Just how "not as sharp" are super zoom lenses?
The recent poll results titled "The Lenses We Would Have If We Could Have No Other Lenses" are the reason I'm asking this. The results had the Nikon 18-200mm at the top. Now I've also read many times that super zoom lenses such as this one just aren't as sharp as lenses that don't zoom as much. For this reason, I got a kit 18-55mm lens with my D5000, and I'm planning on buying a 55-200mm lens in the future. Yes one lens would be nice, but the "not as sharp" problem kept me away from the 18-200mm (and the fact that I would be spending twice as much money). Do any of you have comparison shots?
