Nikon 18-200mm - simply brilliant!

http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/18200.htm

What a wonderful lens this is.  Versatile and opens a lot of doors to photos you would otherwise miss.  When you have to change your lens, you are losing time and could miss photo's.  If you have an 18-55 and 55-200, think how often you have swapped lenses, when this could free up that time.

As always, Ken has a good verdict and some sample photos to check out.

Digital Sports Photography - Wrestling

Some photos I took recently at a wrestling match, I'm pleased with the results - they were taken using a Nikon D5000 with a Sigma external flash and 55-200mm Nikkor VR lens.  The flash was put at 1/2 and on manual because it was coming out too dark and around ISO 800 minimum to capture the action.

Post your comments and thoughts if you like these pics :)

Thanks, Simon.
