I first found out about the focal length difference when watching a video on youtube comparing the Nikon 70-200 with the Canon 70-200. I was still scratching my head after watching that video trying to grasp how that could be. Great job Gordon on explaining this concept to all of us with examples. I have the version I of this lens and it is a very versatile and fun lens.

After this lens is used for awhile, zoom creep gets worse. It is just a matter of being "broken in". I have found that even sitting at a 30deg angle on a tripod, the lens can also creep - so much so that the rubber band trick is necessary.

This lens has a built-in AF motor so it'll work fine with any Nikon DSLR. But either way, so does the D7000 for working with older lenses, so you're covered on both bases.

Thanks for the detailed review of this lens. As I understand, there's actually no reason to go for this second version. The predecessor shares most of its features. One quick question (more to Nikon than to you personally): What's the point of building in a switch that locks the lens at 18mm when there actually isn't any zoom creep at that position (unlocked lens)? As you demonstrate in this video, in order to provoke that zoom creep to happen you first have to turn the zoom ring away from 18mm. The zoom creep only starts at around 30-32mm it seems. By the way, zoom creep on any lens can be prevented by attaching a simple elastic band around the zoom ring. So, I'd rather buy the first version of this lens and an elastic band. And save the price difference.

I'm thinking about buying an 18-200 lens, but I can't decide on which one to choose: VR I or VR II. I understand the most notable difference is the lock switch. Money matters, so I'm thinking about getting a used one. Used VR I is available for around 375 USD, whereas VR II is for 580 USD where I live. Do you think it'll be worth the extra money to keep safe the lens by the lock switch? If I understand correctly, as the time goes, the zoom creep gets worse, so I guess the risk is much more with a used VR I than with a used VR II in this case.

+Nancy Pirrello the longer the zoom range, the greater the convenience but the lower the quality - sadly you can't have everything. If you want one lens that does it all, then it's a good choice, but if you are driven by quality, you'll need to carry shorter ranges. I think it's a good starter though, but you tell me, are you happy with the results so far? That's what counts!

@kyleshearer1270

It depends on where you're at and what you want to do. If you're just beginning and want to learn how to shoot an SLR, get the D90. It has most of the controls you would find on an upper level camera and will be more fun when you understand all of the functions. It will also be faster to adjust everything if you plan on shooting manually. The D5100 will give better image quality, but may not be as fun to operate if you're looking to get into photography. So if you plan on shooting full auto, in which you change nothing except the zoom and framing, this would be the camera for you. This is also a beginner SLR, but with limited growth potential due to fewer controls. So, in review, D90 for aspiring photographer, D5100 for casual shooter.
