Versatile DX Zoom Lens

The AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR covers a 24-127.5mm equivalent range on DX-format DSLRs. Three aspherical and two extra-low dispersion elements deliver sharpness and colour accuracy throughout the zoom. Vibration Reduction steadies handheld shots at slower speeds. The bundle adds a 64GB memory card, filters, backpack, tripod, software and cleaning kit.

Sustained Optical Performance

Aspherical elements control spherical aberration consistently across the focal range during extended shooting sessions. Extra-low dispersion glass limits chromatic aberration frame after frame. The Silent Wave Motor maintains quiet, precise autofocus without hunting during long video takes. VR compensation remains effective for stationary subjects over prolonged use.

F-Mount DX Constraints

Designed for DX-format F-mount cameras, the lens projects an image circle that covers APS-C sensors only. On FX bodies it defaults to crop mode, reducing usable resolution. The variable f/3.5-5.6 aperture narrows at 85mm, limiting low-light capability at the telephoto end. Buyers needing full-frame coverage or constant aperture should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How much power does the AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens draw during all-day shooting?

The lens draws power from the camera body for its autofocus motor and vibration reduction system; no separate power source is needed.

What camera body must I already own to use this 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens?

It requires a Nikon DX-format DSLR with an F-mount to function.

Will this 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens work with my older Nikon F-mount lenses on the same body?

Yes, it shares the F-mount so it can be swapped with any other F-mount lens on a compatible DX-format DSLR.
