Nikon Nikkor AF-S 16-35mm F4G ED VR

No reviews
Verdict: The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm 1:4G ED VR, announced in February 2010, has the distinction of being the world's first ultra-wideangle lens to feature optical image stabilization. It's designed primarily for use on full-frame DSLRs, as a less-expensive alternative to the likes of the 17-35mm 1:2.8D or...
Pros: Very high image quality on both DX and FX formats, Excellent build quality with dust and moisture sealing, Highly effective optical image stabilization, Fast, silent autofocus with manual override
Cons: Huge barrel distortion at 16mm on FX cameras, Relatively big and heavy for its class (larger than many F2.8 wideangle zooms, Slightly inelegant flare handling

Nikon's AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR Zoom; Ultra-Wide For FX, Moderate Wide For DX Nikon D-SLRs

No reviews
Verdict: When you talk about lenses these days you always have to bring in the multiplication factor, especially when you have a lens that fits comfortably on both so-called full-frame and APS-C sensor cameras.

3.4
Verdict: On our 10 MP DX test camera, the Nikkor AF-S 16-35 VR is a very good wide-angle to normal zoom lens that shows excellent resolution in the center and very good border and corner sharpness at most focal length and aperture settings.

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

No reviews
Verdict: I sort of bought this lens by accident. I was in Hong Kong on holidays and more or less determined to buy some camera gear whilst there. I can't say I really wanted this lens over other lenses such as the 24-70 but it was in a better price range than that lens.
Pros: Excellent performance at pretty well all focal elngths and apertures, highly effective VR
Cons: None really but the build quality seemed a little less than I expected but having said this it is still very good

REVIEW: Nikon AF-S 16-35mm F/4G ED VR

No reviews
Verdict: Being the first of its kind, Nikon's new 16-35mm f/4 ultra-wide zoom, selling for ￡879, has garnered quite a lot of interest, especially from those who wish to use filters for landscape work, as Nikon's current top-line ultra-wide, the 14-24mm F/2.8 can't accept filters.
Pros: Good all-round resolution performance, Lighter than f/2.8 lenses, Accepts 77mm filters, Vibration Reduction
Cons: Barrel distortion at 16mm, Vignetting at 16mm

Nikon Nikkor AF-S 16-35mm F4G ED VR

No reviews
Verdict: Back in August 2007, when Nikon introduced the D3, their first full-35mm-frame, FX format digital SLR , they simultaneously updated five lenses: two shorter constant f/2.8 zooms: 14-24mm and 24-70mm and three 400, 500, and 600mm super telephotos with AF-S and vibration reduction (VR).

AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR Lens

4.2
Verdict: The AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR lens provides a lower-priced (though still expensive) alternative to Nikon's other wide zoom lenses, which are a full f-stop faster. Designed to meet the performance demands of the company's FX sensor DSLRs, it is also fully compatible with DX-format cameras and...

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

5.0
Verdict: 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

Excellent lens, well built and practical

5.0
Verdict: Bought this because I have already the 14-24mm but I am always worried about damaging the lens during outdoor photography. The 16-35 in my opinion is more practical as a travel/outdoor lens. The only thing I miss on that lens is the look at 14mm. Which is why I intend to keep both.

Highly recommended!

5.0
Verdict: I recently switched to the full frame Nikon D700 camera, and wanted a really good and versatile wide angle zoom lens. I researched this lens on 3-4 different lens review sites, and because the reviews were quite good, I decided to buy it.

Nikon 16-35mm f/4G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor review by CraigH

No reviews
Verdict: I preordered this lens when it was announced, something I don't ever do, but I wanted an ultra wide for FX to go the the Grand Tetons with. I read the initial reviews posted by the internet forum nay-sayers and felt a bit discouraged. Then I got the lens and actually used it.
Pros: Very sharp, fairly light weight, perfect ultra wide range, balances nicely
Cons: None

Excellent for the price

5.0
Verdict: I debated on this versus the 14-28. This is considerably smaller and lighter which appealed to me. I took this on a recent vacation to Ireland and was expecting major distortion and some softness at the longer end based on some (not all) reviews.

Terrific Lens

5.0
Verdict: Great lens for scenics and shooting in cramped interiors. Focal length range is a short, but still very useful. Allows for very short camera to subject distance with distortion very well-controlled at all apertures and focal lengths. Great depth-of-field.

Sharp from edge to edge

5.0
Verdict: I just received this lens a few days ago. In a time-lapsed starscape test, at 16mm the stars are in sharp focus all the way out to the corners of the video. I look forward to many more fine images from this great lens.

NICE

5.0
Verdict: This lens is AWESOME. If you love wide, it does wonders on a full frame camera. Before purchasing, I've debated between this lens and the legendary 17-35mm. In the end, I wound up buying this lens and am loving it; no regrets whatsoever. A cool feature of this lens is its focusing distance.

Excellent Lens for So Many Applications - It has earned a special spot in my camera bag, and I always take it with me.

5.0
Verdict: Every photograph is a compromise (e.g., shutter speed, ISO, f/stop), every piece of equipment is a compromise (e.g., cost, weight, capabilities). For what I like to do, this lens is perfection. Nikon offers quite a few similar lenses, so you might want to shop carefully.

Unleash the Potential of your FX DSLR

5.0
Verdict: A truly great lens I've had for a year and have come to know as my go-to for interiors, architecture, capturing big grandeur nature scenes, and shooting vehicles. When I put this lens on my D800E on a tripod and shoot with a cable release in Mirror-Up mode, it consistently shows that my investment...

Amazingly Sharp!

5.0
Verdict: This lens is fantastic on a full frame camera (D700 / D3). It's one of the sharper ultra wide / wide angle zooms out there and easily surpasses the 17-35 f/2.8. The VR is also extremely good, I can shoot 1/30s and have no blur in the photo.

best ultrawide zoom out there

5.0
Verdict: 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!

Clean and sharp, easy to hand hold.

3.0
Verdict: I needed a good ultra wide angle lens for western landscapes, eastern fall color, busy cityscapes, opportunities of the moment, and more. I couldn't be more pleased by large images created with this lens on a D750. Sharp, with very good detail and contrast, and control of internal reflections.

Poor Performer

5.0
Verdict: I own a lot of Nikon lenses and this one is the biggest disappointment to date. I really don't know what Nikon were thinking It has horrendous barrel distortion at 16mm and is soft past 30mm. Edge sharpness is poor throughout but almost unusable at 35mm.

Excellent sharpness, VR makes a huge difference for low ligh

4.0
Verdict: Pros: On my D800 this lens is as sharp as my nikon 20 and 35 mm primes. In a zoom that is a spectacular achievement. It is obviously much slower but for the landscape shooting I do with it the VR lets me hand hold down to half a second easily and a second if I brace myself on something.

Bees Knees

3.0
Verdict: I use this lens for wider shots of the landscape and capturing images of sky and water. The lens is pin sharp and I have noticed no distortions in my images (although I don't test to the nth degree). This is a must have for me and I don't think I could bought a better lens for the quality / cost.
Pros: Consistent Output, Easily Interchangeable, Lightweight, Quick Focus, Sharp Focus

A good easy to use ultrawide

5.0
Verdict: The 16-35mm f/4 is a solid but not spectacular lens. It can't compare to optically or in build quality to the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G, 17-35mm f/2.8D or Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC but it has advantages in other areas. The build is good and it is weather sealed.

Nikon Nikkor AF-S 16-35mm F4G ED VR

5.0
Verdict: A lot of mixed reviews out there. I having nothing bad to say about this lens. Opposite in fact. It is sharper across the frame than the 17-35 with less vignetting (almost nil), better contrast and 16 is nice to have on the wide end. The VR is very useful on a wide angle lens.
