I'm having a hard time deciding between the two Nikon VR lenses above. I know the 70-200 is twice as expensive as the 18-200, but having the ability to take closeups with the 18-200 is a plus.
As far as lens features are concerned, I want (in order of importance):
1) Image quality: sharpness, minimal distortion, good contrast.
2) fast focus with IF.
3) size & price - what justifies the 70-200 being twice as expensive as the 18-200.
I'll be using the lens mainly for outdoor photography with occasional indoor, dark environments. The VR is nice to have for the dark indoors, but for outdoors I'll be using a tripod.
I already have the standard 18-55mm lens that comes with the D50 kit.
Any suggestions?
