[QUOTE="westmill, post: 59755, member: 9330"] Oh my... this is a tuffy lol mmmm my most used lens is prob the 18-70mm. Its fairly fast compaired to most being an F3.5-4.5 It focusses very very quickly and accurately, it has a degree of weather proofing and performs as high if not higher than the 17-55 F2.8 at the acorrding aprature ranges and its silent. In terms of resolution, the lattest generation of so called kit lenses are truly superb. So good in fact, that the only reason to buy the true pro stuff is if you need faster glass or better build quality. I also have a tamron 17-50 F2.8. This too gives superb results but has its flaws, but only at the wide 17mm setting. I have a number of primes too, but the truth is, I rarley use them anymore. Zooms have come a long way over the years. I have a fondness for the old 70-210 F4-5.6 D lens. Its fairly fast focussing, well built and gives wonderful bokeh and colour rendition. You can get mint examples very very cheaply on Ebay etc too lol. Highly recomended ! The old 24-85mm is a fantastic and seemingly forgoton lens. Far superior to the later F4 version which is now discontnued. Nikon did the right thing in keeping the older version. Its a great lens that seems to often get over looked. The best lens Ive owned for DX is the 16-85mm though. Its simply great at all focal lenghs. [/QUOTE]
