I use my 18-200mm quite a bit while shooting landscapes and or portraits.  I love how lightweight and compact it is.  The quality seems quite nice.  So far and I've had it for almost two weeks, I love it and am happy I finally sold two lenses to consolidate to just one that does it all.
I'm loving it!

Big change in a little package

Bought one for myself and loved it from the first pic l took. Liked it so much, bought another one for the Wife. Really a joy to see how much fun she had when she first used it. Now we compete on who takes a better picture. Highly recomend this lens to all my friends.

Outstanding lens

As a dad primarily interested in documenting family events and capturing great candids of my kids, I don't see the need for another lens.  If all things were equal, I'd love to have Nikon's VR, but I'm not sure it's worth since it's almost twice as expensive. Also, when I shoot at higher focal lengths, I'm generally outside during the day, so shutter speed is not typically an issue for me.  

Aside from the missing VR, my only other complaint is that when you carry the camera around with this lens on it, unless you have the lens locked, it extends by itself.  It's kind of annoying but not a deal breaker.

Can't beat the value

WONDRERFUL PRODUCT, WOULD BUY AGAIN

This has been a great lens. I purchased it to use on my D-70s, allowing me to use one lens for almost all of my shooting needs.  Clear, crisp images.

Excellent Lens

THE LENS IS ALL THAT IT IS CRACKED UP TO BE. MY IMAGES ARE SHARP AT ALL POSITIONS.
MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT WHEN YOU SHOOT DOWN THE LENS ZOOMS SLIGHTLY FORWARD.
