Why Stock Photos?
The short answer is that we use stock photos on some listings to save us time and to save you money. The longer answer is that we love to take photos of each and every lens, camera, and accessory, but doing so takes a lot of time and makes it difficult to get everything listed. So, we decided to compromise: take gorgeous photos of some things and charge a little more for them, and use stock photos for other items and charge a little less for those, all else equal.
The items listed here were tested thoroughly by our trained technicians. If they observed any significant flaws, you’ll see them detailed above. If the items listed here are exceptionally awesome, you’ll see that noted above too. Regardless, please remember this is a used item and it’s bound to have at least a microscopic imperfection.
If you're interested in purchasing an item with specific photos and ratings, we don’t blame you one bit. Please visit one of our Exposed! listings (if available), usually marked with a green badge. If none are currently available, by all means, contact us.

The Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G VR
The Nikon 16-85mm is a compact walk-around zoom for DX sensor cameras. It features second generation vibration reduction, offering four stops of stabilization. It's a G-type lens with aperture set electronically from the camera and features extra-low-dispersion glass elements, silent wave motor, and a 7-blade, rounded diaphragm.
The 16-35mm makes a great general-purpose walk-around lens, especially for outdoor use.Roger's Take
There are some great Nikon lenses for DX shooters, and I think this is one. Yes, it’s a variable aperture lens, and at f/5.6 has some limitations. But it’s sharp as a tack and has excellent four-stop VR in a reasonably small size, with a nonrotating front element so CP filters work perfectly.
If you’re looking for a high-quality walk-around lens at a reasonable price, you really won’t do any better than this.
