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.
