[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 497804, member: 12257"] I use the 18-55 on my D7100 all the time (had it from my D3100 kit), and to be honest, I'm not sure why people refer to the "limitations" of the lens so often. It's a fantastic lens, for a non-fixed aperture lens, and it allows me to get much closer to subjects than most of the other non-macro lenses out on the market, and still maintain focus... and I've been known to heavily crop pics shot with that lens without a worry at all. Best answer, though - You have the lens, so shoot it! If it worked well for you on the D40, I'm betting it will work just as well or better on the D7100. You're going to be the one that decides whether or not it's working well or "limited" by getting some real world examples. The 17-55 is a workhorse for that focal range, too, or so I've heard, and a lot of folks love the "limited" (TIC) 18-140. ;) Welcome to the forums, btw. Looking forward to seeing your pics! [/QUOTE]
