Nikon 16-85mm lens is the digital answer to Nikon's highly popular 24-120mm lens in the film era.

Colors are excellent and chromatic aberration is reasonably well controlled. The lens is pretty sharp even if you crop 50%( based on my experience with my 10MP D200).
The thing I love most about this lens is the bokeh it renders at 85mm at 5.6. Of course, it cannot be compared with the bokeh of my old Pentax 135mm prime, but then it was a prime! I always was finicky about the bokeh factor and I have no reason to complain ... more

This lens has a great range, pretty accurate focussing and reasonable to excellent sharpness throughout its aperture range. My experience is based entirely on field tests since I don't believe in test charts.
At 3.5, the lens is reasonably sharp wide open but sharpness suffers a bit as you zoom to 85mm ( at 3.5, that is). If you stop down to 5.6 and beyond, I find it excellent at all focal lengths. Colors are excellent and chromatic aberration is reasonably well controlled. The lens is pretty sharp even if you crop 50%( based on my experience with my 10MP D200).
The thing I love most about this lens is the bokeh it renders at 85mm at 5.6. Of course, it cannot be compared with the bokeh of my old Pentax 135mm prime, but then it was a prime! I always was finicky about the bokeh factor and I have no reason to complain here.
All said and done, the lens is quite pricey for the features it offers, a 3.5-4.5 aperture would have justified the money.
