I was on the phone this morning with one of my friendly New York camera
sellers to order some stuff and I jokingly asked about the Nikon 18-200
mm lens that almost everyone seems so hot to trot to overpay for...and
he said they have 2,500 on order, but don't expect to see any for at
least four months.

Amazing.

Where's the sweet spot for that lens, in terms of focal length? Does it
have one?

Probably not down at 18mm.
I just ordered a fixed focal length wide angle lens.

I'm offering this in this thread because it's already OT, so doing it here
will make the NG less cluttered: Since Saturday, I've gotten several emails
offering to teach me how to master slot machines. If anyone's interested,
I'd be happy to copy the next one here.

Beating slot machines is easy -- just stay away from them.

Alternatively, you can just toss $200 worth of quarters in the trash, and
save yourself the airfare.
