[QUOTE="Englischdude, post: 411603, member: 16372"] I was looking for a compact walkabout lens and came across this, the Nikon AF 28-200 3.5-5.6 ED G. As much as it pains me to say it, KR's review of this lens is pretty accurate. For a start I am amazed at how compact and light it is, here a comparison together with some of my other lenses. As you can see it is almost as compact as the 40mm micro, and completely dwarved by the 24-70 tamron. [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/6/3/7/2/dsc_3358.jpg[/IMG] i am satisfied with the performance at both the wide and long end. The reason for getting rid of my 18-200 from Nikon was the softness at 200mm. Here a picture wide at 28mm, notice the cable car station and antenna on the mountain in the background.. [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/6/3/7/2/dsc_3366.jpg[/IMG] @ 200mm [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/6/3/7/2/dsc_3365.jpg[/IMG] Unfortunately the Bokeh is nothing to write home about, quite noisy and distracting, however the contrast and colour rendering is good. [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/6/3/7/2/dsc_3370.jpg[/IMG] And the bonus with this lens is that it is also Full frame compatible so I am armed for a possible ugrade in the future. The AF is fast enough for a general purpose lens. There is no VR, but that is something I can live without for a general walkabout lens. If anyone else ownes this lens feel free to add your pics and comments to this thread. [/QUOTE]
