If want a 28-200mm range, I would rather go for the 1 million proven Tamron version. |

if you are going to spend $745 on this, you will be better off getting a better lens at that price or getting the Tamron 28-200XR which only costs less than half of it, ie $350. By getting Nikon, you extinguished one fo the advantages of 28-200s, ie that its cheap n value for the price.
at $745, u'd prob be better off getting one of those "proper" lenses hehe. Cheers! |

Just to inform you guys... there will be a revised version of this 28-200, coming out at the same time with the 24-120 AF-S G VR....
