What lens is on your d5300 right now.....?

For me it is Nikon 16-85mm I call it my walk about lens..............

My 18-55 kit lens. (unemployed for the moment)
I have an old 300mm f4 screw focus (manual on the D5300). I had to pull it out the other day to get a picture of a feral cat that has been hanging around.
And my 500mm reflex (total noob purchase!) is manual everything, metering included. It can be fun, but I hope to sell both at a loss and get a long zoom with VR someday. And a 35mm, of course.

18-140... I'm new to photography but so far pretty happy with the versatility of this lens.

My next one will be the 70-300 AFS.

Yes I do. 18-140

Tamron SP AF 90mm Macro

The 18-55 kit lens.

There's a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art series lens I remember buying a while back that has found a near-permanent home on my GF's D5300.

Tokina 11-20mm 1.8... Swapped it for my Nikkor 50mmm 1.8 twice since I bought it (9 days ago!) but my trusty walkaround 18-200mm hasn't had a look in!

My Nikon 16-85 is on mine most of the time

16-85mm.................

I'm using a Tamron 16-300 zoom. Been using Tamron glass since I had my D70s and am quite happy with it.

The kit 55-300mm typically lives on the D5300 for my wife's needs, but I'll also cycle through the 35mm/f1.8 FX prime on this guy when shooting events.

I noticed that the 16-85 is the standard lens being offered on the D500. I am tempted to buy the D500, but when comparing features and benefits of the 500 versus my 5300, apart from a more rugged build, faster processing of RAW data when taking rapid shots and more focus points, I can't really see any difference. In theory the 5300 should have better IQ because of the better resolution. Am I missing something?

So I started comparing lens - my two walkabouts are the 18-140 and the 10-24. Neither of them have "Excellent" IQ but they seem to provide me with almost perfect 11x14s and superb 10x8s or below. Is the 16-85 noticeably better in IQ (and if anyone could comment on whether or not the D500 is really worth the extra bucks I'd be grateful.

Lately, I've just been shooting shots of the little one, so my 105mm f/2.5 ai-s pretty much stayed attached the whole time.
