AF-S VR Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED

this one is not a rumor, newest VR lens from Nikon. Universal 18-200 lens, this pretty much cover all the range for D-SLR, ideal for traveller :)

The lenses consits of 16 piece of glass in 13 groups, 2 pieces of ED and 3 pieces of ASP. Mininmum rage 0.5 m. with 1:4.8 magnification. 72 mm filter thread.

This is my dream all-purpose lense, only if it's lower than $1,000 :D
