  • Excellent sharpness, 4-stop VR, Fairly compact and lightweight,
  • Not a constant-aperture zoom, Quite pricey to buy,
  • Nikon makes some pretty spectacular DX (APS-C) format DSLRs, like the D7500 and D500. If you're lucky enough to have one, it's only natural that you'd want a high-performance standard zoom to match. The AF-S DX 16-80mm ticks almost all of the right boxes...

  • The AF-S DX Nikkor 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR is a natural successor to the AF-S DX-Nikkor 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR and between 2/3 and a full stop faster than its predecessor. Positioned as a 'professional quality' option for owners of Nikon's DX-format came...

  • 5x zoom range, Fast f/2.8-4 maximum aperture, Compact, lightweight design, Fast, consistent autofocus, Good image quality for a kit lens
  • VR less effective than advertised, Heavy vignetting, distortion, Standalone price a bit steep
  • Yes. If you are in the market for a D7500 or D500, then we highly recommend picking up a kit with the 16-80mm f/2.8-4. Were it available in a kit with the D5600, we would recommend it there, too. Sadly, it is not. This is a solid workhorse lens that produ...
