[QUOTE="Bob Dee, post: 439529, member: 24555"] Hi All, Could I get a confirmation of what I believe is true. I Bought a used Nikon 18-200 VR II lens from a Camera shop on eBay. They have a good reputation on eBay and their store website. The problem is that this lens does not seem to be a true 11 to 1 zoom ratio. It only seems to be about 8 to 1 , and I have compared to a friend using his lens. Question:: If I stand far enough away from a block wall such that 11 blocks fill my frame at 18mm, when I zoom in to 200mm should my frame now be filled with only one block? Meaning that the view of one block has been enlarged by 11 times? But with this lens, When I view 11 blocks then zoom in I still have about 1.35 blocks in frame. This would equate to a zoom ratio of about 8.1 to 1. A true 11 to 1 would give me 37% more zoom. SO an 18-200mm should provide very close to 11to1 zoom, Not 8.1to1 Correct?? Thanks So Much in Advance, Bob [/QUOTE]
