The AF-S DX Nikkor 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR from Nikon is a 24-120mm equivalent zoom lens that is well-suited for a variety of shooting applications. The bright maximum aperture range of f/2.8-4 offers advantages in low-light conditions and controls depth of field for selective focus shots. Equally impressive is the optical design featuring four extra-low dispersion elements and three aspherical elements, which help control both chromatic and spherical aberrations to achieve remarkable image clarity and sharpness. Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings minimize stray light and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy in bright and backlit shooting conditions.

This 16-80mm model also stands out with the integration of a vibration reduction image stabilization system that compensates for four stops of camera shake, allowing for sharper handheld shots. A quiet wave motor benefits the production of sharp images and ensures fast and silent autofocus performance, as well as full-time manual focus. Additionally, this lens uses an electromagnetic diaphragm to maintain consistent exposure stability during high-speed continuous shooting.
