This is my new "everyday" lens. It rarely leaves my D200. I am so impressed with the sharpness of this lens; it can hold up next to many of my primes, which is quite impressive for a zoom. The color and contrast are fantastic.
I have the 18-200 and hated the fact that the zoom would slide out if I was shooting downward. (Thus ruining the shot.) This zoom is solid, almost stiff. Which, to me, is a good thing.
The only flaws I've found are: very minor chromatic aberration in bright sunlight (backlit shots), heavy, and pricey. The price, overall, is most definately worth it. You will get your money's worth.
