The Nikkor 16-35mm f/4.0G AF-S ED VR Wide Angle Zoom Lens is sure to satisfy the needs of a broad range of shooters and, therefore, is poised to build sales and profits. Designed to meet the performance demands of the larger Nikon FX format image sensor. It is, however, fully compatible with Nikon DX-format digital SLR cameras.
With an ultra-wide zoom featuring a fixed f/4 maximum aperture, Nano Crystal Coat, ED glass and Nikon VR II (4-stop) image stabilization offers discriminating Nikon digital SLR photographers an ideal blend of versatility and high performance priced well below its "pro" equivalent.
Features:
Definitive Wide-angle Zoom Lens - Versatile wide-angle lens, perfect for travel, land and cityscapes, and general photography
Nikon VR II (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization - Vibration Reduction, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper still images and video capture.

Extra-low Dispersion (ED) Elements - Offers superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration, even at the widest aperture settings.
Aspherical Lens Elements - Aspherical lens elements virtually eliminate coma and other types of aberration,even when shooting at the widest available aperture.
Internal Focus (IF) - Provides fast and quiet autofocus without changing the length of the lens, retaining working distance throughout the focus range.
Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) - Enables fast, accurate and quiet autofocus.
M/A Focus Mode Switch - Enables quick changes between manual and autofocus operation.
Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm - Renders more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements.

There were questions. Should I be buying the 17-35mm f/2.8 instead? Would I receive a good copy? Would the lens be as good as the reviews indicated?
Now after taking some great photos, all expectations have been met and quality of images is awesome. Sammy's had this at the correct price, shipped it qyickly and packed it very well. I also needed to get some help with the correct shipping address through Sammy's Customer Service... Great people. Thank you Sammy's for equipping me with a superb lens, the most important lens in my kit.
I am pleasantly surprised by your prompt response to my emails, the quick shipping, and a competitive price. I will continue to look at Samy's first for my photo needs.
