Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 16-85 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 16-85 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

One of the best lens deals that Nikon has for DX camera lenses.

Perfect range, size and weight for walk around lens on trips

Not quite a one lens solution. You need a telephoto lens like the 70-300mm

Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 16-85 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

* A very good lens. At f/5.6 and above competes with the professional 17-55 at every focal lenght.* Versatile.* However, I prefer primes (24 f/2.8D, 35 f/1.8G, 50 f/1.8G).

16mm * Very good resoution at 16mm* 16-85mm is a quite versatile range.* VR works very well

Resolution falls towards the long end
