Just upgraded to D200, and with a friend who wants my D70 kit set I now need to purchase back a mid zoom. Since I already have 12-24 and 70-200, I narrow down to 3 choices
1) AFS 24-85 F3.5/4.5
2) AFS 18-200
3) AFS 18-70
17-55 and 28-70 is out of the question coz my finance minister will kill me if I get another $$ item after my D200 purchase!
Am leaning towards the 24-85 since this lens is not too expensive and the optical performance seems excellent in the reviews. Anyone who have use it and can comment or show some pics?
18-200 is an interesting choice esp the convenient it brings for travel but not sure how the performance from 18-70 against the 18-70 lens? Also, how does it perform against the 24-85?
Advices appreciates
