[quote name='dhazeghi' timestamp='1313086641' post='10638']

Hello,



given that this is a lens testing site and the folks here have more than average experience comparing lenses(!), I was wondering what people think is the best (optically) of the 5x standard zoom lenses (24-120mm or thereabouts). I'm particularly interested in lenses for the smaller sensors (4/3 and APS-C) as these systems offer small prosumer bodies. From what I can see the options are:



Canon: 15-85/3.5-5.6 (EOS 600D)

Nikon: 16-85/3.5-5.6 (D5100)

Sony: 16-80/3.5-4.5 (A55)

Olympus: 12-60/2.8-4.0 (Panasonic G3)



Since all these systems offer decent prosumer 16-18MP bodies, and I'm looking for a backup walk-around kit, I figure it makes sense to consider the lenses first and foremost.



Thanks,



DH

I would suggest;



- DX (D5100 + 16-85mm)



or,



- the upcoming Nex-5n (most probably it will have the 16MP sensor of D5100)
