The AF-S NIKKOR 16-80mm is a high-performance, versatile DX zoom lens with a bright f/2.8–4 aperture. Including the latest technology and compact build, this is the perfect lens for travel.

The 5x zoom covers the equivalent of 24–120mm in full-frame format, while the fast aperture opens up more shooting possibilities. Nikon’s Vibration Reduction (VR) keeps images sharp. An electromagnetic diaphragm ensures precise exposures at high frame rates.
