A very gently used Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S ED VR II off of my local Craigslist.   :thumb:





For now it will be used with my buddy's D70 body while I wait for the new Nikon D7000 to be announced and released.  Here is a link to some rumored D7000 specs:  http://nikonrumors.com/2010/08/23/nikon-d7000-will-be-the-replacement-of-the-d90.aspx

Good pick up, it’s all about lenses. Bodies will come and go.

Way to go...Lenses are the by far the most important component in the chain.

One more thing...I'm galad you are going Nikon. Great stuff. I personally have over a dozen Nikon fixed length lenses and I'm not too worried about having the latest body.

Ha! Good one! Maybe I should change that pic, huh?

If I were female, I'd make one ugly old broad.  :thumb:

Zybar, keep in mind that you could still make a really fancy "pinhole" camera with that lens until you get a body.  Just cut a hole in a shoebox or a coffee can, stick a sheet of film in there and you're ready to go! :wink:

I have a body (Nikon D70), I just don't own it (it has been on loan from a friend).
