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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

★★★★★

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 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.

Worth every penny

★★★★★ 5.0

Excellent but not the 14-24

★★★★★ 5.0

Verdict: I have seen many detailed reports on the differences between the 12-24 and the 16-35. I am a pro landscape photographer and I can tell you that dispite the 16-35 being an excellent lens and having VR it is nowhere near as sharp at all focal lengths than the 14-24.

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.

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

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

★★★★★

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
