Well, as a D200 shooter this can't go without a thank you to Marcus and Klaus too. The end of a long era in Nikon lens/body testing.
I acquired this lens' non-VR brother when I got my D40, and have to say that as a travel lens it's hard to beat. I've worked and travelled in countries where security is not up to west European standards, and for such a small outlay in money one can feel happier with such a cheap-to-replace lens sitting in the car, hotel bedroom, etc. With care, results can be very, very good from a very lightweight setup.
Thanks again, boys.
