Interesting note. Didn't know the Nikon 18-70mm is difficult to handle
manually. Do you mean the green dot that indicates focusing doesn't even
activate when you use that lens for the D200?
I've considered fixed focal lenses. Years ago, a seller offered a fixed
Nikon 20mm vs the Sigma 18-35mm. The Sigma was an award winner then, so
I took it instead. Now, I regret that decision.

Hi Elson
I got the Nikon 18-70mm with my D200, and have been using it for about
10 months. The automatic focus function is very accurate in my
experience, however It is not the easiest lens to focus manually as it
has no internal guides.
Have you considered using fixed focal lenses?
