Nikon has just announced its new 16-80mm f\/2.8-4 ED VR<\/a>. It is the world’s lightest wide angle to mid telephoto lens with an f\/2.8-4 aperture. Compare to the current 16-85mm f\/3.5-5.6<\/a>, the new 16-80mm is a third to one stop faster while Nikon is able to keep this lens to about the same size as the 16-85mm, that\u2019s pretty impressive. On a DX-format camera, 16-80mm zoom range is equivalent to Nikon’s 24-120mm FX lens (35mm format). The AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f\/2.8-4E ED VR features Crystal Coat virtually eliminates glare, while Extra-low Dispersion Glass and Aspherical elements reduce colour aberration and enhance sharpness and contrast. In low light situations, the 16-80mm provides up to four stops of  vibration reduction so you can be sure to shoot in the most difficult situation handheld. There’s even a specialized tripod VR mode that eliminates the effects of tripod vibration. With a fast f\/2.8-4 aperture, VR image stabilization and superb glass quality, it is a great light weight wide-angle to portrait lens. At its widest focal length, the lens is a third of a stop faster than most kit lens while it is a full stop faster at the telephoto end.<\/p>\n
