Well, I'm still torn right now. I have the highly rated 18-70 AFS DX lens that I got with the camera, and I have been seeking out the 70-210 AF-D to compliment it, but the newest lens from Nikon has been causing EVERYONE seemingly to sell those other lenses to buy the single 18-200 VR that is listing for $700 but selling for a lot more by anyone who has them because they have been so highly regarded.
Right now, the market value of the $400 18-70 has been almost cut in half, and the 70-210 is selling for about $325, so for the essential cost of both, I could buy the 18-200 and carry only one lens to do everything (which is why everyone is paying through the nose to get this thing). Then again, I probably couldn't get $200 for the new 18-70 right now, so I'm kinda stuck. I'm hoping the prices on the 70-210 come down to make the decision easier. Maybe I'll pick up the 18-200 in about 6 months when everyone has one already.
Donno why I just rambled about that. Maybe it's because my wife thinks I'm a loon when I start babbling about things that she couldn't care less about.
BTW, the D70s is AWESOME! I love it so far. Can't wait to get outside with a longer lens.
