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.
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.

That being said, the 16-85mm will have better build quality and slightly better image quality than the 18-105.
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.
29 gru 2008 · If I sell my 17-55, the only lens I get back is 16-85, nothing else, if I still stick with Dx. Yes, you can use 18-55, 18-105 then spend more time for post processing to produce good pictures. If you use 17-55, you may put less efforts. Price vs time, efforts and picture quality...on the same hand.
