[QUOTE="Dennis Kussener, post: 230898, member: 16439"] Well I own a 17-55mm, It's build like a tank. It's a real pro lens the 2.8 is gorguis. But it's an old lens. don't get me wrong, I love it. But it lack's a little sharpness sometimes at 2.8 on my D7100. I've tested it on a D7000 of a friend of mine and the shots where actually sharper. Actually the MUCH cheaper sigma 17-50mm f2.8 has better sharpness than the nikon 17-55mm. But its a plastic lens... If you're happy with your varaible aperture 70-300, I guess the 18-85mm would do just fine. At F8 the 16-85 scharpness won't be that much diferent as the 17-55 I guess ;) [/QUOTE]
