Value For Money

This lens costs around £500, which seems quite expensive as Nikon's 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR II can be picked up for £35 more, which sports slightly better build quality and a longer zoom range. The fact that Sigma's 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC OS HSM can be picked up for around £230, only reinforces that this lens is quite expensive.

Although this lens isn't available as part of a kit yet, it seems like the logical home for this will be sold bundled with an SLR. Whether it will be added to a kit with one of Nikon's current SLRs, or a new one remains to be seen.
