For those looking to go beyond what a kit lens has to offer their Nikon dSLR, there's Nikon's AF-S DX 16-85mm f3.5-5.6 G ED VR. Compatible with all Nikon DX digital SLRs including the D300, D60, and D40, there's an awful lot to decipher in its name. ...
A tough, full-featured, well-built medium zoom lens, the Nikon AF-S DX 16-85mm f3.5-5.6 G ED VR's relatively high price tag may nevertheless make you want to consider other options.

"CNET's Review is well off base and technically flawed"
This is a great new lens in the Nikon lineup,...
Outstanding Sharpness & lack of Chromatic aberration, as good as Nikkor lenses costing 2x as much. Latest VR II vibration reduction adds 2.5 f-stops. Minor distortion at full wide angle is better than how other Nikkor zoom lenses perform
None really. If the lens was faster, it would be bigger and heavier, and thus not a good general purpose lens. This lens only weighs 2.2 oz more than the Nikon 18-70mm Yet lens performance is much superior, despite it having a wider zoom range
"CNET review misses the point of this lens"
I've had this lens (with a D300) for about a ...
Gives Nikon digital users well-priced 16mm option
Could stand to be a bit faster than f3.5
excellent!
"Amazing versatility! The price for the capability of this lens is terrific!! I absolutely love what i can do with it!"
