Pros: quality from TA, AF, relatively compact, well balanced.

Cons: Huge lens hood, replaced with HB-75

Opinion: Bought used at a very good price ( 400€ ) on the market, to have a std zoom for the Z fc. Not that the 16-50 is bad, on the contrary, but not very bright yes. The footprint between 16-80 + FTZ + lens hood although changed with HB-75 is remarkable but well balanced, suitable for all circumstances, from indoor portrait to outdoor events. The best performance at the widest apertures but up to f11 no diffraction. The AF is very good, responsive, area wide, it locks the eye or the face and does not let go. Excellent or very good up to the edges, a bit of thoughtful landscaping on a tripod can be done. Since it lacks native fixed Z dx is a valid alternative.

Pros: sharpness, contrast, compactness, focal range

Cons: stars at f/2.8 (better 3.5 or 4), bulky hood

Opinion: Room: D7500 Excellent all-rounder taken as a replacement for the 18-140 that had never convinced me. So, after selling the zoom kit, I decided to buy this lens. In comparison to the other, the leap in quality is definitely evident on all focal lengths (as well as the price, which justifies this excellent lens for DX). The only moles are the fact that the stars are not really the maximum at f / 2.8 (defect that disappears at f / 4, but you lose a whole stop!) and that the hood is really bulky and impractical. Would I regain this goal? Certainly, without a doubt.

Pros: Sharpness, contrast, resolution, quick focus, high quality, compact and lightweight zoom in DX 24-120 valid for all occasions.

Cons: The hood is not up to the lens.

Opinion: I use it in tandem with the D500, and it's a winning pair. The images, from the telephoto to 120 on the right, to the wide angle 24, is always a truly excellent yield, comparable and competitive with the best and most expensive Nikon lenses even of fixed focal length. The sharpness is amazing, the colors fantastic, and the contrast at the highest level. I think that in a right kit can not miss, to keep tight. The average 9.2 rating seems to me little and is penalizing, for a lens that would certainly deserve a nice 9.6 minimum ....

Pros: Sharpness, good excursion

Cons: Indecent and bulky hood, plasticy to the touch.

Opinion: Tested on the D7500 that came out in Kit, excellent lens, very sharp and a good range of focal lengths that allows you to do everything, excellent stabilizer allows you to shoot in peace. They could do an f/4 on all focal lengths because at 16mm f/2.8 I don't see the usage. Having said these positive aspects, let's start from the negative ones, if we want to call them that.... the hood is indecent and bulky (In fact I bought a Chinese on Amazon HB-25 and fits perfectly in the bayonet without vignetting problems) if mounted on the contrary it is not possible to zumare therefore you have to remove it, to the touch it looks like a plasticotto and for what it costs Nikon could use materials a little more professional, on the other hand it is forgiven with the yield. The cost of almost 1000 euros is an important factor, so you have to weigh the choice a lot, unless you find other third-party solutions then you could loom in situations of non-precision focus.

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.
