Nikon NIKKOR AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR
The constant f/4 aperture and Vibration Reduction offering up to 4 stops of compensation make this a versatile ultra-wide zoom for handheld shooting. Its Nano Crystal Coat and two ED glass elements effectively suppress flare and chromatic aberration, delivering sharp, clear images in a relatively lightweight 680g body. This lens is best for landscape and architecture photographers using Nikon full-frame DSLRs who need a flexible wide-angle zoom with a practical 77mm filter thread.
