Yea, I shouldn't have use AF-C when DOF using wide aperture at 200mm. Should have focus and re-compose.

I'm also using D70s. hehehe

go for a 70-300 VR instead if ur budget is low.

you will regret if you buy 18-200 VR. My friend Regretted buying the 18-200 VR, and he buying a 70-300VR or a 70-200VR

i still prefer the 70-200VR, AF fast. just get a 2x teleconverter if u can reach the range you want. good for sports , if u have the budget.

Good for you. The most important to consider when you want to purchase a lens is to always align back to your needs.

True. I will love to have that But it isn't justifiable at this point in time, unless we are paid for sports photography...or else it will be an elephant in the 'box'

Oh yea, I was in white t-shirt and black bermudas carrying a big back pack.

the 18-200 is a superb travelling lens...saves lots of time changing lens, and you miss moments

the 70-200VR is way to ex for me... i dont start earning money,just a student, thank guys i think a 18-200mm will do fine.

It is a fine lens. Get a 50mm 1.8 also if you do not have one yet
