... great for small flowers, bugs, coins, jewelry. None of the problems that come up when using long telephoto lenses. No creep when pointing down. Very light. Works great on my Nikon D80.

- Excellent lensAfter being an avid Nikon products user for well over 30 years, I must admit that this lens holds no disappointments for me. The extra 2mm from the 18mm to the 16mm is considerable. It's worth the extra money for the extra consideration. I don't think anyone would regret buying and using this lens.

- Excellet lens - great compliment to the 70-300 VRBought this lens after one too many times being dissapointed in the 18-55 kit lens that came with my D50. There were two factors important to me - 1) VR being included and 2) improved sharpness, another, yet less important factor was the zoom range which fits perfectly with my other lenses. I currently shoot the 70-300VR, 50mm 1.8, Tamron 90mm macro and now the 16-85 VR. It was a bonus that this lens fit perfectly with my other gear, the real reason I picked it up was revealed the first time I ... Read More

- I hate zooms, but...I am a snob of sorts. I use prime Nikkors, mostly manual focus, and mostly fast apertures. In thirty years of Nikon use, I use manual focus Nikkors even on my auto-focus film cameras.
I tested the waters of digital with a D40 and D60 (the D40 was stolen), and the kit lens that came with each was everything that made me stay with my metal and glass Nikkors when auto-focus ruled the film world, too light, too flimsy, and lacking of a feel of precision. I used my manual focus Nikkors ... Read More
