Wide Angle

This is a professional grade, wide angle lens for professionals and advanced amateurs. This is not a lens for "Getting It All In" it's a lens this is a "Shove The Viewers Nose In It" lens and at 16mm it does a great job of that. If you're looking for a wide angle lens and don't want to shell out for another stop of light, this is definitely the lens for you.

This is for the person who doesn’t want to carry a bag of lenses around, if you only want one lens, and you have a DX camera, this is that lens.

Incredibly Zoom Range: The 11x zoom range of the 18-200 is the highest of any zoom lens I’ve encountered. If you’re looking for an all in one lens for your DX camera, this is it.

This is a professional grade, super wide angle lens that is used for very special purposes. This is not a “Get it all in” lens, this is a shove your viewers nose in it lens that 90% of the time isn’t necessary, but when it is, this lens excels at it.

The Nikon 16mm f/2.8D Fisheye is a special purpose lens for people who want a full 180 degree view in their images and are ok with sacrificing the ability of straight lines to remain straight.
