    CNET Review

    June 11, 2008

    The Good: Solidly built; Vibration Reduction image stabilization; strong manual focus capabilities.

    The Bad: On the heavy side; price on the heavy side as well.

    The Bottom Line: A tough, full-featured, well-built medium zoom lens, the Nikon AF-S DX 16-85mm f3.5-5.6 G ED VR's relatively high price tag may nevertheless make you want to consider other options.
