Default Re: Nikon 18-200 vs Nikon 14-24

The difference is in the quality of the optics and the design, the 14-24 is a pro level lens with high quality optics and a design intend to produce superior images. To achieve this it is big, heavy and expensive. The 18-200 is a consumer level lens designed to be small, light, much less expensive and have an 11x zoom, all of those features require compromises that impact image quality. Lenses are a perfect example of the phrase ' you get what you pay for '.
