  • I’m one of the most influential photographer of this decade. PDN survey.
    To my big surprise I am on the list of the most influential photographers of this decade. PDN magazine, the biggest photo magazine in the world and host of the PDN Photo Expo in new york every year, has asked the photographic community to list the most influential photographers of this decade. I feel terribly humble [...] […]
  • Great Christmas Presents for Photography loving Guys
    Great Christmas Presents for Photography loving Guys Since I am a photography loving guy myself, this is partly my own wish list. I will classify myself as a relatively skeptical and critical person. This list is for the slightly geeky type that enjoys nostalgic retro stuff and photography gadgets. This post I presume is for the [...] […]

  • LensBaby – More than just for fun
    Lensbaby images sell!… If you can get them online. That’s the tricky part. I simply love shooting with my lensbaby and actually have four of them. One for Nikon and three for my Canon.

Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR II DX

Written by astoner on 13 July 2008

  We recently returned from a really great vacation to Glacier National Park in Montana (pictures to follow).  Of course two weeks before we plan to leave my Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX which came with my Nikon D80 decides to quit working.  I checked into getting it repaired but I would not have gotten it back before we left for vacation.  I had been looking at the Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens to upgrade the kit lens and I finally broke down and bought it.

It is a great all purpose lens.  The wide angle of 18mm was nice for landscape photography and the zoom to Nikon 18-200200mm was great for zooming right in on the wild life, like the mountain goats at the goat lick.  I’d love to have a longer telephoto lens for the next trip but it’s not really necessary with this lens.  It also works great for taking pictures of some of the kids sporting events. 

  I do plan to get the 18-135mm kit lens repaired and then I’ll have to decide which one I need to sell.  Hopefully at that point I’ll be able to justify keeping the 18-200mm lens.
