Up for sale is my 18-200. Selling it to fund another lens purchase. This is a great lens. Much sharper than I thought it would be for a non-L lens. Focus is reasonably fast. It's an EXCELLENT walk-around lens to be quite honest. I'm just doing more paid work and less, "walking around," if you know what I mean.

Has IS so it makes it quite nice to use in low shutter speed situations.

No nicks, dings, scratches, etc. Glass is pristine. Nothing cosmetic wrong with it and nothing mechanically wrong with it either.

Also includes a hood and front and back caps as well as original packaging.

    Bumping after a long while. Have had a few nibbles but nobody stepping up. It's still available. Great vacation walk-around lens!

    Thanks Scott.

    Just need to find a good home for this lens. Just not getting the face time it deserves.

    This is truly a great lens, especially as an all-in-one walk around lens.

    Can we see a sample or two of your greatest masterpieces shot with this beauty?!?! Maybe that awesome GWB shot? Anything with you not in it!

    FWIW, I already have one of these, and it truly is a very impressive lens. Bought it last year for a European cruise, when my wife said she wanted to carry the smallest possible bag for my older DSLR (30D) and preferred to not deal with changing lenses. She absolutely loved it! And now, when she's not looking, I'm often using it. mwink.gif It's probably the most versatile lens in my arsenal. If I had to live with a single lens, this would be it.

    SPAM + hijacks = SPAM-jacks!!

    Kind of like flapjacks but without nutritional value.

    Glad you sold it. I just wish you had put it up for sale in February - I paid full retail for mine from B&H.

    It is truly an awesome lens.
