New glass
March 24, 2006 – 1:30 pm
I picked up my 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor lens yesterday from Ace Photo in Sterling, VA. Feedback was that it’s a solid lens, and perfect replacement for the stock kit 18-70mm, so I made it my first lens purchase. Not tested it yet, and it looks like it will be Sunday [...]
