D850 Lens Question??

Hi folks.....I'm a brandnew Nikonite. Looking forward to learning much here as I pursue one of my passions....digital photography. I've had a couple of pics published rather unintentionally, so I'm taking the plunge....leaving my ol D90 in the dust (because that's literally all it's worth), and buying a D850.

My question is this...has anyone any experience with using the AF-S 18-200mm Gll ED, VR lense on the 850? If so, how did it work? I haven't seen that lense listed on any of the recommended lense lists. Next year I plan to buy the 105 F1.4 lense cuz I hear it's an amazingly sharp and versatile lense.

Thanks in advance for any info that you can offer!

As Fred points out, the 18-200mm you're asking about is a DX lens. I'm pretty sure that's not what you're going to want to put on your D850. I mean, it WILL work, but it will put your D850 in DX Crop Mode, and that's just no fun.

The closest thing to the 18-200mm in FX glass I can come up with, just off the top of my head, would be the Nikon Nikon 24-120mm f/4G ED VR.

I got my Nikon 28-300 off Craigslist for $500 and it's by far my most used lens, especially on trips when I'm out walking.

Thanks! That focal range would be very versatile Id think.
