[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 172869, member: 14629"] The 18-200m is a great lens, especially if you get a good deal on it. Here's a honest review of the lens. [URL]http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Nikkor_DX_18-200mm_VR_II/index.shtml[/URL] I have the d7100 and the 18-200 vr that I use as a walk around lens. I shoot landscapes and architecture and really like it. I know that unless it too far away, or super close I can likely get a shot without having to change lenses. My son has been using it for stop action with his action figures @ about 18 inches. I also have a 35mm f2 which is a really great lens, but the 18-200m is a lot more flexible in different situations. The main drawback is the f3.5 so you give up light. Here's one I did in low light late yesterday I shot in RAW. 22mm, ISO 1600, 1/125s and f5.6. Mind you this was my first outing on full manual mode, playing around with aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Shot about 50 or so at various distances and got 3 that are OK and this one IMO is the best of the 3. I converted it jpeg, and even then it's still a 6.5 mb file, which the forum doesn't allow. I think uploading it reduced the image to 85 kb or something, so a [U]lot[/U] of the image quality was lost. Get the 18-200mm - you'll love it.
