Nikon 18-200 VR lens

[bonobo]

Hi. I just took some pictures with my 18-200 VR lens at my friends party. Using 200mm with VR = Active. 1/60, F5.6, ISO400. I found the picture taken quite noisy (or glossy). Is it normal?

ISO400, what camera are you using ?
Maybe you can post the pic here so we know what you are talking about.

It will be interesting to view at the glossy img.

Sorry, I must respect my friends' privacy. I try to crop part of a photo here.


My camera is D70s. I paid $1060 for a second hand one from a fellow CSer weeks ago.

$1060 for a 2nd hand D70s body??? You being ripped off man...

[arpinkor]

$1060 should be the price of the used 18-200 VR, right ?
Anyway, server still under maintenance so still can't see the pic, even at the link.

Frankly, your lens brand new is about 1k and not grey set.

Back to the problem.. i cant view it, but i believe the noise due to under exposing, which will show noise even at ISO200.

The other thing is i believe you shouldnt use active mode for such shots...

[petetherock]

Is that $1250 with GST?
Good price, can I have the contact please
Cheers

Thanks XC Pictorial for the advice. Was told by the seller that Active mode seems to work better for him in all circumstances...

Does the lens barrel creep slowly or pretty fast when tilted at about 45 degrees? I shot at 35mm, view the picture (lens tilted downwards) for 5~6 secs and the lens may be at >= 135mm... Is this normal?
