If you already have 18-55mm kit lens, why still consider 18-70mm which overlap the range? Get the 55-200mmVR instead if you want more tele. Just my 2cents! icon_rolleyes.gif

ya, reading your suggestion shocking.gif i ended up go buy 1 cry.gif overall this lens is ok, feel plastic a bit , but the feeling can zoooom is great whistling.gif

so now i got kit lens + this 55-200 VR, if i wan to take potrait , which 1 gip me the best result, pls advice. sifu

since u say u like lanscape...that needs a wideangle...
wild life...depends...u need either VERY long...or Macro...
skies?? Wideangle i guess...
seeing from this...the 55-200 wont benefit u much...
why not take a wide angle?
sigma 10-20?
tokina 12-24?
nikkor 14-24?

if u can explain more on wild life...
if u taking wild birds....u need 600mm
or on a safari....600mm...shorter ones are ok too...but u dun want to disturb the animals right?
insects / flowers / plants...u need macro...105vr...

ya, quite agree with xandman, i myself got 55-200mm vr. taking bird is not enough hmm.gif get the 600mm icon_idea.gif
