Muhammad,Happy New Years,& a good question.I think it depends on what you like to shoot.It seems everyone likes the 18-200 lens & I tend to agree with them.I have the 18-135 nikor & it stays on the camera 95% of the time.If I had more sense I would have goten the 18-200,Sigma has come out with a 18-270 which is even more versitable.The 18-135 is at a very resonable priced (check B&H)the 200 is a bit more but either one is a good choice.

When I went on a whirwind trip to the UK recently, I took my 18-55, a 70-300, and a Lensbaby. I only ever used the 18-55! I was too busy to even change lenses. An 18-200 might have provided some more zoomy shots but I have some great photos, including ones taken in museums. Take a compact flexible tripod like a Gorillapod too, if you have the room. And a lot of SD cards (or whatever your camera takes).

‘Nother vote for the Nikon 18-200mm. It lives on the D80 when I’m traveling. I also take a 50mm 1.8 which is tiny and takes up almost no room in the bag. And, if there’s room, a 55-200mm VR for a backup. Toys are fun but they get really old after lugging them around the countryside all day.

Well, I am looking for the Nikkor 18-200 mm VR lens, and planning to purchase it in Hongkong when I go there next March. For now, I plan to travel with my D40+kit lens and Panasonic FX33 24mm wide angle. Should be light enough for travelling. Most important thing is to take time enjoying your trip, which is why you’re travelling. My two cents.

OK I know I’m going to be shot down here, but until recently I was in the carry 3 good lenses camp and to be honest half the time I missed my shot because I had the wrong lens or it was all too heavy to carry or it was raining and I didn’t want to change lenses. I eventually bought a Tamron 28-300 vc lens for my canon 5d…with great trepidation I might add as I was worried about the significant change in quality compared to my L lenses. To be honest.. as a travel lens I haven’t regretted the decision one bit! I always get my photo. My camera goes everywhere and doesn’t weigh a ton and I’m really happy with the quality I am getting. Sure if everything was printed at A3 size I might have complaints… but it suits what I need it for.
