Think about new Nikkor 18-140 3.5-5.6 DX-G

[donaldjledet]

Would this one be a good one also for Plantations and skyscrapes, Ships, River traffic and of course wetlands ,swamps,those very big Oak trees we have down here in south louisiana?

Thanks

Its just around $100.00 more then the 85mm 1.8G I just bought last weekend.

It has a decent range for a general walk-around photography.

Know anything about Image quality of the lens?

Just the image shown from Nikon's website. Nothing too spectacular. Just another kit lens with longer reach than the 55 or 18-105.

It will be a few months before you see many reviews. Nikon's latest new lenses have been excellent and designed for the newer, more dense sensors. I bought the new Fx 18-35 without much review and it is excellent

Thanks guys,
it should be as good as the 18-105 but like you said with
more reach.

Will be very interesting to see some images & reviews in the future.

I certainly won't be dumping my 18-105 for one considering the price. The 18-140mm costs half again as much as the 18-105mm ($600 vs. $400) but only gives you 25% more zoom.

Now if the IQ turns out to be just off-the-charts smashingly good, then I'll be forced to reconsider my position. As it appears it's just another consumer-grade lens, though, I'm not holding my breath.

It is not really about the zoom or the prices yet i Think. They will probably make replace the 18-105 with this lens. After a few monts the price will be much lower and you will havel 18-140 in stead of 105.
