Planning a trip to Europe and I don't have any wide-normal zoom. Thinking about Nikon 18-35mm G, 24-120mm F4, or this lens if it's not too heavy/big. Is the older 28-105mm AF-D good with D600? Does anyone use that combination?
The 28-105D (I've owned two copies and tried out many more) was just OK at 12MP, so 24MP will surely be disappointing unless you will be printing/viewing small size images. I found it to be a very very versatile lens.
I was hoping that the Sigma would be a great replacement for the 28-105D, but it's larger, heavier, and the MTF data does not look all that promising to me. Plus that filter thread just kills it as the largest filter I have is 77mm and I really don't want to need to buy yet another $100+ filter just for one lens.
Surely Nikon could come out with a new 28-105AFS VR that would be killer, but their recent history with the 24-85AFS and 24-120/4 shows that the either don't want to or are incapable of producing a wide-to-short tele that is very very good across the frame at 16MP let alone 24MP, or 36MP.
