Nikon lens - Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II

A dear friend recently purchased a new lens for her D40 ;-) She loves it!
AF-S NIKKOR 18-200mm 1:3.5-5.6G VRII ED .. What a mouth-full eh!


Kenrockwell.com compares the original VR I version against this latest VR II variant -
Either 18-200mm is a superb do-it-all lens for any DX Nikon, not FX
If you already have the original version (or find a deal on one), don't bother with this new II version. The only difference is the zoom lock. The zooming feels the same.
If you have problems with zooms creeping, go for the II version, if not, save your money and stick with a proven winner, the original 18-200mm VR. They are the same lens.
