Nikkor AFS-DX ZOOM-18-200mm -VR is selling around $700 in US Market, so the price is out of your budget.If you wanna buy portrait lens, I recommend to you AF 85mm f/1.8D,it is quite good lens for portrait shooting.:cool:

yeah i agree with u.. no need to carry few lens out.. guess start to save n plus ang bao money after cny.. maybe can get one.. hee
 

I'm waiting for review first and when it is more widely available.
Would it be prudent to sell of my 18-70 kit lens to get this?
 

nothing prudent or inprudent abt it. it's a duplicate of range and you won't bring both lens out, so might as well just sell off the 18-70 when u got the VR 18-200.

Thanks for the advise mpenza. But I'm also curious about the sharpness. At this point there are no official reviews or sample images for the 18-200mm VR. So I will just hold on to my kitlens :D

Thanks for the link. However, while what is written there looks good, I would like another opinion before I take the plunge. Ken Rockwell writes good reviews. I've never seen him writing a bad one. Best is to wait until its in the shops and I can test it out for myself with my camera. And I can't wait for that day to come;p
