Versatile DX zoom for enthusiasts
The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR covers a 5x zoom range from 16 to 80 millimetres. It is built for DX-format cameras and delivers a 35mm-equivalent view of 24 to 120 millimetres. The lens suits photographers who want a single optic for wide landscapes, environmental portraits and distant sports action.
Optical stabilisation and electromagnetic diaphragm
Vibration Reduction provides up to four stops of shake correction for handheld low-light and telephoto work. The high-speed electromagnetic diaphragm ensures consistent exposure control during continuous shooting. A Silent Wave Motor drives fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override for precise adjustments.
Replaces multiple primes and slower zooms
This lens consolidates wide, normal and short-telephoto focal lengths into one compact barrel weighing less than many alternatives. The jump is worth it for shooters who need constant f/2.8 brightness at the wide end and ED glass correction across the range. Buyers who require faster telephoto apertures or full-frame coverage should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the 72 mm filter thread correctly and avoid cross-threading?
Screw the filter on straight using light finger pressure until it seats; the 72 mm thread engages smoothly when aligned, so never force it.
Will the fluorine coat on the front and rear elements wear off and need reapplication?
The fluorine coat is a permanent surface treatment; it does not wear off under normal cleaning and never requires reapplication.
At what point does the variable aperture reach its smallest opening during a long exposure at 80 mm?
At 80 mm the aperture stops down to f/32, which is the minimum available at that focal length.
