rashley · 06-27-2008

It is clear from the photos that at 18-24 the Nikon 14-24 f2.5 takes better, sharper pix than the 18-200 in the same range. Can any one explain why that is so? The 18-200 has nowhere near the sharpness.
Before I spend another $1500 on a lens, I sure hope to understand why this is so...Thanks
