Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 G VR DX AF-S ED Zoom-Nikkor Lens

This versatile Nikon 16-85mm AF-S DX VR Nikkor lens marks a significant advancement in lens design specifically optimized for all Nikon D-series digital SLR cameras.

The AF-S DX 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G has a 5.3x zoom capability which covers the popular focal length range equivalent to 24-127.5mm in 35mm format. It offers wide-angle-to-medium telephoto zoom, ideal for a broad range of shooting situations from interiors and landscapes to beautiful portraits in one compact design with outstanding center-to-edge-to-corner image quality.

This DX lens offers a selection of Nikon's highly regarded technologies such as Silent Wave motor (AF-S) for super fast and quiet autofocus operation, Extra-Low Dispersion glass (ED) for minimized chromatic aberrations, and Vibration Reduction (VR) for assuring dramatically sharper images.

In addition, the AF-S DX 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-VR also incorporates hallmark Nikon features that customers have come to expect from Nikkor lenses, such as distance information guide window, and a M/A mode for seamless switching between autofocus and manual.

Key Features:

• Versatile, high-power 5.3x Zoom-Nikkor lens (approximates the picture angle performance of a 24-127.5mm lens on 35mm SLR)
• Vibration Reduction (VR) minimizes the effects of camera shake, allowing handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper images.
• Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers superior color performance and substantially reduced ghosting and flare.
• Focus as close as 1.3' throughout entire zoom range
• SWM (Silent Wave Motor) for swift autofocusing with superior accuracy and ultra-quiet operation
• M/A mode allows rapid switching between autofocus and manual even during AF servo operation, with virtually no time lag
• The rounded diaphragm opening (7 blades) makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural
