Thanks Tim...exactly what I saw. []


Ido like the extra zoom as compared to my 17-85mm....so I guess I am really getting double the zoom for $500, but I wonder if I would be happier with the 70-300mm and just live with swapping lenses which is what DSLR's are made to do.


I'm sure if the only lens I had was the 18-200 I would be fine, but now that I compared it to my 17-85mm things changed.


To be honest...I thought that when I looked through the 18-200 I was going to say...holy $#!@, that is one stupid sweet zoom lens!!!


So...what do you guys think...what would you do?
