Review on High-Quality Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED πŸ“· Lens with Vibration Reduction and Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras by Haissam Abo Fahd ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice price, good quality.

I bought it after the Nikon 18-105 whale. There is some improvement in sharpness and a bit more metal in the construction. Nothing else. Very much regretted the purchase. At that time, I did not understand why different lenses were used at all. From the characteristics I read about sharpness and bokeh) Although now I understand that this is the last thing you should pay attention to. If you want to choose a single lens for your DX camera, take the Nikon 35 f1.8. With it, you will take much more excellent shots. Buy lenses not to cover focal lengths inside and out. Try to understand what you are going to shoot. Landscapes - take 12-24, portraits - 50, birds - 70-300, everything - 35f1.8 All of them are indicated for cropped DX cameras, for 35 mm it is clear that other focal lengths are needed. No zoom can replace them all. The more versatile the zoom, the closer the quality is to soap dishes. So why do you need a heavy SLR if you can walk around with an iPhone in your pocket and shoot absolutely the same thing on it? Good luck to everyone, I hope the review will be useful.

Pros
  • 1. Universality of focal lengths. 2. Acceptable picture quality, given the range of focal lengths. 3. VR2. Without it, you definitely should not buy dark lenses.
Cons
  • 1. Aperture f / 3.5-5.6 is suitable for soap dishes, not DSLRs. 2. The lens changes its design when zooming, sucking dust inside. Certainly not as much as Canon lenses do for the same money. But still.
