As Eric, Ontos, I use a 18-200 VR the only thing I'll say is that all zoom lenses are a compromise as the light has to pass through much more glass in order to zoom and maintain a flat image where as fixed length lenses use less glass so the image quality of say a fixed focal length 50mm lens will be on average better than a zoom set at 50mm but makes taking action shots very limited. As with all things Ontos its a case of what may suit one person may not suit another.
Eric is definately the man to ask about digital. I use it with limited success, but most of my photographic work has been done in the days of roll film and developing dishes so Im still learning digital myself. As for the software, that just drives me potty first thing I did learn was that half the stuff you can do is rubbish making aunt Mable look like shes a negative or oil painting gets boring very quickly.
