    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2015

    I purchased this lens from Amazon to go with my D7200. I have mostly been an FX user the last 4 years and currently also own a D750 and D800. My interest in going back to the DX camera and lenses started with using the D7200 as a way to get extra reach for my telephoto lenses such as the Nikkor 80-400mm VR and the newest Nikkor 300mmF4 VR.

    I was enjoying how well the D7200 worked with these lenses but I no longer had any wide angle "walk around lens" to use with this camera.

    I did have the Nikkor 24-120mmF4 VR and the 24-85mmF3.5/5.6 VR but those lenses are best suited for the FX format.

    I purchased the 16-80mmF2.8/4 VR on a whim. Having previously owned the 16-85 version, I hoped that this lens would have the improvements necessary to make it a "keeper".

    After a few days of testing and comparisons, I must admit that I will definitely keep this lens!

    My first test was to compare the 16-80 on my D7200 to the 24-120 on my D750. This is an easy test to do as the equivalent zoom ranges and apertures are the same (except for the ability of the 16-80 to go to F2.8).

    The result of this test amazed me. The 16-80 was sharper at all apertures from F4 through F16. It did not matter what focal length I was at. In addition, the 16-80 was better at contrast. Dark areas were darker, yet had more detail. A side benefit was the lack of any vignetting when a filter was attached to the 16-80 lens. This is not the case with the 24-120, when at 24mm focal length.

    I then compared the 16-80 (set to 34mm on my D7200) with the Nikkor 50mF1.8 mounted on my D750. Again, I was surprised that the 16-80 actually looked better at all apertures but F4, where the 50mm was slightly better in the extreme corners. Again, contrast was noticeably better on the 16-80. This was the first time any lens I owned outperformed this 50mm prime.

    I also own the Nikkor 20mmF1.8. Testing this lens directly with the 16-80 on my D7200 did show the superior performance of the 20mm lens, but the differences went away by F8. Both these lenses show the excellent contrast that comes with Nikon's latest coatings.

    The Nikkor 16-80mmF2.8/4 VR is slightly lighter than the 16-85 but otherwise about the same size. The focus speed seems similar to the 24-120, and the VR seems to work as advertised.

    At 80mm, I compared the 16-80 to my Nikkor 70-200F4 VR. The first test was done with the 16-80 on the D7200 (set for 80mm) and the 70-200 on the D750 (set to 120mm). The result of this test was almost a dead heat with maybe a slight edge to the 70-200.

    I did a second test where both lenses were mounted on the D7200 (at 80mm). In this test the 70-200 clearly won. This is not surprising in that the FX format puts real demands on the corner performance of FX lenses whereas the DX format does not. in addition, the D750 has an anti-alias filter. The D7200 does not, allowing for better overall resolution if the lens can pull it off.(and the 70-200 certainly can!)

    I would go on a hike with the 16-80 on a D7200 and feel confident that I would get as good or better photos than if I carried the 24-120 with the D750. In low light, or the need to have limited DOF, I might want the FX combo, but for most scenery shots, I want maximum DOF and high ISO's are generally not needed. Do remember that DX cameras have 1.5 times greater DOF than FX.

    This lens is pricey. If I could not afford it, I would be temped by the Sigma 17-70mmF2.8/4. It looks to have similar performance overall.

    The only caveat, is the distortion. At 16mm, this lens has lots of barrel distortion. Strangely, it goes away by 19mm and quickly becomes pincushion all the way to 80mm. Most zooms seem similar in this regard. Just beware that you will want to correct for this distortion if buildings or ocean etc. are predominant in your images.

    I have not really tested this lens wide open at F2.8. It looked really good, but I just don't go there much, as I am mostly doing scenery shots rather than people shots, where one often wants to isolate the subject from the background. I can tell you this. Looking through the viewfinder one notices that the image is bright! That is an advantage of 2.8F worth noting.

    All in all, it is great to see such lenses come onto the market. The latest 24mp sensors are very demanding. This lens will hold up to those kind of sensors.

    My 5th Nikon lens, blows the rest away. Fast operation, great VR, beautiful bokeh. Nothing negative to say about this lens.

    I bought this to replace my AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR, which I loved and always kept on the body, but sadly I dropped it and the auto-focus broke. I thought that (cheap) lens was better than all my others, including my expensive prime-lenses, and while the 18-55 is a great lens, there is no comparison to what I can make this 16-80 do. I waited a few months of use to really-review this AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR, and can only sum it up by saying: it is worth the investment.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2017
    *: BlackVerified Purchase
    Just what I was looking for -- a stop faster than the kit lens, and reaches out significantly more so I almost never have to reach for my near telephoto. Much more versatile in one package. All aspects of the operation have been positive -- quick to focus, great VR. The only downsides are 1) the cost, while not unreasonable for a lens of this performance, is still right up there, and 2) the size, mainly if you are comparing it to the kit 18 - 55 f/3.5, which collapses into a wonderfully small package. If I were going on a backpacking trip, or to Europe for an extended trip, I would probably take the kit lens for it's size and light weight. But this lens now lives on my D5500, which it almost outweighs. I had to take several deep breaths when I bought it, but I have no regrets now.

    Some people have complained of it's barrel distortion and other similar flaws, all I can say is that Lightroom's lens correction function removes this entirely so I have no complaints.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023
    *: BlackVerified Purchase
    I can’t say enough good things about this lens, it does it all with a nice clean and sharp image and good contrast through out the aperture and zoom range as well as decent bokeh at f/2.8. Being that it’s a DX lens I use it on a D5500 and a Z50+FTZii adapter, both work flawlessly with the Z50 taking a slightly better image for a few reasons and both taking nice shots in dim light. It is a bit bulky and heavy so it’s debatable as a travel lens if you want to stuff it in your backpack. The only real downside is from the purchase and that it was a floor model or something and had a lot of dust and lint in the lens barrel and on some of the internal elements that I could see with the naked eye, it drove me nuts seeing and knowing it was there even if it didn’t affect my photos so I had it serviced by Nikon and it came back within a week working and looking amazing, it even had a firmware update which I feel helped it focus quicker.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible lens but a little pricey in the UK.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 24, 2019
    *: BlackVerified Purchase
    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 I’m 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.

    Erworben habe ich das Objektiv im Juli 2017 hier bei Amazon.
    Der Entscheidung vorausgegangen ist die Sichtung vieler Tests vor allem aufgrund des nicht gerade günstigen Kaufpreises. Letztlich haben folgende Kriterien zu der Entscheidung geführt:
    - Sehr guter Brennweitenbereich, dadurch auch sehr reisetauglich
    - Offenblendig lt. Tests relativ scharf
    - leicht und kompakt
    Nachdem ich das Objektiv jetzt ein halbes Jahr genutzt habe, ist es absolut mein Lieblingsobjektiv geworden.

    Im Vergleich zu den weiteren in meinem Besitz befindlichen Objektiven (Nikkor 18-200 VRII, Tamron 17-50 2,8, Nikkor 35, Nikkor 16-85) sehe ich folgende Vorteile:
    Zum Nikkor 16-85: das 16-80 ist etwas schärfer bei gleicher Blende und natürlich etwas lichtstärker. Die Bilder "leuchten" mit dem 16-80 etwas mehr, das Bokeh ist schöner. Dennoch ist das 16-85 eine gute und natürlich deutlich günstigere Alternative.
    Zum Nikkor 18-200: die Farben sind schöner, offenblendig etwas schärfer und weniger Qualitätsverluste zu den Rändern. Mehr Weitwinkel und leichter. Das 18-200 verzeichnet stärker
    Zum Tamron: mir gefällt das Bokeh des Nikon besser. Das Tamron ist schärfer mit weniger Verlusten zu den Rändern. Die Brennweite ist nicht zu vergleichen.
    Zum Nikkor 35: die Festbrennweite punnktet ganz klar mit besseren Farben, besserer Details im Schatten und extremer Schärfe. Nur ist es eine Festbrennweitere.
    Letztlich ist das 16-80 zwar ein Kompromiss, der in der 100% Ansicht erst abgeblendet um 2 Blenden perfekt scharf ist, aber dafür eben äußerst kompakt, leicht mit großartigen Brennweitenbereich, schönen Farben und Bokeh. Leider hat das ganze einen Preis.
    Preissensitive Käufer können nach meiner Erfahrung mit vertretbaren Abstrichen vor allem mit den 16-85 glücklich werden. Auch das 18-200 ist eine Alternative mit anderen Vorzügen, dafür aber schwerer und eben etwas schwächer in der Bildqualität.

    Zum Nikkor 35: die Festbrennweite punnktet ganz klar mit besseren Farben, besserer Details im Schatten und extremer Schärfe. Nur ist es eine Festbrennweitere.
    Letztlich ist das 16-80 zwar ein Kompromiss, der in der 100% Ansicht erst abgeblendet um 2 Blenden perfekt scharf ist, aber dafür eben äußerst kompakt, leicht mit großartigen Brennweitenbereich, schönen Farben und Bokeh. Leider hat das ganze einen Preis.
    Preissensitive Käufer können nach meiner Erfahrung mit vertretbaren Abstrichen vor allem mit den 16-85 glücklich werden. Auch das 18-200 ist eine Alternative mit anderen Vorzügen, dafür aber schwerer und eben etwas schwächer in der Bildqualität.

    Molto versatile, ingombro ottimale, ottima resa in viaggio specie in riprese da mezzi in movimento. La nitidezza e la luminosità è notevolmente migliore del mio “vecchio” 18-105
