Pros: Compactness, focal range, versatility, colors, sharpness and resolution, very fast focusing, aperture values.

Cons: Feedback of the not so premium rings, modest flare resistance, huge hood, little pronounced vignetting but not beautiful to see.

Opinion: Lens used in kit with the D500, I use it often and I feel great, together they form a very compact and professional kit, suitable in every situation thanks to the focal excursion that is equivalent to a 24-120 FF. Always reliable, very fast focus, beautiful colors, really excellent sharpness and resolution. The only things that can be improved in my opinion are the feedback of the rings a bit 'plastic and not very premium (despite being a lens with the gold ring), the resistance to the flare a little' poor and a vignetting so little pronounced but with edges a little' sharp and therefore aesthetically not beautiful to see, in any case solvable with a click in post-production. Overall, however, a great goal, I will hold on to it.

Pros: Versatile, crisp, beautiful yield on all focal points, light and compact, bright although not constant aperture, stabilized, AF fast and responsive.

Cons: 16mm distortion corrected in pp, bulky lampshed

Opinion: It's an excellent point of view for me. It is practically always mounted on my D7200 with which it manages to bring out excellent, sharp images, with beautiful colors and contrasts. In my opinion, it is a lens that DX camera owners should take into account for the versatility of optics and quality. The only "sore" note is the light screen... an obscene thing..... large, square.... makes the camera s stocky and really visible. I don't know if there are any technical reasons, but they should have made it a "normal" one. It was one of the best purchases made in the photographic field. I highly recommend it.

Pros: Sharpness, great all do

Cons: price

Opinion: On the D7500 fits perfectly. The colors are crisp and great combinations of lights and shadows are made when applied to certain iris aperture parameters and exposure times. It is very convenient on any occasion since it is obviously a zoom lens. It excels in landscape photos as a wide angle. Unfortunately it sins on price, but quality must be paid especially in nikon house.

Pros: valid for all occasions, high general quality, nano cristal.

Cons: of course the price, but quality costs, and applies to a lifetime.

Opinion: for me that I love to shoot landscapes, villages, villages, it is the maximum, I also own the 10/24, another tank nikon, another thousand euros in nital, but as they say in manythe quality you pay, but it is forever. lens that works well at almost all the focal points, at 16 suffers a little but always remains extremely valid, if it happens used is to be taken on the fly.

Pros: Adequate focal excursion, excellent lens treatment, sharpness, color rendition, stabilization, overall quality.

Cons: Price, Lens Hood questionable.

Opinion: I bought it on the Asian online market (where the price is more humane than Italy) to replace the 18-55 kit lens of my D5500. This excellent 16-80 is a bit wasted compared to the camera body I have, but in view of a future upgrade to D7500 I wanted to take it. I Agree with the merits already mentioned by others and I am not here to repeat them. With My D5500 Maybe I can not pull out the best that this optics can give but I must admit that the "modest" 18-55 of the kit beats well in front of the Big Brother. The differences are there (of course for the better for 16-80) but the little guy makes his figure. Of This 16-80 I really like the color rendition, the sharpness, the stabilization. The Hood is very bulky; I took an alternative rubber lens hood (not bad). The Nittal price list is in my opinion out of my mind, while the about €600 online are tailored to the quality. A great all-do.
