Re: Disappointed

Considering that you have the 55-250 which is a great lens why not sell the 18-200 and use the funds to purchase a normal zoom such as the Tamron 17-50 or Sigma 17-50? They are both excellent lenses and you'll have 17 to 250 covered albeit requiring lens swapping occasionally. You'll should even have a bit of change left over to add a polarizing filter.

I did the same as you and hoped that I could replace a few lenses with one all singing all dancing lens and not give anything up. What you give up is quality in large amounts!
