[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 266543, member: 986"] Moving to FX, one minor concern was the occasional need for a general use or walk-around lens. When I had my D300, the NIKKOR 18-200 filled this niche nicely. I had read reviews on [URL="http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=110"]Fred Miranda[/URL] and [URL="http://slrgear.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/119"]SLR Gear[/URL] and a discussion on [URL="http://www.flickr.com/groups/799383@N23/discuss/72157629843950356/"]Flickr[/URL] regarding the [URL="http://www.europe-nikon.com/en_GB/product/discontinued/nikkor-lenses/2006/28-105mm-f-3-5-4-5d-af-zoom-nikkor"]AF Zoom-NIKKOR 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 IF[/URL]. I did a little more research and thought it had a great focal length and was pretty darn small and light. The lens also has the ability to shoot macro.
