It sounds like megazooms have improved some since the days of my 28-200, less distortion than there used to be. To be fair, the design is for a digital sensor, so there is a smaller surface area that has to be filled with the lens. I did a bit of reading on the 18-200.

I wanted the image stabilization and increased zoom factor. I may also get the fixed 50mm as you suggested, but will see about that after getting some play time with this other lens.
