"I replaced this lens with my 18-200 tamron and 28-75 tamron and added it to my 70-300 VR. VR is very useful in low light and even more effective than my 28-75 2.8 tamron. I have found the 16-85 VR to to very useful and a great walk around lens than the older 18-70 kit lens. Focus is slighly slower …"  Read Full Review »

"This is a very solid lens, with excellent clarity and sharpness. Its sharp across the board. Its a very good walking around lens and a significant upgrade from any "kit" lens. I find that the extra couple of millimeters on the low side make a difference and I don't find that I require a longer lens …"  Read Full Review »

"I love 24-mm wide-angle lenses and, at its widest focal length (16 mm), this lens is the full-frame equivalent of a 24-mm lens. It also zooms out to 127.5-mm equivalent, which makes it good for head-and-shoulders portraits, too. The built-in vibration reduction (VR) makes it posssible to hand-hold t …"  Read Full Review »

"While this lens is heavy, it balances very nicely on a D90. It makes one perfect ergonomic package for me with a range from 24 - 127.5, it includes my old favorites - 28 and 105, plus a bit on either end and everything in-between. The VR compensates for the slower speed. Add the 70-300 and you ca …"  Read Full Review »
