Thank you all for the information.
Actually, I've seen reviews on the 16-85mm which seem very good. However, I bought the 18-200mm because everyone said it was better for traveling. I understand but I don't like my 18-200mm. It's not sharp. I then bought the 105mm F2.8 with VR. WOW, the macro shots I was able to make were great!!!!! I also bought the 35mm 1.8 and find it's not very sharp (I don't like it that much).
Now, I want a zoom lens that is as sharp as or almost as sharp as my 105mm but I understand that there's compromises with zoom lens. Now I'm finding that Canon might have better lenses then Nikon. Especially after the review on a professional lens like the 24-120mm F4. what's up with Nikon? Are they making cheap lenses just to match canon's focal length (this case 24-105mm). I've even considered the 80-400mm but see that it doesn't have good reviews. I saved some money and I can buy another lens. Maybe I should buy the 70-200mm, or maybe the 70-300mm. I heard good reviews on the 70-300mm and it's cheap. The 24-70 F2.8 might seem good but it doesn't have VR. I don't know anymore.
I guess I will wait until Photozone provides the review on the 24-120mm for DX (my D300s) and then decide.
Regards.
Denis.
