    heya :D
    I did indeed (and still do) have the 18-55mm and it was the VR version. Personally I don't really need a telephoto lens but take a lot of shots of friends and closeup wildlife, so decided to expand upon what I've got and go from about 3.8x zoom to about 5.6x - it just fitted my style more than the telephoto 55-200 would do :) I must admit, I nearly went for the 55-200, especially the VR lens as that's a must for me, but on the day, the shorter one suited me more (plus I HATE changing the lens :rotfl:)
    I just realised thats a big bundle of babble.. hmm. I guess it depends on what you shoot the most :) but the VR? totally worth the extra splash of cash I'd say :D

    That's not babble, makes sense to me. I want to do some wildlife stuff and feel that the longer focal length would be better for this but the lower end of the 55-200 would still be suitable for portraits etc. I generally find the 18-55 a bit frustrating as it just doesn't get close enough.

    oh tell me about it.. :rotfl::rotfl: hence the upgrade (plus the evening course I figured it would be useful for :) )
    you've found yourself a bargain there though.. :)
    I get the feeling I'm going to regret my choice in a few years but hey.. I love this one so far :D
