[QUOTE="singlerosa_RIP, post: 173637, member: 15556"] Can't comment on the 16-85, but I bought the 17-55 last year for my D7K and it's an awesome lens. Constant aperture beats variable aperture in a "which one is the best?" contest any day of the week. But depending on how serious you are, what you shoot and what your budget is, will determine what you should buy. Any time I was concerned with coverage, I used the 18-200. When I am concerned with best possible quality, it's 2.8 glass. In May, I added a D600 to my kit, along with a 24-70, eliminating the need for my 17-55. If you decide to go with the 17-55 and would consider a mint, used lens, mine is available for $900. [/QUOTE]
