Bingo!You use what you have until you can get a lens that suits your shooting style.I bought the 18-55 ii because it`s great for Ir plus if the need for a wider lens should come up it`s there at a price I am willing to pay since I don`t need that wide a lens.For my landscapes I wil stitch which will give as wideeffron wrote: If you like the lens, why do you torture yourself by paying any attention to the negative nabobs? I had it, and later sold it. It was just fine, but I got better lenses and didn't use it much.....

I take the majority of my images with the 18-200. I bought the first one in Atlanta. I've tested it against other Nikon lenses and I determined that you may be able to measure a difference with equipment, but you won't see a difference. I didn't test it wide open because that's not how I shoot. It should be weaker wide open and at the 200 end. If you shoot wide open, expect some softness. If you shoot at f-8 and up, it's as sharp as you need. If I could only have one lens, this is it.
