The Nikon is probably about as good as it gets for an 11x zoom. I have not tried any of the third party alternatives, but I doubt they would better in any significant way.

I really enjoyed it. Would you recommend any other 18-200 lens for Nikon bodies? I'd like to get the new D90 and will be traveling for a few months so I want a good all around lens. The dpreview of the 18-200 Nikon left me a bit disappointed. Is there perhaps a different brand with the same range that is better in image quality? Great post. I really enjoyed it.

I purchased mine along with the D300 the week before MotoGP at Laguna Seca. I took close to 2000 images with the rapid fire mode and was very pleased with the results. Of course I still have a lot to learn about this camera so I am reading more. I didn't find it too heavy and even took it for a ride on my motorcycle on parade lap around the track. The color was great as well and I liked the versatility of this lens. Nice review on the 18-200. I purchased mine along with the D300 the week before MotoGP at Laguna Seca.

The 16-85 seems to very good according to reviews and probably has the edge optically. 24 mm was a favourite focal length on my film SLRs, so 16mm is more attractive than 18mm IMO. On the other the 18-200 is an unique lens. It is not only the convinience factor, but I also think it has a creative plus, in the way that you can instantly try out very different compositions. About the 17-55: Check my mini review here on this blog. To Francis:

I've just bought a D300 and still uncertain on which lense to buy. I've been considering the new 16-85 VR vs. 18-200 VR, and the high cost 17-55 2.8. Can you advice? Hi!

Not only the discussion about the 18-200, but the links and the quality of the photos you post. I have an 18-200 and have had some reservations about it's sharpness on my D300 (worked well on my D100). So your clear, crisp photos give me hope that i can get it tuned a bit better.
