What camera body do you use your 16-85mm on?  And are you always taking your shots at f/8 as suggested? :)

I believe that a lot of the controversy around the lens involves the fact that it was a kit lens and kit lenses, in general, have a bad reputation (mainly due to a series of low-quality kit lenses ...

Basically, you are saying that you got burned by buying a bad copy and are now looking for justification that you were scammed? As for the reason why most reviews are posting images from the D300 ...

Many of those veteran claims are made by better people than most on this forum! Here are a few quotes from Thom Hogan's review which was updated June 19, 2020 - Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G Lens Review (1) ...

The comparisons between the 16-85 and the 16-80 state that the two lenses are very close with 16-80 winning in the end.  Very few comparisons mentioned anything like "Yuck". There might be ...

I'm sure that they will be using Nikon OEM parts as the market is so small for parts I doubt any 3rd party supplier would make those parts. However, those OEM parts may not be NEW OEM parts but ...

Can't you just bring the D750 into a store and ask to try the battery out?

While the answer should be right, the link you pasted is wrong as the OP was asking about the D750 NOT the D780. Here's the correct link - ...

I see that the OP was using the Sigma 18-200 on their D7100 and D500 so at least according to their point of view, the Sigma did provide the level of quality they were expecting/looking for even ...

You can always add a bit of ink to each cart along with the Windex in order to tint the mix.  But you might want to do that after a couple of head cleanings so that you can that the system is as ...

In theory, you can. But you should try doing an exterior cleaning and soak of the head before filling carts with this stuff. I've found that filling carts with cleaning fluid is best for a ...

Almost anything has a resale market provided that the price is right... so yes, you can probably resell them at a later date but be ready to be at a substantially lower price than what you ...

Since you are used to shooting with an ultra-zoom (ie 18-200) as a walk-around lens, the real question is will you be happy with a lens with a smaller range? I've shot with a Nikon 18-200 as my ...

My PL Elite upgrade offer pre-BF was for $69 so another $10 off.  However, LAST YEAR, my upgrade price was $45...

IMHO, there's a reason why the introductory sale ended last week before BF... to allow for it to be on sale for BF. Of course, I could be wrong.

Not surprising at all if you consider that most manufacturers use sales to clear out the older models when new models are around the corner OR create some level of buzz around recently introduced ...

In regards to the general AF adjustment, the process is fairly easy from what I understand.  There's an adjustment screw in the mirror box that needs to be turned slightly to move the default ...

When I first got the D600, I was happy with the focusing as I was coming from a D7000 and that camera had issues with focus alignment to the AF-point - I remember trying to focus through some ...

I literally just got my D780 from Nikon a few weeks ago - it still has the new camera body smell - so I haven't had a chance to shoot any BIF or much shooting in general. Since I primarily used my ...

The funny thing about that 14% difference is that according to the benchmarks of the two CPUs in question, the E3 should be about 10% faster than the i5 (not overclocked).  If you take into ...
