Pros: Sharpness, colors, lightness, reactive AF, VR that gives a great hand in low light conditions and after 30mm, accepts 77 screw filters

Cons: Maf ferrule, rubbers, very strong distortion at 16m (solvable in pp), edge decay at 35mm

Opinion: All sorts of things have been said about this lens, everything and the opposite of everything. In my opinion it is a very good lens, very light, which lends itself to being carried often during mountain excursions, unlike the 14-24 which weighs like a boulder and to which you have to combine holder and plate filters, taking up precious space. The autofocus works very well, the VR gives a great hand in some circumstances and the sharpness is quite good, especially in the center ... at F4 it tends to vignette a lot, but already moving to f/6.3 it disappears. used between f/8 and f/11 is a blade, unfortunately however after 30mm, it begins to give the rope. At 16mm there is a very strong distortion, correctable in pp.. to the other focal lengths few problems, but after 30mm, as mentioned shows the string.. the colors are great, nothing to say.. flare resistance is also good. not a small flaw, the Maf ring nut and the tires .. here Nikon could work decidedly better, also given how much it spent on the new. excellent compromise for those who want something more "portable" and "filterable" than the 14-24mm G ED f/2.8

Pros: Sharpness, Vr, Amazing Colors, Silent, Fantastic even at night.

Cons: For me No one, maybe with an Nd could make even more.

Opinion: I've been shooting for 1 year and a half, I have to say that I like it a lot and I use it both at night and during the day it's really incredible and to think that it's an F4!! I like its being silence, I like the color rendition, shots with 4s handheld and has an absurd stabilization... The 77 lens maybe you have to spend a little bit on filters.. Paid used 400 euros a crazy deal!! The colors are truly remarkable. I will fully test it in my Trip to Sicily...

Pros: Lightweight, beautiful colors, VR, AF so quiet it looks broken.

Cons: Price of the new, plasticky, bulky, sharpness that can be improved, problematic in night photos with cameras that are not particularly effective at high ISO, despite the presence of the stabilizer.

Opinion: Found at a price you couldn't say no to, it initially made a good impression on me. I took it to add it to a Sigma 17/50 f2.8, which I resold after its purchase, wrongly. Mounted on the D 7200, the millimeter difference on the wide-angle side proved to be significant, even if in the face of geometric distortions that I had never detected on the Sigma. In any case, I wanted to try a relatively modern Nikon lens, to see if it really made a difference compared to those of the competition, as many claim. On the colorimetry, the contrasts and the transitions between the shades in fact nothing to say, but otherwise it did not particularly convince me. Sharpness and definition seemed to me to be in line with the idea I had made in the use of other Nikon lenses, that is, good but not excellent and above all deceptive. In the sense that looking at the file in a not too in-depth way they seem valid, but if you look more carefully they show their limitations, in particular bringing the file to 100%. A series of shots taken at night, albeit with the presence of numerous artificial lights that lightened the scene, forced me to throw away almost all the photos, despite the use of the stabilizer. Maybe I won't be able or I won't have understood the needs of the lens, I know the camera quite well, since I've had it for several years. In that period, however, there was the opportunity of a Sigma ART 24-35 that I decided to take on the fly and, after repeating the night photo session in the same area and in very similar conditions, there was only a minimal amount of photos to be discarded, so to speak physiological. Of course, you basically have to give up the wide-angle side, but for this purpose I took a 10-20 for a laughable price, which also gave me great satisfaction, absolutely and not only depending on the price that was paid. On the 24-35 the stabilizer is not there, but the lack is not felt and above all the leap in photographic quality was simply abysmal. For 70 euros difference from what I then took from the 16-35 there was no need to think about it for a moment. I sold the 16-35 with great difficulty, despite the fact that it was immaculate in everything, including the box, and despite the fact that I offered it at a price well below average. Given the persistent lack of bidders, I tried RCE, which granted me a low amount, if you will, but still higher than what I had paid him. I always find it difficult to part with the photographic objects I own, but the 16-35 is the lens I sold and I regret it the least, that is, not at all. The price at which it was sold when new seems to me frankly out of this world and once again deceptive: such as to make me think of a first-rate lens which, however, corresponds to performance that apart from the colors, the really beautiful ones, I find largely inadequate. On the 7200 equipped with battery grip it made a great impression, but this was matched by a behavior that was too often disappointing. Maybe it doesn't go well with too dense sensors and the one on the 7200 is the densest ever in the entire SLR range. I write this after detecting the positive comments of those who have used it on 16mpx FF sensors. I probably chose the wrong model to test the qualities of Nikon lenses, but as far as I'm concerned Sigma for life, even if they are not Art series.

Pros: Versatile, rugged, dynamic AF and VR

Cons: I don't know

Opinion: I think it's one of the best purchases I've made. Using it at f8 gives it its all, both in terms of distortion and colors. I use it with the D4S and they are a perfect pair. In addition to the one already described, I really appreciate the tropicalization and the internal zoom. Definitely a lens guessed by Nikon for those who don't like to break the bank like the 14-24

Pros: Versatile, robust, responsive and accurate af, beautiful colors

Cons: Easily damaged lens hood with coupling

Opinion: Reading the reviews that precede mine, you can laugh. As usual, the truth lies somewhere in between. This 16-35 may not be the best choice for those who only do landscapes and/or architecture but for a use of reportage, street and travel photography it is definitely a good choice. In the center it is sharp at any aperture, the colors are good, the autofocus and the stabilizer work well, the focal range is the best you can have for uses above citati.il problem of possible infiltration of moisture and dust is easily solved with a protective filter. The weight and size are in the norm of this category of lenses.distortions and not good angles at 16mm.... More fat laugh. We're talking about 16mm and we're not talking about a Zeiss or even the 14-24! In short, exaggerated comments aside, I consider it a very valid tool for street reportage and travel in general. Max
