Taking nige's advice

mm have fun with that, VR lovliness, great for low shutter speeds :)

*avoids usual nikon/canon gag*

damn straight. You won't regret it. I'd much rather have a nice lens on a slightly-old-but-still-awesome body, than a fancy body with a not-so-great-lens.

I've take my 18-200 off about four times in 9 months. I really should sell my other zooms, I'll clearly never use them again.

cor, you're going to have some fun with that! nice!

oooh, i bought one of these a couple of months ago. great all rounder :)

Oh so nice piece of kit.
Any risk of dust on the sensor is history too, You'll never need to change lenses again!

Yes, I've just sent off for a quote for my 18-135 mm. I don't think that I'll be using that anymore :)

After getting this I managed to get over £120 for my 18-70mm lens off ebay - not bad at all really!

Oooooooh. That's the lens I have my eye on. I want.

I know what you mean; this is three years worth of saved-up birthday money :D

C has talking about this lens for a few weeks now. Thanks for the demonstration of its capabilities. Guess I have to say yes to some more overtime!

You won't regret it :)
