[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 631836, member: 43545"] Well, it is definitely better for sharpness than the 18-105 but the 18-105 is a fine versatile lens for 12-16mpx sensors and I used mine with great effect on a D90 and even on a D7000 but its weaknesses in ultimate resolving power shows up on the D7100 and 7200. If it is a really good price the 24-85 would be a step up but still light and small and full frame image circle plus 1 ED lens. It was the kit lens on the Kit D600 I believe. So whether to get it depends on value to you and what you shoot. It is a little long on the wide end on a Dx sensor camera but long enough on the long end to be a pretty decent portrait lenses. I would pass on it however if you have plans to get a wider range faster lens or mid primes which are going to perform better. [/QUOTE]
