Oooops.... Nikon VR 18-200

Hmmmm Broadway cameras had some of these today... Oh dear....

Nothing too fancy, but check the exif - this was 1.6s at f14 handheld note time of day and indoors (I was sitting down though...)

No sharpening, just color balance adjustment for tungsten. I feel it's a bit soft, but decided not to try sharpening for this post.

(yes an empty picture frame, you'd have figured I would have put something in there by now...)

I would be interested to hear what you think of it after using it for a while. I would love to get one of these and get rid of a couple of other lenses.

Here's a link to a bunch of photo's I took today, resized for the MTB website and processed very roughly using Picasa2 (it reads NEF, and for web work who needs more, that's my opinion!)

In the Terrey Hills post (top of the page) is a link to the photos, look for those posted today.

Also a couple here:
