Trade Nikon 18-200 VR for Nikon 18-105 VR?
Trade Nikon 18-200 VR for the Nikon 18-105 VR?
Would that be stupid? I own the 18-200 VR. I love it. I wish it didn't creep, but that's my only complaint. I can sell it for like $550.00, and get a 18-105 VR for my daily carry. I'd bank the rest. I'd have to purchase new filters, etc... Should I "stay put"? Am I going in the wrong direction? __________________

Maybe if you were trading to like a 17-55 f2.8 tammy, or an 18-70, but trading your super zoom to a kit lens would seem like a bad idea.

So even if you could obtain a 18-105 VR for $250. And sell your 18-200 VR for $500.00, you would stay put?

Would you sell a porsche for a toyota?
What would you do with the other $250? Buy a lens to cover the range you just lost by buying a shorter lens? Absolutly no reason to do this. You gain nothing by doing it and lose the 105-200 aspect without buying another lens and then having 2 lenses that use to be covered by 1. |

Douglas,
Great points.... I know, I know... Sometimes I think my mind is slipping. I'd have to sell/buy filters as well for I have a CP, ND & UV filter for my 18-200 VR already... I think I need to stay put.... Quote:

Re: Trade Nikon 18-200 VR for Nikon 18-105 VR?
Yeah. Its one thing to upgrade or even sidegrade. But this would be a downgrade. Not necessarily in quality, but in flexability. The 18-105 gives you nothing that isnt already achieved by the 18-200. Both are VR. Both have similar varying apperatures. But the 18-105 isnt an 18-200.

Re: Trade Nikon 18-200 VR for Nikon 18-105 VR?
Why lose the range. Im willing to bet that you would be kicking yourself in the @ss the first time some bird or, other animal was close and, you didnt have the 200mm when the 105 would be way short.
