[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 234334, member: 10447"] About 9 months ago, I was asking myself those same questions. I wanted a decent mid range zoom for my D7100, I also have the 70-300VR. In the end I narrowed it down to the 16-85, and the Sigma 17-70. I almost went with the Sigma, I wanted to want it. The cheaper price was attractive, but in the end I went with the Nikon 16-85. I definitely have no regrets, the extra dollars are forgotten now. I am happy with the Photos I get with the 16-85, the only time I was wanting for a faster aperture was when I was taking photos inside an old cathedral, in the end I took it off and used my 35 f1.8, it wasn't wide enough, but I got some good photos all the same. I will add that when I got my D7100, I already had a Nikon 24-85 that I bought because I thought I was going to get the D600, I didn't find it a handy lens for dx, I preferred my 18-55 kit lens. I sold the 24-85 to fund the 16-85, which is a lot better than the 18-55. [/QUOTE]
