The complaint was that the 18-200 VR had dull colors. Now it's oversaturated. Believe it or not, colors in the middle of the Mohave desert on a clear Spring morning actually are that bright. (The third shot is a time exposure taken in the spill light of a Las Vegas neon marquee.)
In any case, the 18-200 is sharp enough to print very large at any f-stop or zoom position, and it's perfectly capable of capturing vivid colors.
By the way, the colors here are set for viewing on a Macintosh Cinema Display. If you're viewing on a PC the colors will be slightly higher contrast.

Well then, we agree to disagree. Either way though, you are lucky that you find the 18-200VR acceptable. I'm seriously considering selling mine while I can still get a good $ for it (especially if DX goes obsolete).
That will be a while. Not everyone upgrades their bodies to the latest and greatest. People still actually use film cameras. Nikon has 1 full frame camera right now that is what $5000? I think it is safe to say, DX will be around for years to come.

Which is what lens?
I don't think DX will be going obsolete either. It's a matter of economics. Full frame would be too expensive and a lot companies have invested much in making DX lenses.

My advice to you:
- Use your own ears as everybody's hearing and preferences are different.
- Try to audition as much equipment as possible to find your sound.
- Buy used to save money.
Tamron 90mm f/2.8, and quite a bit of cash. I wasn't completely sure if I wanted to get this or the Nikon 85 1.8, but this trade opp came up, and it was actually a lot easier and a bit more advantageous than selling it would have been anyway.

A prime (pun intended) exchange, Peter.
Now you can capture dust and metal filings on all our gear.
Should do as a medium tele in addition to macro duties. Have fun with it ... I know you will.

I recently got the Tokina 100mm f/2.8 Macro, but I haven't had a chance to put it through its paces yet. I think it's going to prove to be pretty useful.
