Like many photographers, as I developed, I changed Nikon Nikkor 18-105 to Nikon Nikkor 16-85 VR and at first I was satisfied. But with the growth of experience and the transition to lenses with a fixed distance, I began to see about the same shortcomings. The main one is that focal lengths over 60-70 mm are difficult to use due to a drop in image quality. Similarly, 16 mm is not too happy. The optimal quality range is approximately 20-50 mm. My requirements for a lens are above average - for serious work, I now use prime lenses, and I also crop the edges. I admit that in ordinary life you will not notice what I am writing about. For tourism, I bought a more inexpensive similar lens of another brand (I will not advertise) - it is interesting with a higher aperture ratio. Image quality, according to my tests, is not worse, if not better than the original. And nothing that this lens is 17-70 mm. Still, a picky photographer will not use a range over 70 mm on Nikon. Nikon Nikkor 16-85 VR = versatile travel zoom with satisfactory quality. He deserves a "C grade" because of the relatively high price that does not justify the purchase of this particular model. 18-200 and 18-250 is already a mockery of the buyers.
