Lens Decision

Ok, regardless of the wide angle, I really want to know about the 16-85 vs 18-105.

Thanks for the help though.
 
I still cannot decide, but I think I want to get the 85, any reasons not to?
 
The 16-85 is superior build quality to the 18-105, also has the newer VR system in it.

AF-S 16-85 DX VR II 3.5 - 5.6
AF-S 18-105 DX VR 3.5 - 5.6

Same aperture ranges, so will let in a similar amount of light. The 105, when zoomed to 85 is still probably 5.6 aperture anyway, if not it's very close to it.

I find the optical quality is better on the 16-85, and I tend to recommend it to people over the 18-105. I sell the stuff for a living :p (And no, I don't recommend it just because it's double the price :p )
 
Thanks alot, that is the help I have been looking for.
 
I picked the 16-85, should I get any filters?
 
Circular polarizer is highly recommended. Good to have a UV filter around to protect the glass and cut haze in certain situations.
