Well I am the proud owner of a D7100 as of today. Sold my D3100 and 18-55, 55-200 this morning.
I have had a bit of a play with it using an AFS 24-85 (non vr ), I bought this lens a while back in anticipation for a move to a D600, which wont happen now.
I was never happy with this lens on my D3100, the 18-55 produced better images. This lens seems to produce a lot of noise, even at low ISO settings.
I am not too impressed with it on the D7100 either. It will get sold along with a 70-300D to help finance a 16-85.
Here are a couple of pics which I took on a walk around my backyard, the camera is still pretty much on the default settings.
1st one is ISO-100, f4.5, 1/40th, @58mm.
This one is ISO-800, f4.2, 1/200th, @45mm.
