It's Vibration Reduction and has a constant aperture unlike other VRs in this range. This allows manual exposure video shooting without having to adjust you exposure from f/3.5-5.6 as you change focal length with other VR lenses.

But yes it's strange that it wasn't 2.8 but Canon seems to have a similar problem with IS, image stabilization, and is only offering a 24-105mm f4 IS in the full-frame 35mm range. Though they offer a 17-55mm IS for the EF-s 1.6x format.

It must be difficult for VR or IS floating elements and still get below f/4 in the wide-angle range. I guess telephotos don't have the issue because the have a much smaller angle of view.

->> I'm guessing the 16-35 f/4 is out for the price point in the DX cameras.
