10/16 I bought a 18-200mm DX Nikkor a while ago but after reading the
posts below I have a lot of regrets. I already registered with
Nikon. Can I still sell it on eBay for a good price, since the
warranty is *not* transferable?
\_ What do you expect from a lens with 11X zoom range? I once compared
my friend's 18-200 DX with my 18-70 DX by shooting the same scene
with the same settings on my D80 body. My 18-70 yielded slightly
sharper pictures. I imagine a prime will do even better.
\_ So, you're saying that you had no regrets until you read
the posts here? Then what's the problem? Go out, take
pictures, enjoy it. No one should be expecting a
consumer-level lens with 11x zoom range to match a high-end
primes in contrast, color, and other qualities, but it's
still going to take good pictures (if used right) while
giving the you the flexibility of the 11x zoom. Even in
the worst case, it's going to give you much better image
than those little cameras with puny sensors can.
\_ I recommend you get the 14-24mm f/2.8 and 24-70mm f/2.8.
These two are the most amazing lenses I've ever had with
amazing contrast, sharpness, and bokeh. Sell your consumer
grade DX lens and take it as a hard lesson learned. Oh and
buy a couple of SB-800 (or more 600s) so you can do really
creative shots in almost any light conditions. |
