Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

At the beginning I wanted to take Nikon 17-55 or 16-35 to replace Tamron 17-50 After testing two expensive lenses, I came to a non-standard opinion. For some reason, 17-55 used does not have a stable picture, in one corner lighter in another darker, and there is not as much sharpness as they write about it for his money, perhaps for a constructive, but very heavy. At 16-35, the picture is more stable, but not enough to pay for it such an amount and that both of these are focal. I have a staff Nikon 70-300 vr and Tamron 17-50 I wanted a golden mean in the second place. And so, when disappointed with the tests, he was about to leave the store, I accidentally drew attention to the shop window where the Nikon 16-85 vr stood and waited for me. Having tested this lens, I was pleasantly surprised and discouraged. From the first shot, all pictures are stably even, without all sorts of light-dark edges, excellent clarity, very comfortable focal lengths, but as I lay down in my hand, I understood, mine, the "golden mean" For myself and for others, I realized that running after sharpness, to which the eyes quickly get used, takes us away from creativity and growth and leads to a race for lenses. So it’s up to you, my dears, to decide whether to grow in creativity, or constantly pay for sharpness. I would be very happy if I inspired someone for this lens.

Pros
  • Lightweight, excellent and stable picture, sharp enough, very comfortable focal lengths, fits perfectly in the hand on the D90, stabilizer two mode warm tones, everything is just on top.
Cons
  • The disadvantages can only be attributed to the lens hood, it holds weakly, and does not hold at all when turned upside down. I must have gotten this one. Came up with 70-300 vr Now on medium size lens there is a huge lens hood, which gives a solid expensive view.
