FredKingston: it looks like our colleague is actually concerned with the amount of distortion (especially: barrel distortion) of this lens. Now, it sure does not have much to do with whether the photo is displayed on a monitor or it is printed.
Here's a nice and quick review on this lens (if it is that particular model) - take a closer look to those sample images and decide for yourself:
Nikkor AF-S 16-35mm f/4 G ED VR (FX) - Review / Test Report
-Make sure the camera's internal distortion correction is turned on.
-Distortion can be additionally corrected, at the expense of the size of the image (distortion correction usually crops the photo - the corners and the sides get slightly cut-off). I use photoshop's lens distortion correction utility (custom/manual mode) and it worked just fine with my (extremely prone to distortions) Samyang 14mm.
-About alternatives: if you don't really need that 16mm, I'd suggest the lens that I own (and am very pleased with): Tokina 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5. Very sharp, with well controlled distortions. Yes, it is an OLD model, does not have a built-in motor drive (you don't need it with D610), but is very affordable (under 150$ in a mint condition) and does the job (if it does
)...
