Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR Lens on Nikon D810?

7 years 9 months ago #489780 by Foxy Girl
I just bought a new Nikon D810 and need to upgrade my glass.  I'm looking for feed back on this lens if any of you can provide some.  I'm mainly wondering about this being an f/4 lens.  It's not an f/2.8.   So, worth getting?

Its my favorite wide lens on my D800. Easily accepts filters and with a camera so good at high ISOs, and the fact landscapes are usually shot at smaller apertures it was a no brainer for me. Very good for night, Milky Way/star trails as well.  A little distortion at 16mm, easily fixed in post. My advice: get that one.....;)
The reviews agree.....

Why so serious?

The 4.0 versus 2.8 isn't that big of a deal anymore as far as ISO is concerned. The shallow DOF of a 2.8 is not going to be a lot greater than 4.0. If you are choosing subject and background placement, you can get the same look.

Go for it if you can afford it.
