[QUOTE="JimmyPitt, post: 65421, member: 10019"] Has anyone seen Ken Rockwell's recent review of the Nikon Super Zooms? [URL="http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/comparisons/DX-super-zooms/index.htm"]Nikon 18-200 vs 28-300 vs 18-300[/URL] Very interesting. From this, I suppose an 18-300mm VR would be best option for the D7000 if you wanted that extended reach. And the 18-200mm VR would be the better (since it is lighter) if extended reach isn't a priority. Surprised to see 28-300 FX wasn't marginally better considering only the center portion of the lens is being used. I'm curious about this mostly because i wanted to replace my 18-55mm VR kit lens and the 55-200mm VR telephoto lens with one all inclusive general walk around lens. But I wonder whether I'll even see much improvement in quality & sharpness switching to the super zoom??? It would be great to see a comparison of the cheaper pair 18-55 & 55-200 (or 55-300) to the more expensive 18-300. In case anyone missed my earlier post.
