[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 137771, member: 10447"] I am also looking at a new lens in this range, I have decided to stay with DX for now, I am looking at upgrading to a D7100 soon and want a decent walk around zoom. I have looked at dozens of reviews and write-ups, from Nikon and 3rd party offerings. I seem to keep coming back to the Nikon 16-85, the only downside for me is the variable aperture, if this lens was a constant f4 I would be sold on it. Though the price would no doubt go up if it was. I have also considered the 24-120 f4, but think I would miss having the wider end on a DX body (16 - 24), this was the lens I was wanting to get if I went the D600 route. I think my 70-300 would compliment the 16-85 better. One thing that has surprised me reading the earlier posts, are the comments regarding the 18-105 compared to the 18-55. I would have expected it to be a step up in picture quality. [/QUOTE]
