Hi Brian, I have the Nikon 18-200mm lens on a D80 myself, and there are a few things to note. I understand that the Sigma AF is a bit slower than the Nikon's, and I have heard that the Nikon is built much better than any of the comperable lenses. I have been very, very happy with this lens, and use it alot. I cant afford some of the "Pro" lenses yet so I carry this one everywhere. It seems to be built very well. I have noticed a bit of vignetting at 200mm, but that is somewhat common I have heard. When I was looking at buying, everyone I spoke with recommended getting the Nikon over the Sigma.

Hope this helps you.

I have not read thru this whole thread, but I use this lens on a D80, and I have noticed that if I turn on the VR, my shots tend to have a bit of blur to them. So I have found that it is best for me to only turn the VR on when I am in a position that I know will require it.
