Awsome lens Exceptionally sharp lens. Don't know if it's a good value retail, but for $550 used it's a steal. Finally a lens that will get the most out of a D7200. Tried the 18-300, 18-200, and 18-140. All were to soft for my taste, the 18-140 is the closest in sharpness. This lens is way sharper at comparable lengths. Sharp wide open and good in low light. Replaced my Sigma 17-50 2.8 with no regrets. Like the added range an the VR compensates for it being a little slower at 50mm, plus I get an addition 30mm on the long end. Great all around lens, and if I need longer I have a 70-300 af-p VR which for the price is an outstanding lens. Highly recommend both.
Sharp, fast, and great range! It's sharp, fast focusing, and the range from 16 to 80 mm makes is an easy choice. I can get great photos of my grandkids, and turn and take an awesome landscape without changing to a wide angle lens.
The best Nikon lens for an APSC sensor camera... This lens with the VR built in covers about 60% of all images required on a wedding, or for all around use. The 2mm extra width comes in handy so many times and saves a shot when there is no more room to back up, and having a lens with a 2.8 f stop really helps shooting in low light situations. I used it on a band performing with no stage lights and got great results shooting at 3200 ISO. The 80MM end is a great portrait lens, allowing one to shoot at a very pleasant f4 with a nice bokeh, that wide open. I know its a spendy lens, but I recommend it if you have the funds, as I am shooting it on a Nikon D7500 with excellent results
