[QUOTE="stmv, post: 104990, member: 10038"] 249 must be for a used lens? that is a good price, this must be for an older versionn,, As long as it is a clean copy, not too worn, these are not built that tough, like most consumer level lens. optically I doupt if the 55-200 would be much bettter than this lens, and yes, the 18-55 is slightly sharper in the limited range,, but it did not take me that long to develop a squeek in my copy of a 18x55 lens, and now it seems to haunt more when focusing. it makes an awesome travel lens, I loved it in Europe 5 years ago. Here is a sample image using my old copy of 18x200 on a D300 camera: [ATTACH=CONFIG]24524._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
