Having trouble settling on an all-around lens (Nikon)
Since switching from Sony to Nikon the only difficulty I've had is settling on a standard zoom. On the Sony, the 16-85 CZ was my go-to lens. With Nikon, I tried the 18-200 and 18-105 and wasn't pleased with the IQ of either. Now I've got the 17-55 f/2.8 and, while the image quality is excellent, the range is rather… -

Re: Having trouble settling on an all-around lens (Nikon)
The 16-85 arrived today but I haven't had a chance to mount it on the camera yet - maybe tomorrow. Matt - I had the 50mm f/1.8G but found 50mm just a bit too long for indoor candids on a crop sensor.

But honestly, it always just felt like a stepping stone to a D700 and 24-70. The 17-55 2.8 has a WEIRD issue with focus shift, and my copy was REALLY bad… -
Re: Having trouble settling on an all-around lens (Nikon)
Thanks guys. I will look in to the Nikon 18-70 and the 16-85. As I said, I don't care about low-light because I have the 35mm f/1.4 that's my primary indoor lens. (I was using the 50mm f/1.8G also but that's just a little too long for most indoor shooting I do.) Fred - I may well rent it, but as I said, sometimes it's…
