I finally received the 18-200 VR lens that I've had ordered for months now. The Nikon 18-200 is really an impressive piece of work. It covers a very wide range, and it covers it very well. It's gotten great reviews all over the place. Technically, it's been available for almost a year now. However, it has been heavily backordered everywhere. I've been on a waiting list for a long time.
I don't have much to say about it yet; as I haven't gotten to use it much. I'm going to a family event this weekend though, so I should get plenty of chances.
