If I were going to Disneyland, I would still take the Nikon 18-200 in spite of my love for my other lenses. It's just too much to carry for too long a time. I wouldn't even take a camera bag. An extra CF card and an extra battery in my pocket and I'm good to go.

BTW: I use a Nikon D200.

Have a good trip.
I, too, have been spoiled with my 24-70 and 70-200. And I am sure that many others who have tasted high end lenses would agree.

There are actually a total of 3 lenses I am going to check out tomorrow:

Sigma 18-200, Tamron ??-300 and the Nikon 18-200.

We will see how it goes.

Previous to the D300 ugrade, I also used the D200. Great camera, IMHO.

BTW-Some special "K" on it way!
