I had the old 70-300 AF, and I understand why you don't like it. I upgraded to the 70-300 AF-S with VR and it is so much better, especially above 200mm. You have a lot of choices, including the ...

I have a Vivitar Series 1 70-210 f3.5, the first version made by Kino, and it is the opposite of my AF lens. It is big, heavy, sharp and smooth to focus. Sadly I never got it AI converted and my ...

Created discussion thread HDR?
Ten years ago I was shooting with a D200, and shooting multiple images and combining them with photomatix produced a pleasing landscape. I noticed my D610 has an HDR mode, though I can't seem to ...

The manual focus on the Vivitar really sucks. Coming from a background where I used Nikkormats and AI/AIS lenses, the Vivitar feels like a cheap plastic toy. There is no smoothness.
-
I have the non G version, still getting used to it. From reading I see the G version is much better. And I get that I should save my pennies and get the G. In the interim I am using a D610 and just ...

I have both lenses. In general I agree with the comments. If you do close up shots on your walkabouts, the 28-105 is useful. But I tend to use the wide end of the 24 a lot as well.
-
Yes i have the pre G version and it is not impressive.
-
I have the crinkly version, pretty happy with it.
-
I have had no issues with the same lens on a D7000. This shot is cropped already.

About 12 years back I wanted some macro capability but could not afford a Nikkor. Read about some fantastic plastic and picked up the Vivitar 100mm. It was 1:2 out of the and came with an adapter ...
-
Optically the AF-P version is apparently mich better than the older AF-S versions.
-
I have a 35-70 as well but I always seem to want wider. I would not try the 18-55 on my fx camera. I have an 18-35 Nikkor but not the G one, and I am not very happy with it.
-
Try the AF 28-70 f3.5 - 4.5D. It is smaller than the 18-55mm, decent sharpness, faster at the long end.
-
I have one, but I haven't used it on film yet just on a D700 and D610. It is sharper at the wide end. Should be fine for most usage, I understand flare can be an issue, use a hood. You can ...
-
The 28-105mm is a good walk around lens with almost macro capability. You can pick a 28-70 for a song.
-
Not to be argumentative, but unless you factor in the costs of AI conversion, I would look for an AI or AIS version. Better coatings on the lens, better flare protection. I saw an AI 105mm f2.5 on ...
-
I enjoy the lens. Perhaps not as fast to focus as a 70-200 F2.8 (which I don't own), but fast enough for some action work.
-
I have not owned an 18-70, but would seriously consider it. No VR, but better build quality, wider range. I would be at 55 it is sharper than the 18-55, at least the early versions.

Refurbished 16-80 at Nikon USA $899.00 Refurbished at B&H $799 Beat up copy at Ebay with broken filter ring and very worn. $389 The man said $300 but he was hoping he could spend less. Do you own ...
-
Of course the 16-80 is sharper and better than the 16-85, but the OP had a price limit of $300, and preferred to spend less. If you can find a 16-80 for under $300, you are a better shopper than I.
