[QUOTE="Akiviri, post: 137619, member: 13536"] This is the site I use to compare lenses - they don't have the full reviews up yet for Nikon, but usually the chart shots suffice to get a 'feel' for the lens - all the reviews do for me is confirm what I see on the charts, and give a couple real-world shots anyway. [url=http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=665&Sample=0&FLI=0&API=0&LensComp=412&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=0]Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S ED VR DX Nikkor Lens Image Quality[/url] Sorry I don't have a link for MTF charts - they seem to be 'top secret' or something as every link I follow tends to be either a dead-end, or in Japanese lol. I went with the 18-105 F3.5 - only because I had the 18-135 from 'that other company' and found that I rarely went beyond 100mm or so anyway, and rarely wanted anything wider - so it seemed a good fit for me. Time will tell overall, but from my putzing around shots (all I can do with uncooperative weather) I think it will be fine, and it doesn't break the bank. [/QUOTE]
