AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR overview
The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR is a 16–80mm f/2.8–4 zoom for APS-C cameras on Nikon F, announced by Nikon in July 2015. 9 cameras we track take it without an adapter. It is discontinued, so new stock may be limited.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits, landscapes and interiors, and travel. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust.
No store we track in Singapore lists it today. It is listed in the United States.
Worth comparing it with the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR.

An APS-C lens also mounts on full-frame bodies of the same mount, where it crops the frame; those aren't listed.
