You have G O T to be joshing!!!! ;-) The 28-200's are horrid! Most
Nikkor primes are superb! You WILL see the difference, even in 5x7's
(heck, even 4x6's, unless you cannot see close objects, like prints,
very well....). And to rely on what B. S. says about a lens is
blasphemy in these here parts! ;-) (He says good things everything,
even the lenses that look bad even in small reproductions.....)
Hope This Helps
