Versatile DX zoom for everyday shooting
The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR covers a 24-127.5mm equivalent range on DX-format cameras. Its aperture spans f/3.5 to f/22 for flexible depth-of-field control. Three aspherical and two ED elements work with Super Integrated Coating to suppress aberrations, ghosting and flare. The lens suits photographers who want a single wide-to-telephoto option for travel or general use.
Best for single-lens convenience.
Shooters who prioritise a constant wide aperture for indoor or evening work should look elsewhere, as the maximum aperture narrows to f/5.6 at the long end. The variable aperture also limits shallow-depth-of-field effects at telephoto settings. Photographers needing faster subject separation or consistent exposure while zooming will find the design restrictive. This lens targets versatility over outright speed.
VR and optical formula reduce blur and artefacts
Vibration Reduction steadies handheld shots at slower shutter speeds, especially useful near the 127.5mm equivalent reach. The aspherical and ED elements combined with Super Integrated Coating cut spherical aberration, colour fringing, ghosting and flare across the zoom range. These corrections mean cleaner files straight from the camera with less need for post-processing fixes. The optical design directly supports sharper, higher-contrast results in varied lighting.

Questions about this item
Does this lens require a camera body with an F-mount and DX-format sensor to operate?
Yes, it is built for Nikon F-mount DX-format bodies and will not mount on other systems.
Will the 16-85mm zoom range and f/3.5-5.6 aperture work on my older Nikon DX camera that lacks an internal focus motor?
The built-in Silent Wave Motor drives autofocus on any compatible DX body, including models without a screw-drive motor.
How can I verify the lens is performing as intended after attaching it to my camera?
Check that autofocus locks quickly across the 16-85mm range, vibration reduction stabilises the viewfinder image, and aperture stops down smoothly to f/22.
