[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 638029, member: 24285"] I like variety. On my D7100, with DX lenses specifically I love the 35mm 1.8 - can't beat it for indoor use. The shorter zoom that gets a fair amount of mileage on the D7100 is a 16-85mm Nikkor - not as fast as 35mm but with a flash does great indoor and makes for a fine walk about. To go wide I have a Tokina 11-20 2.8, works very well. Wish it went a little longer find myself at the 20mm end more often than the 11mm. I also have a Sigma 10mm fisheye in DX - when you want to go really really wide. If indoor speed is an issue a fast 50 or 85mm works well. I've shot both my FX 1.4 50mm (an artsy Sigma) or the FX 1.8 85mm G by Nikon. For longer lenses I have a 55-300 but don't use it. I've also relegated my 18-55mm to the glove box. Found it useful there a few times when I was out with just my long lens (200-500) and suddenly the urge to shoot wider overcame me. When going long I tend to use one of my FX lenses on the D7100 If size matters then the 70-300 Tamron works well. This is my cycling combo, the 70-300 on the D7100. For fast and long cannot beat the 70-200 2.8 workhorse (I have the older VRI version - if it ain't broke don't fix it or replace it) But the one that gets the most use would be the 200-500mm or at least it used to. Now that I have a D500 the 200-500 spends most of it's time connected to the D500. And if my funky artsy side gets lose I pull out my case of Lensbaby gear and plunk it onto the D7100 when I want the DX crop benefit. I do not have one of those ultra zooms 18-XXX but have looked at them. Sigma has a 18-250 that is a macro and the price is tempting, but if money is no object the new 18-400 Tamron looks very interesting as an all in one with great reviews. If I was just starting out I'd look hard at that one if the 18-200mm is coming up short for you. [/QUOTE]
