Hubby is considering buying a second one now. No more camera bag, the 18-200 does it all. You also won't need a macro with the 18-200, the 80-200 only focusses 5 ft, that's not enough for macro, and sometimes not enough for portrait/porn.

Couldn't agree more. Had this lens for about a month now and it has been very versatile. I typically shoot in studio where my shotting bays are 16'x16'. I recently was forced to shoot in a hotel suite and was on top of the model the whole time. From studio to tight corners this lens delivered.
