Lens still creeps. So the $200 increase in price, despite the weakening of the dollar, is unjustified.

Sad to say this new lens still creeps
the lock only works at 18mm which to me is useless since when the lens is down to 18mm there is no creeping.

This is probably the so called “lens to rule them all” lens from nikon, well not that great, but it could very well substitute for many lens one may potentially have. For starters, this phat barrel can go from 18mm all the way to 200mm (duh*). Though it isn’t that much of a fast lens, the aperture is sufficient for almost all daylight activity in the focal range. For people who just got into the dslr system, this is the lens to get.
In my pouch, I have this lens and the 35mm f1.8 prime lens for my portrait shots and night shots. I had not need to switch out the 18-200mm when I go out to take pictures, and that shows how awesome this lens is. Definitely recommended!

I’ve had this lens for less than a month. I replaced one Nikkor 18-55 and one Nikkor 55-200. Now I have more versatility to take pictures without having to carry or change lenses, that special picture not always waits. It’s the first time I have a lens with such range (18-200). When using wide angle pictures are not distorted and when using 200 zoom it gives the impression you are using a 300. I use a Nikon D40x and works great, and think about upgrading to another camera to fully take advantage of the quality and flexibility of this lens. The lens feels comfortable in the hand and is very silent. I’m very pleased, it’s pricey but well worth it.

We bought this with the Nikon D90 body. It’s been great so far. Love the versatility. Photos are clean and crisp through the entire range. Regarding the lens creep, it is a slight issue if the lens is partially extended and pointed straight down. During “normal” use, this really has not presented itself as an issue. Fully collapsed (at 18mm), the lens stay put; we never bother to lock the lens. Highly recommended!
