Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX AF-S Nikkor
10 out of 10 points and recommendedEXTREMELY SHARP!Variable aperture with a max f/5.6 @ 85mmI bought this lens in August 2008 and absolutely love it! The 16-85mm range is excellent for most situations (especially landscapes and portrait work). And, I can't emphasize enough how sharp this lens is. Amazing little bugger for the price! Most of the images on my website were shot with this lens, and I always believe the proof is in the puddin'.

My only complaint is the variable aperture, the corner softness and distortion at 16mm combined with larger apertures. Having said that, it's not very often a photographer would need or want a larger aperture at 16mm (except for low light conditions).
Either way, this lens is fantastic and the price/performance ratio is astounding!
Happy Shooting!
Cheers,
