    Product Description

    Product Description

    The Nikkor 16-35mm f/4.0G AF-S ED VR Wide Angle Zoom Lens is sure to satisfy the needs of a broad range of shooters and, therefore, is poised to build sales and profits. Designed to meet the performance demands of the larger Nikon FX format image sensor. It is, however, fully compatible with Nikon DX-format digital SLR cameras. With an ultra-wide zoom featuring a fixed f/4 maximum aperture, Nano Crystal Coat, ED glass and Nikon VR II (4-stop) image stabilization offers discriminating Nikon digital SLR photographers an ideal blend of versatility and high performance priced well below its "pro" equivalent. Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length until the desired composition is framed. On using wide- or super wide-angle AF NIKKOR lenses autofocus may not perform as expected when shooting. Nikon's versatile 16-35mm f/4G ED VR AF-S Nikkor Zoom lens is perfect for travel, land and cityscapes, and general photography. Nikon VR II (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization Vibration Reduction, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper still images and video capture. Nano Crystal Coat Further reduces ghosting and interior flare across a wide range of wavelengths for even greater image clarity. 2 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) Elements Offers superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration, even at the widest aperture settings. 3 Aspherical Lens Elements Aspherical lens elements virtually eliminate coma and other types of aberration, even when shooting at the widest available aperture. Internal Focus (IF) Provides fast and quiet autofocus without changing the length of the lens, retaining working distance throughout the focus range. Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) Enables fast, accurate and quiet autofocus. M/A Focus Mode Switch Enables quick changes between manual and autofocus operation. Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm Renders more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements.

    "So far this is an excellent lens. I'm using it with a Nikon D750. I tried the Nikon 18-35...." Read more

    "...Although the body is some sort of plastic it doesn't really feel cheap, and the weight savings is appreciated...." Read more

    "...Both have solid metal outer barrels, high quality plastic and smooth operation. I think the 24-70 may be tougher, but anyway...." Read more

    76 customers mention73 positive3 negative

    "...Sharp, fast focusing, low noise, distortion is a bit high compared to other wide angels in the same range, but nothing that cannot be fixed in..." Read more

    "...This lens is heavy, solid built, VR works great, focus is smooth and crisp. The zoom is very nice to also give yourself a 16mm lens or a 35mm lens...." Read more

    "...The focus is fast and accurate, you don't have to worry about filters (as in the case of the 14-24mm), it has VRII which is a strong plus for me,..." Read more

    13 customers mention13 positive0 negative

    Customers find the lens wide enough to full fill their needs. They say it's a great fit for full frame cameras and a good solution for the wide side of FX.

    28 customers mention19 positive9 negative

    31 customers mention9 positive22 negative

    "...It has barrel distortion at 16mm but it is easily correctable in photoshop and generally doesn't create problems with landscape photography..." Read more

    "...The distortion and crispness are light and day...." Read more

    "...Plenty of capability! True, the barrel distortion is there at 16 to 19, but either composition or Photoshop can eliminate it!..." Read more

    Great lens - bye bye 14-24
    5 Stars
    Great lens - bye bye 14-24
    I own several primes in this range as well as the 14-24, so I was wondering if the 16-35 would really do anything for me. After a month of working with this lens I can say it definitely has a place in my bag and I fear the 14-24 is going to be going on ebay soon.The 16-35 feels like most late-generation Nikon lenses: Solid and smooth. Although the body is some sort of plastic it doesn't really feel cheap, and the weight savings is appreciated. No aperture ring which matters to fewer and fewer each day. For me I appreciate having one less opening in the lens case. A nice addition to this lens and other current gen Nikon lenses is the index dot for mounting the lens. Many earlier Nikon lenses didn't have this dot and I'd end up making little white tape wedges to substitute.Optical quality is amazing. One of the big differences between this lens and the 14-24 is the lack of ghosting, particularly with night shots and point light sources. I shoot a lot of cityscapes at night and I never used my 14-24 because it's just awful with flare and ghosting due to that big round front element. The 16-35 has none of that mess, which is great. Still not as clean as my primes in extreme situations but much much better than the 14-24.The VR is actually a lot more useful than I thought it would be. It definitely sharpens things up when running and gunning handheld in the city. No downsides that I can find. Having a standard filter thread is a godsend coming from the 14-24. Being able to use a standard polarizer and my "big stopper" ND is really nice. One downside (compared to primes) is the size; it's about the same length as the 24-70, but compared to the 14-24 not so bad.All in all I'm really pleased with this lens. I can't seem to find a reason to take the 14-24 out much anymore. The VR isn't a feature to buy this lens for but it's nice to have. No reason to buy the 14-24 versus this lens...most cameras these days have no problem compensating for the loss of a stop and the difference in DOF just isn't going to be that noticeable
