I plan on going to NY (Manhattan) and plan on using a few different photography, Portrait (with background clear and blurred), and Landscape (Ground level (Sculptures) and sky-view (such as Top of the rock (Similar to empire state building.
I'm looking at two different lenses:
Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 DX AF-S G NIKKOR (2003-)

and
Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 FX AF-S G ED NIKKOR (2007-)
http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/24-70mm.htm
I was told that both lenses are compatible with D7100. I don't care about the price, I just want to know which would be better out of the two (for my needed uses). One person recommended the FX (because I want to do Portrait and Landscape and the portrait would be better for this lens) lens I was just wondering since the DX lenses was built for the D7100 why wouldn't it be better?
