If it's anything like me, the bank manager is the one on the warm side of the bed :D

Hope you get on well with the kit, I have a £1,500 list sitting here on my desk too :help:

Well the 18-200 VR arrived about an hour ago
(When your waiting for a parcel why does time go so slowly :bang: )

I decided to swap the 18-70 & 55-200 for it,

so glad that I did, its a stunning lens, :thumbs:
yes it is a big bigger and a bit heavier than I thought
but at the end of the day i'm only carrying one lens round not 2 so it works out lighter & less to carry :D

I wasn;t going to stretch to the 18-200 but after reading the other thread about the lens, and the comment from you, amongst others, I thought **** it, already spent £1400 whats another 100 quid :D

So, thanks for that :thumbs:
