Nikon 16-85 3.5-5.6

[greybeard]

Not too long ago, a Professional photographer from Lifetouch came to my school, set up a portable studio and shot prom pictures. He was using a D300 with a 16-85 nikkor. He said that it was pretty much standard issue for the company. I haven't seen this lens mentioned much, anybody have any experience with it?

Have you read Thom Hogan's review of it??? It is a VERY capable all-around zoom lens. Very capable. If I shot more DX, I would own it. It is one of the more-expensive consumer zooms, and as such, I think that hurts its sales.
