Hi all just joined this forum looking forward to reading through it. I will introduce myself properley later in the newbie thread. I just wanted to ask if anyone else has been waitig a long time for the Nikon 18-200 mm lens and does anyone no more about its avaliability. I ordered it for my D5100 from Jessops way back on the 9th March because I had high street vouchers I could use there and I'm still wainting for it. I thought I remember her saying something about the 300 odd people waiting they just where telling me it can take up to 28 days they have to tell me that but usually it comes much sooner. They have apologised and said there is no stock anywhere and that it is due to the flooding of the Nikon factory in Thailand. I didnt think I'd be waiting nearly 10 weeks though. Next month me and a friend plan a day to Edinburgh shooting and I'm meeting friends for a four day trip to Amsterdam on the 18th of June it would be great If I had the lens by then for those trips. From all the reviews in particularly the Nphoto Nikon Magazine Ive read its a great lens and out of all the tele zooms they tested scored best. I cant wait to have it in my hands and put it to the test. Thanks.
Peter.
