Back at the start of January I purchased a second-hand Nikon 18-200 VRII from a well known company who advertises here (I've also dealt with them in the past) to pair with a brand new D7100.
I took a few shots to test and was moderately happy (thought there was a lack of sharpness/camera shake when at the long end) but put that down to not ideal light and my lack of experience with the lens.
We've just returned from holiday where it was sunny and I could not get a sharp image at the telephoto end at all, but the wide end was acceptable - has anyone had experience of this with other copies?
I would go back to the vendor, but their T&C's expressly state:
9.6 General exclusions (What's NOT covered):
9.6.4 - faults relating to image sharpness of a lens that is clearly open to human judgement;
I also have a brand new 35mm f1.8 that is tack sharp, so I'm going to rule out a camera issue...
