[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 309219, member: 12257"] You've already got the 50mm 1.8g and the 55-300, so I'd say save the bucks. I had several lenses already (listed below in my sig) so just didn't see the need. In truth, my 50mm and 70-300mm are the two lenses on my camera most of the time, and I only use the 18-55 for the times I need a shot in the 18-35 range, or want to be able to focus a bit closer (as it's minimal focus distance is around 12 inches or so). All the extra pixels with the D7100 will allow you to crop a bit more heavily, too. Sure, the 18-140 is a bit more versatile as a "carry one" walkabout lens, so you have to weigh out a couple hundred bucks vs. carrying another lens or two and being willing to switch on the run if needed. Just my .02, which is really only worth about .01 on a good day. :cool: [/QUOTE]
