I have used this lens for a month with my Nikon D200. I especially love two things about this lens: the wide focal-length range, and the performance of the VR system. Of course, it goes without saying that I love the optical performance of any Nikon lens.
The wide range means that this is a one-lens solution for travel and for daily use. I like to take my D200 with this lens, plus my SB-800 flash, with me at all times. With an 18-200 range, I'm ready for almost any shooting situation that comes up.
The VR means that, combined with the low noise of the D200, I can take more pictures without using flash, which is important to me. Using a Manfrotto monopod, I am now taking available-light photos in situations where I had to use flash before. The available-light photos are more natural-looking, and do not have the ugly shadows on the wall that are often part of event photography.
There is some optical distortion at the wide end of the lens, but it is slight considering the wide capabilities of the lens, and is easily corrected in Photoshop CS2.
My only complaint is that the zoom mechanism is tight at the wide end of the lens, but loose at the telephoto end, and is prone to "creep" at the telephoto end. This is a minor complaint about a lens that otherwise is perfect for me.
