ART Anyone here selling a nikon 18-200VR?

[Kirk Hinrich]

I wants one. Fucking couldn't get the cash together to pick up that other one going on here for 500.

 

[Girth]

Thought you bought one already?

 

[Kirk Hinrich]

Thought you bought one already?

nope. Dude I am incapable of making a decision. Still have no lens. Have a battery now though, at least.

 

[Kirk Hinrich]

I think to start I am just gonna go 50 1.8 and the 18-200.

just get the 50 for now and then decide what to get later... at least you'll have a lens.

picture > 100 words

18-200 pic is at f/6.3 and 28-70 pic is at f/4 both coming from about the same distance and focal length.

both at 100%

28-70 > *

Unless you have the 24-70, of course.

28-70 sucks, it turned a hot chick into a meh dude

Completely different lighting, you can't compare the two.

For a fair comparison you'd have to have all variables fixed, except for the lens.

With that said, the 18-200 is obviously softer than the 28-70, generally speaking.

eh, both were taken in a low lit room with a flash.

i understand they should be fixed to be completely fair, but in terms of overall sharpness I think it gives a pretty good idea.

 

[Kirk Hinrich]

isnt the 28-70 like 3x the price?

 

[BeachBoy]

I think to start I am just gonna go 50 1.8 and the 18-200.

I have the same, plus a 10-20 sigma and for now I don't need anything else. To travel the 18-200 is perfect (light compared to faster)

I really enjoy the 18-200VR it's a very good lens overall.

The zoom is awesome and with VR the lens really shines.

is that a 100% crop of the suntrust building, if not, that's kind of useless

 

[xconverge]

I dont think it is, I think its a zoomed in 2nd picture to show how a zoom works

We understand that, but if you downsize a picture in post it will appear sharper than it really is.

Maybe I used the wrong smilie, I meant to use a shrug

there's no way its that sharp at 200.

It's pretty sharp to me @ 200
