Ken's website and other places were saying that the biggest problem with using FX lens on the D90 is the corner distortion, and that this lens is really more made for the D90:

Nikon 10-24mm
The 10-24 looks like a fun lens. I haven't played with one at all tho.

For quality Nikon eq reviews check out...
Nikkor Lenses

Best buy sell forum for cameras that I know of...

Interesting... I pop on there when I want feature comparisons and seem to get pretty good basic technical info, but that's good to know. I guess maybe he writes reviews based on what he assumes it would be like given the specs?

Stuka, maybe you should try this lens I saw at a Civil War event I went to yesterday

Try looking at the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 Macro. It's great in low light and for close-up shots as well. It's my go-to lens on my D700.

Also, you won't get any distortion using a FX lens on a DX body. Using a DX lens on a FX body however is a no-no.

Actually, I think that's the 500! I was shooting it with 400mm

A good customer recommended this 18-200 to me. Said it was a very good lens for the money.
