An amendment to an earlier post I made praising the Nikkor 18-200 IF-ED AF-S DX VR: I've been using the lens for over a year and recently began carefully editing images shot using this lens. Images from the longer focal lenghts - between 100-200mm- are predominantly soft on one side (right), and generally not very sharp, even when using the VR feature and a sturdy tripod.
I'm now shopping for new lenses to cover the super zoom focal lengths (short, medium and long). Any suggestions are appreciated.
