Friend of mine recently ordered two 18-200 Nikkors and is expecting UPS
delivery today or tomorrow. I believe he paid around $700 each. For fun,
I checked the supplier he used but at the moment it is out of inventory.

I'm going to have to borrow one of these lenses.

What are you going to put it on?

A camera, John.


I spent the night on the boat and just came home. When I got here, Mrs.E.
was in the backyard playing with her camera, trying out a new lens that she
bought yesterday. It's a 18-200mm Nikon or Nikkor, but I am not sure if
it's the VR lens under discussion. She said the camera shop called it a
"beach lens" - kind of a universal use, lightweight zoom lens. She took off
to go horse-back riding before it dawned on me and she took the camera with
her, so I can't verify what it is.
Does Nikon or Nikkor make a non-VR 18-200mm lens?

Are you sure it was 18-200 and not 28-200?

This one perhaps?

Nope. She briefly told me about it before she left and said it also had a
macro setting that the 28-200 apparently does not. Also, I got the
impression that the 28-200mm is for film cameras.

I am pretty sure she said 18-200mm. (using it on Harry's D70 that she
bought).
Now I am really curious.

Well, if it's a Nikon lens, then it's probably on Rockwell's site
somewhere.

I'm surprised Harry bought a new Nikon. When I mentioned buying my D200, he
seemed pretty certain there was no significant difference between the two
cameras. My daughter, to whom I gave my D70, is absolutely thrilled with
it.

I don't recall Harry saying that he bought a new anything. Maybe he did, I
just don't remember.
