Thinking about exchanging my 18-135 nikon lens for Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX .
However finding it difficult to view any images from this lens, any one used it if so, how have you found it over all.
Would my move be the right one.

Thanks

I shot a large proportion with my D60 + 16-85 VR.

Its a really good lens.
 
Look in my TP gallery. Any image there starting TP_DSC has been taken with the 16-85.
 
Thanks all for the replies. Images look good.
Am i benifiting by changing the lens i wonder?.

What is your current lens not doing for you, and what do you hope to gain with the change?

I guess only you can answer that!

Only you can tell that.

There have been some quality control worries about this lens on other review sites but I have not found any problems with mine (so far).

From 70 -135 seems to be a little soft, I was hoping to find something very much sharper, especially in landscape shots.
Still unsure if i will get any benifits going to the 16-85, I suspect the only way is to walk into a shop and try it on the camera, along side my 18-135.

Having said that there were some nice shots from the links above especially in DonnaM gallery..
 
Thanks Rocket. I wasn't sure anyone bothered to look at my gallery. Maybe I should put some more up.
