Re: Help me decide between 18-70mm, 18-105mm and 16-85mm

18-70 or 16-85. The lens mount on the 18-105 is junky plastic which will abrade and leave plastic debris in your mirror box, which will later make its way onto your sensor.
I suppose if you never change lenses it would be all right.

Gerald, as once before I advised you , you must have a screwed up metal lens mount , perhaps a burr or you are just plainly overly rough with them because I`ve not experienced or read of any shredding issues with any of Nikon`s plastic mounts. Neither have I seen extraordinary specs of dust on the sensor caused from it. Personally I think it is just as possible for metal to grind together and cause the same effects.
While these mounts are probably not as durable as metal they certainly aren`t junk either.
You might have had an isolated negative experience but it certainly doesn`t reflect in the greater community of users.
Maybe you ought to stop dispensing false blanket statements based on your grudge against plastic mounts .
That said I don`t change lenses often but isn`t that the primary reason for wanting to buy a 18-105 zoom ?
