3 sty 2012 · The only thing you get from a 18-105 is a distance scale in/on the lens but give up 85 -105 at twice the price. I doubt if there is much difference in weight. Both the 18-105 & 16-85 share the same 67mm filter size.
17 lis 2012 · On one hand, the 18-105mm wins because of its price and image quality that's similar to the 16-85mm but, on the other, the 16-85mm's "VRII", metal mount, and wider end makes it the "best" walkaround DX lens.
The 16 85 has better build quality, but if we see the price difference the 18 105 is ok as well. The 18 105 is bigger, but if we don’t consider price the 16 86 is much better build.
29 gru 2008 · I had a chance to compare 18-105 with 16-85 and found that 16-85 was MUCH superior to 18-105 in all aspects: sharpness, contrast and colors. 18-200 is also better 18-105 as I recall. 16-85 is the best consumer lens for now, I believe.
If you have the $600 or so to spend that the 16-85 costs, then you should compare it not to the 18-105, but to the 18-200VR or to the 18-105 with an additional 50mm/1.4 lens that you can get for the same total price.

9 maj 2013 · In my opinion, the 16-85/18-105 is about as sharp as it is going to get with a f/3.5-5.6 crop frame lens. As for better overall IQ the FF 24-70 f/2.8 is about as good as it will possibly get with a zoom but, it has a rather limited range and hefty price tag.
