I've got this lens i don't use.....

Hey folks, just wanting to know some advice on a lens I own....

Nikon 28-200mm f3.5 - 5.6 G -

Apparently its a harder to find lens, is it? how much is it valued at? great lens takes a great shot just curious to know as i am looking at selling it with my d200 but if its a lens u all think is worth keeping I might keep it.

Is it valuable? lol - silly question probably but worth asking before i potentially sell it!

Not a bad lens but build quality medium. Might make the difference in selling your D200. Looking at the lenses you have, you already have those focal length covered, so my vote is - Sell it :-) BTW, I don't need that lens, so I'm not trying to entice you to put it up for sale :D

Variable aperture lenses not usually built or made for pro use. Unload.
