Nikon 18-200mm lens

Review of the Nikon 18-200mm lens. I just got this lens and therefore haven't used it much yet, but so far I agree with him, it is an amazing allround lens.

I’ve never reviewed a camera lens before. I mean, only a fraction of digital camera owners have digital S.L.R.s (the kind that accept interchangeable lenses), only a fraction of those are non-professionals like me, and only some of those shop more than a couple of times for lenses.

But I’ve been working with Nikon’s 18-200 millimeter “superzoom” VR lens, which fits any of its digitals: the D40, D50, D70, D80, D200, and so on. And I can’t stop babbling about it.
The sad part, as the review states, is that it is hard to get. I ordered mine in october last year and only just got it - that translates to more than 3 months delivery time. Funny side note: I ordered it at a company called "Express Delivery" :)

My camera stuff:
Nikon D80 (love it - it's my first SLR and it is amazing! I could have chosen the Canon 400D which is cheaper and have more or less the same specifications but I have no regrets about choosing the D80. I find the Canon a bit confusing to use while the Nikon is a joy and the size and ergonomics of the Nikon is better, at least for my hands)

Lenses:
Nikon 50mm f/1.8 (Cheap little lens, but it's a lot of fun and very sharp - you can take some great shots with it)
Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 (I bought this used at a good price, it is very nice to have and it's what I will be using for taking indoor sports shots)
