Advice please

Hi, I was just wanting a little bit of advice from d7100 users, I am using my old 18-55 kit lens, which has served me very well but I need something new like 24-70 or something similar..Thanks

Nikon d3100
Nikon d7100
18-55mm
55-200mm
35mm
90mm macro
Samyang 8mm fisheye

The 24-70 is not quite wide enough for the DX cameras like the D7100

Why do you think you need a different lens?

My wedding assistant used her D7200 with her 24-70 f2.8 perfectly well for years. The Nikon version of the lens is a cracker and due to there being a new VR version of it, can be found a bit cheaper than usual.

What do you mainly shoot?

Are you wanting to get another lens to get more length or wider or faster or.... ? I use the 18-55 and like it for what it is. I use it on the D5300 which works well for what I use it for. I have the D7100, but for whatever reason, I haven't had anything on it except the 70-300 VRII. It all depends on your shooting styles, I would imagine. To give you a good answer, let us know what you want to achieve.

For something close to your 18-55mm, but faster and sharper, consider the Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM. If you want a little more reach, and assuming you're willing to give up a little something on the wide-end, consider the Tamron SP 24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD.

When I shot DX only, I used the Nikon 17-55 2.8, which is the DX counterpart to the 24-70. Nice lens and less expensive than the Nikon 24-70.

It would be great to know what you shoot mostly and your style of shooting.

But in saying that the 24-70 f/2.8 would be a great choice.

I can recommend the Nikon 16-85mm vr its an excellent walk about lens.......

Thanks for all your replies, yes it think its something faster like a 2.8 that id like as my go to lens so as im not really changing to the 35mm to get that nice bokeh.

Hi Scott i dont really focus on one thing to shoot, its a variety of things,i would shoot a lot of street stuff.

The new 16-80 2.8-4 looks pretty sweet...not cheap though.
