Jeremy, that's cool that you're thrilled with the value of the lens. All of us here are offering free opinions that are hopefully taken in context by those reading these pages.

Nikon sells a LOT of those lenses because for most people, convenience trumps ultimate image quality. There's nothing wrong with that. We all have different needs. It is what it is.

For those who are in-fact interested in optimizing image quality, it is worth noting that all of the zoom lenses targeted at the pro market limit zoom range to 3x or less. Notably for Nikon, 14-24, 24-70, 70-200, and 200-400. All of the extreme zooms, 18-200, 28-300, etc. make fairly major optical compromises.

On the other hand, in on-line forums such as this we frequently find bold self-affirming statements of such lenses producing as good or better quality images than one of better optical design. Such statements are more refletive of the standard of quality and/or personality of the photographer in question than of the quality of the lens.

All I was saying is that if anyone is interested in getting one LCE have one, I should have stated this clearer so that such responses were at least tried to evaded, however what has happened is that MY COMMENTS were meant for another thread and I mistakenly started a new one BY MISTAKE, well duh, sorry I am not as perfect as some ..................
