[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 280365, member: 17556"] As was talked about in the thread I pasted in there is nothing wrong with the 18-200mm lens as a lens goes. What you have to decide is whether the loss of image quality is worth it to you for having the convenience of a do-all lens. To me, its not. I would pack a light camera bag and carry two lenses of high image quality rather than pack a single lens that covers a huge focal range. I would carry a wide angle lens and a long telephoto. A lens that covers that much focal length is going to suffer in the image quality somewhere. It may be at ends of the focal range, or it may be in chromatic aberrations. to get a lens with that kind of range and still be able to produce great IQ at all ranges would cost a fortune if it could even be built.
