"image quality is pretty impressive. The lens is very sharp in the center of the frame at almost all settings, and while the extreme corners are a little soft wide open on full frame (especially at 16mm), they sharpen up well on stopping down to normal working apertures. Chromatic aberration is also strikingly low, which contributes greatly to producing clean-looking images. At its very best - stopped down to F8 or F11, and especially around the 24mm mark - the lens's rendition of fine detail right across the frame is simply breathtaking. Throw in excellent build quality, fast and silent focusing, plus efficient VR, and this all adds up to a very desirable package."
On launch, Nikon seemed intent on characterizing the 16-35mm as 'the wide zoom for D700 users', designed to complement the smaller full frame body design. But to see it as some kind of poor relation to the D3(X) user's 14-24mm F2.8 is decidedly to miss the point, as in many ways the 16-35mm is a far more practical lens. For landscape photographers it's easier to carry around all day (due to its significantly lighter weight), and it additionally allows you to use filters such as neutral density gradients and polarizers much more easily. It obviously doesn't provide such a wide field of view, but most of the time it's wide enough, and the significantly extended long end means that you can plausibly leave it on the camera much more of the time, minimizing the need for lens swapping. The efficient VR also enables hand-held shooting in lower light than the faster lens, just as long as you don't need to freeze subject motion.
