Default For those heartbroken 18-200 mm lenses buyers...

Where's the sweet spot for that lens


The trash can.

Seriously, I've got a half-ton of Nikon glass (20D, 24D, 28, 35, 50,
105MicroD, 28-80D, 80-200D), but something that advertises itself as
covering that much real estate is a JOKE.


That's what I was wondering, but since lenses can be important in
how-you-say "personal ways", I was dancing around it. I used to read Popular
Photography many years ago, and they made it pretty clear that zoom lenses
were a compromise. I guess the laws of physics haven't changed.
