This one. But I'm going to wait for Russ and Reggie to give some feedback
on the 18-200 mm.

The 70-200 mm is a really nice lens, it is heavy, but after awhile, you
get used to it and begin to expect a camera to weigh 6 lbs. I carry
the camera by the tripod mount. I purchased the 50mm f 1.8 and it is a
very sharp lens, but the camera feels like a toy, when i have this
normal prime on. I ordered the Tokina 12-24mm last week, it should be
arrive this week, so next weekend I plan on taking a trip to the mountains.

I normally order my lens from B&H Photo from NY, but they were out of
stock, so I ordered from a company out of LA. They were actually less
expensive so I am being watching their service closely.

I noticed B&H has lowered their price (even though they are out of
stock) so they must consider Samy competition.
