[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 188028, member: 13090"] Personally I love my Nikon f3.5/5.6 18-105mm; it's the lens that's on my camera unless I know I need something else. No, it's not perfect but it does *so* much *so* well that it rarely comes off my camera and what it doesn't do well is easily corrected for in post processing. It's your "Jack of all Trades, Master at None" sort of lens. Also, at some point you need to stop thinking in terms of, "What lens do I need to get the shot I want?" and start asking yourself, "How do I get the shot I want with the lens I have?" One train of thought leads to glass acquisition, the other leads to better photography. That being said, don't dismiss Tamron, Tokina or Sigma lenses. All of those companies make some extraordinary lenses that can equal, or surpass, Nikon-branded glass. Do yourself a huge favor and simply dismiss brand loyalty right now and understand that every lens purchase must be looked at individually if you want to maximize return on your investment.
