Am thinking of getting this lense, but am curious how it performs in light situations. Can someone pls post some
pics?

Some indoor shot. I am still trying to improve my shooting with this lens.

Anyone knows which aperture or zoom is sharp on this lens?

"Aperture & Focal length does makes a difference. 18-200IS is sharpest from F5.6-F8.0 and focal length 50mm-135mm. Reference :

a lil contribution from my cam.. i'm the user of 18-200 too ;p

No problem.

CPL = Circular Polarizer Lens filter. Mainly use for helping to stop down overexposed skies and cut off water reflections. Very useful on a bright day.

GND = Graduated Neutral Density filter. A versatile ND filter with gradient coating which you can used to do a gradual darkening on parts of the shot on the coated area. Mainly use to stop down skies and at the same time retain the exposure on the non coated part.

Can anyone tell me where to get GND filter?
And how much it is ?

Hi Chooster
These pictures are not sharp, have you taken handheld, is there camera shake ?

Thanks

A beautiful sunset yesterday. Taken at 200mm handheld 1/200s.

Comments & critiques welcomed as still learning too :sweat:

Nice sunset photo.

Can see quite severe chromatic aberration around the sun. Do you crop the image to enlarge it?

Yup the CA was pretty bad, should have corrected it during PP. This was cropped about 50%. 200mm was not quite long enough. But w 15MP it was still manageable :sweat:

Oh I didn't know we can share pictures in this thread. Here are my humble shots

Sunset at Ulu Pandan

Pano at Sg Quarry

Henderson Waves

Plane?

The 28-300mm L lens would be much better alternative, On looks, feel and IQ.

on crop, you will lose 10mm on the wide end and the cost isnt as nice as the 18-200, something to think about :think:

Just for comparison. Same sunset I think, but shot with a prime, uncropped.

Haha on top of that budget is of another issue, 28-300mm is expensive rite? :bsmilie:

Just to add (add)...

On top of the cost, one would also have to consider the weight & size of the 28-300L as compared to 18-200IS when you are using it for traveling.

That the main reason why I didn't purchase the L when I got a FF.

Thanks for the compliments for the shot.

The 18-200IS lens is a good all-in-one lens, have seen photographers with excellent shots with this lens. Sad to say, I have only been able to utilize a small portion of it's fullest potential. :sweat:
