Pros:
Lens covers wide focal length, which eliminates the need for constantly changing lenses. I still carry my Sigma 10-20mm for those special times.
Cons:
Lens hood interferes with flash at the wide end of the focal length. The lens is a bit long when zoomed out to 200mm, but that is something I can live with.
Comment:
Good lens if you need to travel light.

Pros:
The 18-200 lens has turned out to be the perfect ''attached'' lens as it covers most anything you want to , except for wildlife at a distance and then I switch to the 70-300, but this is a great all around lens and I only wish I had bought it sooner. Before this purchase I was limited to the 18-55 and 70-300 and usually wound up carrying both cameras (bought another body) around my neck .... the new lens has solved that problem.
Cons:
None!
Comment:
Again, a perfect all-around lens and it arrived before the scheduled delivery date and it was a most pleasant exchange ... except for the $$. Ha! Ha! Just joking ... the price was in line too. Great lens!

Pros:
Great all-purpose range. I very rarely have to take this lens off. The lens is nice and sharp for a zoom.
Cons:
Has a ramping aperture and is a little slow on the long end of the zoom range - F5.6 - which is a bit of a bummer but that is one sacrifice you have to make when you have an all-in-one lens like this.
Comment:
Buy this lens and you won''t be disappointed!!

This is a gift for my Dad and I will give it to him next week. Will be able to give you a review after he uses this item but by the look, it is a very solid product.

Pros:
Quick accurate silent focus! Image quality is excellent!
Cons:
Using on board flash will cause a shadow in photos at 18-25mm but if you use a SB-600 this is not an issue!
Comment:
This is basically the only lens you will ever need for almost all ing!

Pros:
Best Zoom range ever. If you can''t get the shot in the 18-200 range, well hang it up.
Cons:
A little slower than a 2.8 zoom, but much lighter
Comment:
Very good contrast and even has decent Macro, you will rarely take this lens off. The only other lenses I kept were my 12-24 Tokina for Ultra wide and a 100 macro.
