<p>Just stumbled upon this (somewhat old) thread. I also have a D7100 and already own the Nikkor 18-200 VR II. I'm a decided amateur, but like some of the posters, I've noticed a clear difference between my prime lens 50mm 1.4 and the 18-200. I know this is to be expected b/c I'm giving up some quality in exchange for the convenience. But the sentiment w/in the thread is that this lens is not a good fit w/ the 7100. My question is: for a versatile, travel-type lens, what would you recommend in its place? I love, love, love my 50mm lens and use it most of the time, but there are obviously some times where I need a lens with some range. And to have better quality (even if it doesn't measure up to the prime lenses) would be awesome. Thanks!</p>
