The 18-55mm VR feels perfectly matched to the weightless D40, D40x, D60 or D80. The worst thing is you might break the mount and drop an expensive heavy camera like the D2Xs if you pick them up by grabbing the lens. It's not likely to break with normal use: I've made 10,000 shots or more with my non-VR 18-55mm pictured below. Guess what? If you destroy this 18-55 VR after the five-year USA warranty expires, buy a another new one and you're out a total of not much more than half the price of the 18-200 VR or 16-85 VR. Its diaphragm works perfectly on my D3 at 11 frames per second. What you lose for paying less than one-third the price is durability, instant manual-focus override and zoom range. The 18-55mm VR has superb optics in a plastic mount for light weight and low cost. This 18-55mm VR focuses closer than either of the more expensive lenses, weighs less, is smaller and has less distortion at the long end. In some very subtle ways its optics can outperform the more expensive 16-85mm VR and 18-200mm VR lenses. For under $200, this could be the only lens you'd ever need.
