Nikon’s AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR

Is your pocket and digital SLR ready for the AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR?  We can’t wait to try it out either!

Nikon says it’s the first ultrawide-to-wide zoom lens with Vibration Reduction (VR). The AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR is really the world’s first full frame ultrawide lens with any form of in-lens stabilisation. Priced at $1259.95/£1049.99/€1249.00, the AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR is meant to be a affordable alternative to the esteemed AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED.

The new AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR features Nikon’s trademark Nano Crystal coating. The Nikon technology incorporates 2 extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements alongside three aspherical lens elements that gives the Nikon lenses superior optical performance.

The world’s very first ultrawide lens is equipped by Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor and the VRII anti-shake mechanism that ensures quiet operation. The AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR also has 9 rounded diaphragm blades which makes for excellent bokeh technique.

On FX and film bodies, the AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR has an angle-of-view range of 107°-63°, whilst on a DX format DSLR camera, its angle of view is 83°-44°. Featuring a filter thread size of 77mm, the AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR ships with a soft pouch and an HB-23 lens hood.

The world very first ultrawide lens, Nikon’s AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR will be available middle of February.
