I bought this lens with my Nikon D5200 instead of the standard 18-55. While it is a heavier lens, the extra wide angle of 16mm and the zoom of 85 makes a big difference - perfect for landscape, hiking, climbing, and other outdoor photography when a zoom to 200mm or more is not necessary (ie wildlife). I also have an 18-200, 50, and 10-20, but this lens will be on the camera far more often because of its versatility and sharper imaging.

I am still playing with the lens, but it is so much fun! It is slightly heavier than I expected, but I plan to take it on a vacation anyway. I am anxious to take some landscapes and group photo's during the holidays...I can get so many more folks in the pictures! Love the VR !!!
