A very inexpensive older lens here for Nikon's APS-C digital SLRs. I hope you all can tolerate my interest in these. Reviews of newer lenses are definitely coming by the way.including the Z 58mm f/0.95 'Noct', which I have in my office right now and is performing unbelievably well!
Need help here! Is this better than Tamron 17-50 2.8 Di II VC?
I purchased this lens almost 10 years ago, in 2014, as a NikonUSA Refurbished product, having then paid $400 U.S. for it. I've taken it with me all over the USA, shooting many thousands of images and hundreds of hours of video with it on my D7200 and D7500 DSLR bodies, and it still looks and functions like new. It is slow (f/3.5~5.6 max. variable apertures), doesn't have the fastest AF or best VR in the Nikon Nikkor world, but it zooms and manually focuses smoothly with no zoom creep, and offers pretty good sharpness and image quality. It's done a very good job for me, and has proven to be money very well spent. Currently, however, I'm hoping to trade up to the newer gold ringed (N) Nikon Nikkor 16-80mm f/2.8~4 AF-S VR DX zoom for a little better image quality, sharpness, and speed, while not really losing any versatility. Both Thom Hogan and Ken Rockwell have written pretty highly of it as a general purpose walk around lens, which is what I want it for. Good things!
A shame you did this instead of the better 16-80
Would you recommend this lens over the 105 lens?
Thanks Christopher. a great review as always. I'm looking at this lens and I think you've managed to convince me to get it I have the 50mm 1.8G, 18-200 and the 70-300. I can do with a bit wider at 17mm and not up to so much as 300mm for slightly better quality.
It's the best APS-C lens for DX for the price, seems like you pretty much agree here. :)
Hi I have one of this for sale! made in japan, in perfect condition for use and conservation! I'm in Brazil, Bahia, Salvador
Terrificly comprehensive and succinct review!
I hope you will test the nikkor 16-80 f2,8-4 vr
Personally I much prefer the newer 16-80mm F2.8-4 lens over this one.
I’ve cracked the front glass on one of these :( anyone know how I can fix it?
I'm looking for an affordable lens in this focal range. How would you say this one compares to the Sigma 17-70 F2.8/4 image quality and focus? I'm in doubt between the two
Review Nikon 16-80 f2.8-4 Nano
I snatched one of these for 140€ a while ago and am very happy with it. It's my everyday walk around lens. It combines nicely with my 70-300mm FX telephoto too. Both have the same filter thread which is convenient. Next purchase will be extension tubes for macro photography.
Pleas give us Fujifilm xf 70-300mm lens review
My company own a total of 30 of these
I thought I would give this a try, but nikon, with all of their odd nomenclature made me feel ill
Hey, I really enjoy your lens reviews! I expecially like the comparability. As I'm a Nikon (FX, F-mount) shooter, I'd love to see some Nikon fullframe-lens tests!
I already have an AF-D 85mm, an AF-S 35mm and a Sigma 10-24 F3.5 so the 16-85 is overkill. Still looking for an AF-D 24mm. No zooming, yet a lot more light and a lot less weight for carrying around.
I've had this lens since 2014, having purchased it as a NikonUSA Refurbished product for $400 U.S. To date, I've been very pleased with it, having shot many thousands of stills and hundreds of hours of video with it on my old D7200 and newer D7500 DSLR bodies. This is my primary go everywhere all purpose lens, and the stable-mate to my 70-300mm f/4.5~5.6 AF-P VR FX zoom lens, and 35mm f/1.8 AF-S FX lens. my travel and vacation trio of lenses. Good things!
I just found this lens in very good condition for $200. The guy said he was selling it cheap because there was dust in the lens. I just smiled, paid him and said thank you. There's really nothing worth worrying about in the lens and I got a great deal. I do feel kinda bad for not telling him that it was likely worth a bit more but I couldn't resist.
Is this lens compatible with d5100
Thanks for the Review and the 16-85 f3.5-5.6 is my normal lens for my D7500 Camera, inplace of the 18-55. The new Nikkor 16-80 f2.8-4.0 is $1066. a bit overwhelming in price!
can i use that for my nikon z50
Is this a wide angle Len?
what clear UV filter can I put on here? I don't think the 77mm one will fit
can i used this lens for my d810 full frame camera
FFS. Good review, but it's not Nii-Kon, It's Nick-On
Just bought a used 16-85 in mint condition for $225. Love it.
would you recommend this for beginner Real Estate photography?
Thanks for the review
I've been using this lens for 4 years and absolutely love it . it's a great walk around lens, perfect for when I travel. This and a light 35mm f/1.8G DX (for low light) and I'm all set.
I just clicked on ur amazon link. Either the price dropped or the link is wrong. This isn't a $700 lense which is good for me.
Dude swag
I love DSLR !
This is now an old lens. How does it compare to the new 16-80 which is much more expensive?
Does this have manual aperture?
D7500
autofocus mode me agar hum group me photo lenge to focus kar lega ya nahi
Hi, thank you for your detailed video. I wanted to ask is this better than 18-105 and 18-140 as compared to stabilization and other things except focal length?
Nikon 16-35 or 16-85 is betterb?
Great ideas after this reviews - I'll looking for Nikkor 16-85mm DX for my Fujifilm S3 Pro, thank You!
I'm looking to buy one like this. Thanks for the review video
Glad you've been able to get some new lenses :)
The Nikon 16-85mm Standard zoom lens is a very underrated lens. I bought mine new in 2013 with my Nikon D5200, and I now have it on my Nikon D7500. I always trust this lens to get sharp and focused photos, and it has been on all my holidays as a great all round lens to capture family moments. Sure, it isn't a f/1.8 or f/2.8 lens, but it gives really sharp images with great contrast and colour. I will probably never sell this lens!
Hi Jon, great insights on the gear i usually wait for promotions to buy some of my lenses brand new, but have done second hand a couple of times and no problems with it as long as the reseller seems reputable.
Hi Jon. Great video. I brought a couple off second hand lenses for my canon. Been pretty pleased with them. Still using them still. Hope you all good. Shawn
Hi Jon, hope you are both well, great overview of the lens, cant wait to see the photos from it, all my lenses are second hand, and old generations, I dont see the point of spending megga bucks on them when I dont make money from my photography, plus I have not had a bad second hand lens as of yet. Not sure if you knew this but you have your camera set up backwards, the Canon should be for photos and the Nikon should be in the bin (Shots Fired) but on a seriouse note, might be a good topic for the group, Canon Vs Nikon
