Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 16-85mm 1: 3.5-5.6G ED VR SWM IF Aspherical
Nikon Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 16-85mm 1: 3.5-5.6G ED VR SWM IF Aspherical (abbreviated as Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G) is a good versatile lens for Nikon DX cameras. First of all, the lens is interesting in that it can use a wide angle of 16 mm focal length. In terms of EGF will be 24 mm. From 2008 to 2015, it was the only universal lens in the Nikon Nikkor DX series that was able to 'expand' to 16mm focal length. Only in July 2015, another lens with a similar focal length came out - Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 16-80mm 1: 2.8-4E N ED VR.

Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G is considered a more advanced lens than the series 18-55, 18-105, 18-135, 18-140 and is at about the same level as the series 18-200, 18-300 and 18-70... The only two more 'fancy' native universal lenses are Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 16-80mm 1: 2.8-4E N ED VR and Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 17-55mm 1: 2.8G ED SWM IF.

Assembly
A copy of this review was made in Thailand. To the touch Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G is pleasant and weighty, its weight is about 500 grams. The lens uses common filters with a diameter of 67 mm. When handling the lens does not add up any negative feelings.
Please note that the Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G on the bayonet side has a special rubber gasket, which is a sign that the lens has dust and moisture protection. Unfortunately, the exact level of protection of the lens from environmental influences is not specified anywhere on official sources.
The focus ring is plastic, and the zoom lens is rubberized. Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G has metal bayonet mount. The retractable lens barrel consists of two sections, to the touch they are quite durable, without any backlash.
With frequent use, the lens may begin to suffer from spontaneous lengthening of the frame (trunk of the lens) under its own weight.
There is a bayonet mount mark and a mark on the case for quick installation of the hood. The lens uses a plastic hood HB-39, which is fixed in special grooves located near the front lens of the lens. The hood can be installed in the opposite direction for transportation. In this position, access to the zoom ring is lost.
The Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G comes with a soft case CL-1015, and the lens itself comes in a small cardboard box with a characteristic Nikon coloring.

Diaphragm
Diaphragm lens consists of 7 rounded petalswhich form a fairly even hole. Diaphragm closes to F / 22 by 16 mm and to F / 36 by 85 mm of focal length.
Unfortunately, Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G cannot boast of good aperture.
There are marks with a focal length on the zoom ring, the following is a list with the minimum numbers F available for these marks:
- 16 mm - F / 3.5
- 24 mm - F / 4
- 35 mm - F / 4.5
- 50 mm - F / 5
- 70 mm - F / 5.6
- 85 mm - F / 5.6

Stabilizer
Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G has a second generation VR stabilizer that can compensate 3.5 stops by shutter speed. In values excerpts this means that you can shoot at shutter speeds 10-12 times longer than what the lens without a stabilizer requires.
The instructions for the Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G lens indicate 4 stops (measurements by Nikon), and on the official website 3.5 feet (measured by CIPA). In any case, the stabilizer works well.
To enable / disable the stabilizer on the lens there 'VR ON / OFF' button. There is a 'Normal / Active' switch to select a mode. The stabilizer can operate in two modes: 'Normal' and 'Active'.
- 'Normal' mode designed for most scenes and avoids movement when camera shake. 'Normal' mode can still track camera movement to create panoramas.
- Active Mode most suitable for shooting when the camera can not only shake, but also move in different directions. Most often, it is advised to use this mode when shooting in motion.
The stabilizer itself works well. I was able to take pictures without grease and hard work at 85 mm focal length and 1/20 second. I always use the stabilizer in 'Active' mode.

Focusing
Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G focuses quite quietly thanks to 'SWM'-motor (Silent Wbird Motor - quiet wave motor) and refers to the lens'AF S'type (with built-in motor focusing), and therefore it will automatically focus on any Nikon digital SLR camera.
Auto Focus Speed - medium closer to high. On cameras D700 и Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro the lens focuses tenaciously and does not release objects from the field of sharpness.
During focusing, the front and rear lenses remain stationary, as the lens uses internal focusthat is indicated on the case by the letters'IF'-'Iinternal Focus' - 'Inner Focus'. The front lens does not rotate while zooming. It is possible to use any filters without problems.
The minimum focusing distance is only 38 cm, while you can shoot Macro with 1: 4.6 magnification. Nikon Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G has a window with a scale of distances in meters and feet. There is no IPIG scale as well as labels for working in the infrared spectrum. In manual focus mode, the ring rotates about 120 degrees, when it reaches the extreme positions it does not rest, but continues to slide, without affecting the focus. Manual focus is easy.
On the lens housing you can find focus switch 'M / A - M'. In the 'M / A' position, auto focus works with constant manual focus priority. The 'M / A' mode is very convenient and useful - for manual focusing or focus correction, you do not need to additionally switch the lens to the 'M' mode. You can turn on the 'M / A' mode and forget about this switch forever.

Compatibility and Features
Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G, although designed for Nikon DX cameras, but will work correctly with all Nikon digital SLR cameras (full list here).
When using the lens on Nikon FX full-format cameras with the image area 'FX format (36x24)' at all focal lengths, all focusing distances and all values aperture Strong vignetting or completely black edges of the image will be noticeable. Minimum vignetting available at 85 mm focal length, focus at infinity, and f / 5.6 aperture. Using a lens hood only enhances vignetting. Work in the 'Format FX (36x24)' mode is undocumented and I write about it purely for educational purposes.
If on Nikon FX cameras select 'Image area' -> 'Auto. DX Crop '->' On ', then after attaching a Nikon DX lens to such a camera, the camera will automatically use' DX Format (24x16) '.
Also, note that while changing the focal length, the rear lens moves in the middle of the lens body like a pump - it draws in and pushes out air. This behavior of the rear lens is called 'effect' of a vacuum cleaner, which can increase the amount of dust that accumulates in the camera.
Analogue for Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G for full-length cameras Nikon FX acts Nikon ED AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm 1: 3.5-5.6G SWM VR IF Aspherical.

Image quality
Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G creates a sharp image in the center of the frame, even on open apertures. The corners and edges of the frame are slightly worse. The lens suffers from noticeable distortion at 16 mm focal length. The strongest vignetting is noticeable at 16 mm focal length and F / 3.5. Chromatic aberrations well fixed. The lens behaves well in backlight and creates a contrast image. Image quality is up to standard.

My experience
At one time, I really liked the Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G, but after a while, my love for this lens faded. I find it too overrated in terms of both features and price. At one time, Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G was the only native alternative to expensive professional Nikon 17-55 / 2.8G.
I do not recommend changing models 18-105, 18-140, 18-200, and 18-300 on this lens. But if you have any of 18-70, 18-55, 18-135, then Nikon 16-85 / 3.5-5.6G will be a worthy replacement.

Once I had a chance to shoot with this lens - I was looking for a replacement for my regular 18-55. It was a long time ago. There are two memories left - the angles are good, and the quality of the final images is no better than with 18-55, i.e. bad (“soap”, dull colors). The price seemed too high five years ago. In general, I did not buy it, which I do not regret.

I have been shooting for over a year (at d90), on the whole I am satisfied. I bought it up to d90 .. When I compared the world and the flocculation line with 18-105, I immediately decided to sell 105. Because 105 washed in the corners and periphery and had some backing flus, and 16-85 gives good sharpness throughout the entire field of the frame ... clearly hit almost the middle of the grip (measured at max aperture essno) The distortion at 16mm (24 ufr) is small and easy corrected even in lightroom .. chrome aberrations at large brightness differences are also small and also disappear to zero in the same lightroom .. Perhaps I just got a good copy ... I bought it for 16.5 tr. even before the jump in $ in 2014. They do not plan to sell yet ..)

I have been using it since March. I bought it in exchange for 18-105, the quality is much better, it can be seen from the first photo. I was with him everywhere in the mountains and in the lowlands, I have never failed practically no mistakes (maybe I got a quality). With the polar in general, Class! Bokeh smooth without frills. The aperture of course is not enough, it is corrected by raising the ISO. Who wants to buy do not hesitate, I think you will not regret it, prices are rising.
Lens for all occasions.
Nikon has not just released the new 16-80 (What is marketing at zero?) Optimum focus.
Of the minuses, very biting prices

Thank you, Radozhiva! When I saw in the review a photo of a beautiful warrior on this glass, I immediately realized this is mine.

If the price is 4-5 times higher than 18-55, and how many times more interesting is the picture? I have 18-55 without a stub, which shows both sharpness and color. Is it worth it.
Reply
Well, what can I add to the account 16-85? at the short end, the picture is pretty sharp. on a long, bokeh a little peculiar, I don’t even know how to describe it. You should not expect a strongly outstanding color difference between 16-85 and 18-55. stub, I do not know, always off. Below is an example of a 16mm party party booze. removed from a tripod + remote puffs.

16-85 if you need a reporter. If not, a whale with 35tk is enough.

mostly I shoot portraits to the full height or waist-high, but sometimes they ask me to shoot a wedding, sometimes we go on vacation. So there is a choice between 16-85 and was advised to look at 18-140. Help decide

If you have money, or the opportunity to buy for inexpensive, then 16-85 is certainly not bad, but it is far from always justified at its price.
If there is not much money, but you still need a zoom larger than 55 mm, then the 18-140 is a good amateur wagon.
But under such conditions, when they themselves have not decided on the focal ones, it seems to me that 18-55 is enough, and 35 mm turns out to be a classic angle.

Good evening . Help determine and find out your opinion about zooms to d7000: 16-85, 18-105, 18-140 (I would like tamrons and sigma 17-50 f 2.8, but the quality is scary). Intuition prompts 16-85. Thank you in advance .

16-85 is generally good. but expensive.
In terms of reporting, it is generally very useful, I had occasion to shoot reportage on it, of course, it requires a flash indoors, but who doesn't?

but for artistic and other shooting - it is worth leaving with d7000.

And where to go ??

And now I think what kind of lens to take, dkmayu 35mm 1.8. I have a budget of 10 000 UAH

Maybe a copy like that? I have tested 24-5200 of 3300-megapixel cameras on d16 and d85 - everything is fine everywhere with the open one. On similar diaphragms with sigma is not worse. According to tests, sigma sags in sharpness after f5.6, while 16-85 picks it up to f8. So what can just a jamb of a particular specimen or a bad filter on the lens?
Reply
Today I went to the store, and tested 85 makrik compared to my 16-85. I made control photos of human portraits with the same settings at 85 mm. I must say that even with pixel-by-pixel examination, I did not find a difference in sharpness.

So if 18-70 in the class is higher than 18-105, then why is the first worth changing to 16-85, and the second not?

I was looking for a replacement for the whale 18-105 for the D7000 for a long time. I didn’t like an angle of 18. I couldn’t take pictures of fireplaces (I’m a stove-maker) in small (narrow) rooms. And ... 18-105 gave a barrel. Very unpleasant, distorting fireplaces. Rummaged through the Internet and reviews. I tuned in to 16-85. I went to buy. In the store, photographers began to discourage buying it. Like bullshit. But I bought it. I don’t regret it much. I feel 16-85 DX is better than 18-105 DX. It does not give a barrel with close photography. The settings grid shows perfect straight verticals. Photos are also without distortion. Focuses well. Otherwise, I also like this lens much more than the kit 18-105. Only brings a little less. From 16-85 camera D7000 looks much more proportional and sleeker.

It depends on who is holding the D5100. Minus 24-70 on D5100 - wide angle loss. The rest on the D5100 is skill. Nevertheless, I agree that the budget lens 5100-18 or 105-18 will be enough for the D70. Further, too - skills.

Dark glass and bad glass are two different things. An insole with an aperture ratio of 2,8 is no better in quality than standard ones (for example, I came across an instance of a tamron, which cost 2 times more than the standard, but the picture was no better). You understand why you need aperture ratio. Sometimes 2,8 indoors is not enough for good shooting and fix 1,8 gives the best result. The F8 standard often gives a good result, and this is achieved in good light (street during the day or indoor flashes). In general, you don't always need to chase the zoom at F2.8.

For synthetic measurements, 18-140 also does not allow. I don’t know how 16-85, and my 18-105 on a covered diaphragm completely allows 24 megapixels.

18-55, 18-140 and 16-85 are amateur dark zooms. 16-85 'class' is slightly higher (easily determined by the distance scale, M / A mode and ring motor).

the scale of distances at 16-85 either shows "weather", or works only at one focal length. readings at different focal points differ by 2-3 times

I have been waiting for 16-80 / 4 for a long time. Considering that a full-frame 24-120 / 4 with a nano-coating (even marketing) costs from 14 thousand hryvnias for today, then the expected should cost 10-12! And the hero of the review costs from 14, as a full-frame analogue, and more light. The benefits of crop are nieliable. Fundamentally I will not buy! Maybe Sigma with Tamron will ripen.

Oh, please answer, for the Nikon D7200, which lens would be preferable: Tamron Di II SP 17-50mm F / 2.8 VC or Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 16-85mm 1: 3.5-5.6G ED VR SWM IF Aspherica? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Tamron 17-50 on equivalent apertures in general will be better, and F / 2.8 will not hurt.

Thank you very much Arkady for the instant response. I already have the aforementioned Tamron, but something he doesn’t always make me happy, very often there is some kind of inaccuracy in the received pictures. I have two more lenses: Nikon AF Nikkor 24-85mm 1: 2.8-4 D IF Aspherical Macro (1: 2) and Nikon ED AF-S Nikkor 70-300mm 1: 4.5-5.6G VR IF SWM, so these, especially the second I am very satisfied with the received pictures. Maybe I came across a copy of Tamron, not really, or the Nikon D7200 carcass is not very friendly with third-party lens manufacturers?

Perhaps 7200 and the truth is not good friends with Tamron. This 16-85 is significantly darker, and in principle overrated.
