It is a Nikon DX 18-200 VR

It should be a good addition to my other lens, and allow me to just carry 2 body's and not a whole bag full of lenses

Now if I could sell the D70 and pick up another D200 body id be in good shape

Even without a flash the VR technology allowed a fairly sharp image in the dark lighting. Wont be making the cover of a magazine in that shot, but would be ok if it was a must use shot for coverage

Don't tell me there is a "Nikon vs. Canon" thing in the photography world like the "bikes vs. quads" thing in this sport :p

Seriously,it is funny how every sport/hobby has a this vs. that issue involved with it.


Oh yeah.........nice pics Ken :cool:

Its all in what you get used to, there are very few differences that would make either brand better then the other
