Hi:

<p class="justify"]I just got my Canon 18-200mm and put it on my XTi and went outside to play around.
<p class="justify"]The very first thing I noticed was that from 18 to 135mm (numbers viewed on the lens) the lens kept zooming in quite nicely and you could definetly tell it was zooming, but from 135 to 200mm I did not see as much zooming in. My test object was around 30 feet away.
<p class="justify"]To tell you the truth it looked like the lens is an 18-135mm + "a little more" zoom lens.


So...am I crazy or is this "normal".

I have 2 weeks to decide wether to keep it or not.

<p class="justify"]My other choice that I decided on a while ago before the 18-200mm was announced was the 70-300mm but thought it would be nice not to carry around two lenses all the time when playing in the park with the family.


Thanks.
