    Awsome lens5.0/5

    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!5.0/5

    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...5.0/5

    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
