Cracking DX lens which I use with a D7200 body. Compared to all the kit type lenses that I have owned before, the picture quality of this pro DX (gold ring) lens is far superior. I did hesitate over buying this as I wondered about the 18-200mm instead, but Im glad I purchased this one to be honest and I do not miss the extra reach. The 16-80 has a good wide angle and a very useful zoom range. The lower F stop makes it great for low light use or indoors. My images are a lot brighter as a result. It is a well built lens and you can feel the quality in the weight. It literally never comes off the end of my camera and has made my other lenses largely redundant. The only draw back is the price but more often than not with photography you need to spend a bit more for quality. I purchased mine as a white box lens. These lenses come in a white box as they are actually supplied as part of a kit with the D500 pro DX body. Camera shops will quite often split the white box lens from a D500 kit if someone only wants the body. They then sell the lens cheaper than the gold box version of the same lens (around £300 less in my case). I checked with the seller first to ensure that it was a genuine UK market lens (not a grey import) and it even came with the UK warranty papers with matching serial numbers. Overall if you can afford this lens you will not regret it. Just remember to buy a good lens protector to screw on the end. I would rather replace a lens protector than this lens so I made sure that I protected my investment the moment it arrived.

It’s heavy, expensive but gives a quality picture head an shoulders above all the other Nikon lenses in this focal range. An ideal partner for the D500. I have many other lenses in this range some faster than this one but none of them match it for focussing and picture sharpness. I don’t really understand why it should performer better of worse than my 50mm F1.4 at the same focal length even when both are stopped down to F8 say but it does. Worth the money if you are an exacting photographer. Good at landscapes, portraits and buildings and even gives my Macro a run for its money for flower close ups.

Purchased this lens as an upgrade to my 8 year old 16-85 that I subsequently sold at a good price to offset the cost. Many have said it’s not worth upgrading due to the cost . .. I’ve found it a worthy upgrade and the f4 does come in handy in low light and at night when handheld with the added benefit of improved VR. The contrast is an improvement on it’s predecessor and though I found the 16-85 was sharp across the image, this is razor sharp. Not too heavy though the lens cap is bit big in comparison but nevertheless still fits comfortably in my camera bag.Yes, it is expensive but what is’nt these days particularly with lenses and bodies across the board.I can only highly recommend this lens and assure you, you will not be disappointed.

The only draw back is the price but more often than not with photography you need to spend a bit more for quality. I originally purchased a used like new one which arrived looking like it had been used as a rugby ball at Twickenham so it went back (broken casing and was certainly not like new). I ended up buying a white box lens instead. These lenses come in a white box as they are actually supplied as part of a kit with the D500 pro DX body.
