[QUOTE="§am, post: 137650, member: 9187"] I like my 18-55mm, has given me some great shots, but I've been looking into an alternative too, so this topic will be of use to me too. I currently have my eyes on the 18-105mm as it's reasonably priced for the budget I have, and although it overlaps a fair amount with my 55-200mm, I can safely say as the later doesn't see much use beyond say 150mm, I wouldn't be seeing too much of a loss anyway :) From review I've read, hands on experience too, the 18-105 is as good as the 18-55mm, and although both are considered entry level lenses, they are in fact very good :) Out of my budget is the 16-85mm which seems like a very nice lens, doesn't overlap my 55-200mm too much and gives me 2mm extra wide at the bottom end too. But it is a hefty priced lens, and for me possibly not as useful as I think it would be. I have been interested by some of the FX lenses too, e.g. 24-85mm or the 24-120mm but I'm not keen on losing the wide end so much, but given a few have turned up on Fleabay, price might draw me in :) [/QUOTE]
