I am trying to save up for the 55-200mm VR. I think it's gonna be a killer lens to complement the 18-55mm. I will still use 18-55mm most of the time when on vacation because I found out that I do very little telephoto when taking holiday shots. However, I do believe the 55-200mm VR will help nicely in macro shots which I enjoy as a past time.

wait a lil more. or save a lil more and get the 18-200 VR.

i think the kit lens is better at macro......
the minimum focusing distance of the 55-200mm is around 1m i think. not that ideal.....
the kit lens is 0.28m, my friend always curse at his 18-70 when he see my macro shots  tongue.gif
