best ultrawide zoom out there

This is Nikon's best and sharpest ultrawide zoom, even better than the beastly 14-24mm. It is sold out and backordered everywhere. The sale price is excellent and you should get yours before they sell out!

Nikon AF-S 16-35mm f/4G ED VR Review

The most obvious thing about this lens, however, is its quietness: it really is virtually silent in AF mode. It is also very quick and focuses both accurately and reliably. Manual intervention can be used in AF mode but there was no occasion when it was needed during testing.
Pros:
  • Stunning optical quality
Cons:
  • Slippery barrel finish

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm 1:4G ED VR review

Nikon's 16-35mm F4 VR is the first true wide zoom to sport optical stabilization, but thankfully doesn't compromise imaging performance to do so. It's an excellent choice particularly for full frame users, but you do need to be aware of its pronounced barrel distortion at wide angle.
Pros:
  • Users of full frame Nikon SLRs looking for a wideangle zoom that's less expensive and more portable than the existing F2.8 options.
Cons:
  • Architecture and interiors (due to distortion at 16mm), DX users (due to limited range)
