Looking for a everyday walk around lens that's not a portrait lens?

[TBonz]

What lens or lenses do you have now?  What is it that you find you are missing from your current lenses?

180-400?  Don't think there is an 18-400...I seriously doubt that the180-400 would be the best choice for the OP considering the price point, but it certainly looks like a nice lens.

I guess that fallout means the Tamron 18-400 superzoom. It can't be too bad as it won the EISA award for innovation. I don't know more than that about it as the only superzoom I have owned is the 35-350 Canon L behemoth I inherited from my father.

yes tamron 18-400mm was not saying the 12k nikon 180-400mm

The Nikkor AFS 16-85mm VR DX is a good walk around lens for any DX camera. It's not as fast or sharp as the AFS 16-80 but it's a lot cheaper.  A good, relatively inexpensive, kit can be made by combining the aforementioned 16-85 and the Nikkor AFS 70-300mm VR FX.  I personally tend to shy away from all purpose lenses such as the Tamron 18-400. But that's just me.

Another nice walkaround kit is a Tamron 17-50/2.8 and the AF-S 70-300 VR  Ron mentioned. I am surprised at how well the old Tamron handles a 24 MP DX sensor.
