Nikon 16-85 Testing for the GAS Arrival

I am excited about my new GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) attack, to be collected next week: the Nikon D7500 and the Nikkor AF-S DX 16-80mm f2.8.

My aim is that this will be my new travel walk-around combo, especially for my next trip to Italy.

I'm hoping the 16-80mm with f2.8 will be great for outdoor scenic shots, plus great inside Churches.

The closest I can come to seeing what the 16-80 range will be like is having a play with my D7200 and a second hand 16-85mm f3.5 I purchased some time ago.

This morning I took some shots at Canada Bay. Stupidly, I didn't do any at exactly 80mm.

The 16mm is great for scenic shots:

Here is the Bushell's factory at 16mm and then with different zoom.

At 16mm:

At 42mm:

At 85mm:

Here are some shots of a bright blue car on the side of the road:

At 16mm:

At 34mm:

At 85mm:

Yes this is a great range.

Now I need to play around indoors. Although I'll probably have the actual GAS attack by then.
