I agree with the reply offered by GoofyNewfie dated 04/02/17. I use the Nikon 17-55mm f2.8 DX lens with Nikon D300s body.
I am very happy with this combination. When I save enough fund and catch the GAS bug, I might upgrade to a Nikon D500 body with proper approval by the higher authority.
The Nikon 200-500mm is great on the D500 too. If I owned that camera, I would strive to own that lens. It would be very good on the D7100/7200 as well. About $1400. The 17-55mm is a better option than the 18-55mm. My original kit lens that I own from years past.
