[QUOTE="skater, post: 551758, member: 19158"] Hi, everyone! I have an 18-105 lens that came with my D7000. It works reasonably well, but is starting to get beat up. (Somehow, I tore the thin plastic surround over the front of the lens, and it keeps getting worse as I catch the tear with the lens cap. Plus, hey, upgrade.) So I'm looking at upgrading it, and I have an opportunity to buy something duty free soon. I use this lens for practically everything - on our current vacation, at least half of my pictures so far have been with the 18-105. Indoors, outdoors, you name it. The 18-140 looks like a possible choice, but are there options I'm missing? The 16-80 2.8 would be great, but it's out of my price range. Also, I don't want to lose the low end of the zoom - I often take pictures of large objects without being able to get far back.
