D90 and 16-85mm vr

[Jim D80]

Does anyone have this combination and if so can you tell me if you have tried using in movie mode with this lens and whether you are happy with the outcome?

Just got my D90 a few days ago and the 16-85 yesterday. I took one short movie with an 18-55 VR ( did not get the kit lens with the D90 - body only) and I thought it was fine. I tried a short video on the 16-85 today and it was fine as well, There isn't any real difference to my eye - I would consider the results to be as good as with any other similar lens, sorry but not much else to add. I really noticed the improved sharpness of the 16-85 on stills though and so far I think it's the perfect "walk around" for the D90

I'd be interested in that regardless of the mode of operation.

I sold my 18-200mm today to replace for the 16-85mm. I've heard it was a great lens to have with the D90 and I will be shooting a lot in movie mode.

Thanks for your info!!

The 18-55 is gone - I had bought it a month ago for my D40 and was able to return it for full purchase price when I bought the 16-85 which seemed like a better match for the D90 than the 18-55. Sorry.
