You're right, I jinxed you. Sorry.
That's the first thing that happened to me that let me know something was wrong. The zoom "hung" about 2/3 of the way. Then no focus. Then no wide-angle.
I suspect the elements and mechanism have just "gone off the rails".
Sorry to hear the same thing happened to you.
They say misery loves company, but to be honest, I'd be happier to be the only one who had this problem.
Good luck!

--I read this thread at work today and smugly thought to myself "My
18-200VR has been working great for over a year with no problems"...
Well, tonight I was at a Hermins Hermits concert at the fair shooting
Peter Noone with the lens on my D200 and after about 34 photos the
lens locked up and I couldn't zoom out past 50mm...Arghhhh!! I
thought of your post and said that ba$tard cursed me!!...(I really
did think that... ;> )
Got home and took the lens off and got it to zoom back out to 18mm
but somehting is rattleling inside really bad....
Off to Nikon it goes. I hope I get it back in time for vacation in
two weeks!...
Oh well, I still love Nikon and realize this could have happened with
any manufacturer...
Weird coincidence though...
