[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 309241, member: 13076"] I did a test recently of the D7100 against the D4 and D800 with different lenses including the 18-140. I have yet to get all the photos together for the review thread (hopefully soon) but the 18-140 really doesn't bring out the full capability of the D7100 sensor. There is so much more that you would be missing. So I agree, save your money for more serious glass to take full advantage of that wonderful sensor resolution. You would probably be better off getting a 35mm f1.8 DX lens than the kit lens since you already have the 18-55 for more general use. Based on what I've seen with my 18-55, the 18-140 performs better but I don't think you gain that much as the 18-55 is in itself already a very good performer as a kit lens, although I haven't compared it with the 18-140 directly. As mentioned I would save your shekels for more serious glass down the road. [/QUOTE]
