New 24-85 vs 16-85

Using the D7000 the 16-85 VR is the clear winner between these two. In fact, the 16-85 VR is the best lens in this zoom range, period - for the D7000. Do 4-6 hrs of researchand I am sure you will agree . . . or flop around here and get a half dozen differing opinions from folks with hugely differing photographic backgrounds.

If you are in love with the upper end, the new Nikon 70-200 f4 is the absolute winner.
