A real "sleeper" of a lens, is the 28-105mm. It is incredibly sharp,
covers most people's most often used range, has nice bokeh, and has a
good macro mode and even better is that it is about $250 US, has no
queue of people waiting to pounce on every one that becomes
available, and no battery draining VR mode (nor does it "need" one).
I suggest you go to www.dpreview.com and search on 28-105mm and see
the sample shots people have posted. It is a very impressive bargain
Nikon lens.

Good call on this lens. It's a bit slow and the front rotates which makes
it a bit of a pain under some situations, but an overall excellent lens.
It's definitely the 18-200mm VR killer for a third of the price. I've got
a
lot a use out of mine back in the day.

That lens was such a big surprise (how good it is), that I had to buy one
even though I have it's range covered a myriad of ways. It is a really
nice, general purpose lens at a bargain price.
