The 16-80 lens is a no brainer , it’s a great lens . I really love mine and very happy I got mine with the D 500.

The 16-80 2.8-4 is on my D500 when I am around family, gives the same coverage area as my 24-120 F4 FX lens on my D850. That's why I like it so much, that 24-120 range cover's almost everything I need.
And, it is a LOT lighter than my 24-120.
That lens hood is especially designed to disengage it you drop your lens, saving the lens and the hood, GO NIKON.

I agree this is a great lens for general photography. I is on my camera almost all of the time.

I use either Lexar or Sony XQD cards in my D500 and D850. My card reader is a Sony XQD/SD card reader model MRW-E90. It comes with a well made USB 3 cable. If you do a lot of AF-C shooting at High, make sure the cards you use (SD and XQD) have fast read and write speeds and that the card reader and cable interface allows for fast image downloads. The Sony card reader I use does.
Since I shoot with FX and DX models my lenses are mostly all FX. For me, I see no need to get a FX and DX lens for the same focal length range.

Using DX format depends on requirements. When concerned about noise or cropping, FX is best. If you must post crop, the number of pixels are reduced. Full frame sensors handle low light best, as does fast lenses that allows the lowest ISO possible in low light situations. The sharpest image of an f4 lens most likely is 5.6, maybe f8. I use both FX and DX but it depends on lighting and if it is a still or action shot. The only thing that changes from a DX to FX is the field of view. A 100mm lens on a DX is still 100mm lens, not 150mm.
It is best to move closer to the subject if possible.

I owned a 16-85 for years which was a decent zoom on a D5300. Then I saw an article with landscape photos in a photography review mag shot with the 16-80 and I was blown away. Couldn't find a review (DXOMark) but bought used on this site. It's been ok but not a substantial improvement over the 16-85 considering the cost difference. The mag pics were probably shot with an advanced or possibly full frame camera.

Just purchased a used Nikon D500 with a 12,000 shutter count and 2 year warranty. New seems to be scarce at this time. Local camera shop had this one.
Any opinions on the 16-80 f2.8-80 lens?
Also, suggestions on what xdq card and reader. Bought this mostly for wild life. Thanks.

I have always gotten good results with the 16mm-80mm lens on the D500. The lens hood is kind of big, and the lens is not light, but it's a good solid performer and great as a walk around lens. Never had any focusing issues and results are sharp throughout the range. I bought the Sony 64GB XQD card and reader and have never had any issues with either. The card reader also reads SD cards.

Agree with the 16-80 2.8-4 lens. I had one on a D7500. It's a great, sharp walk around lens.
Equivalent to a 24-120

I read about the Nikon XQD cards in a photography magazine. It seems that they're only available at camera stores in Japan right now. They should bring them over here to the US.
or buy from Nikon since they do sell it ? I checked their website recently. only 64 though.

It sounds to me like he sold all his crop stuff before he bought the D500, now he wants to replace that lens.

Please allow me to get away from the main discussion, but being a novice I always am intrigue about a photographer owning several cameras including more than one of the same. I know there must be a reason but I am curious. Thank you.
