Hi Brendan,


Thanks for the reply!


I keep seeing the term IQ, but I'm not sure I understand what it means as applied to lenses. If I understand what you are saying, it's that the 18-200mm performs better in real use, than it does when looking at specs and technical lab results. So, would you say that it is a decent lens for my purposes? (see my reply to Jan's post). I'd love to have the full range you suggest with the two lens, but at this point, I think I should start with one for simplicity sake and current budget limits. I think I need to earn the right to move up to an L build.[]


Thanks again,


Randy
