NIKON AF-S NIKKOR 16-85 mm f/3.5-5.6 G VR ED SWM Standard Zoom Lens

Good range of focal lengths. Useful manual focus override. Overall a very useful lens and far superior in performance to the kit lens.

The manual referred to the supply of a lens hood and soft carrying bag. These were no provided. A little on the pricey side.

So much better than the kit lens.

Ideal range of focal length. Very good image quality

None (unless you don't think the jump from the "kit" zoom lens is worth it, but we are in the zone of diminishing returns re % improvement -v- % cost)
