Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX (VR) Lens

Selling the 18-105mm lens that came with my D90. It has always had a filter on it, so the front glass is immaculate. No issues with it, and the outside doesn't show any wear either.

Eh for the added range, yes. I have read that the 18-55 is sharper. You wouldn't want to carry both as the 18-55 covers half of its range. In your case I'd either get the 55-200 VR which can be acquired for pretty cheap. Other option would be to get the 18-200 VR which a lot of people really like.
