I have been working in this field for too many years. Sorry but good and 28-200 are mutually exclusive. Too many comprimises. Desiging a lens over that zoom range is very, very difficult. Designing a good lens that is both wide angle and telephoto is almost impossible. Shoot a straight line near the edge of the frame. It will be distorted (bent). Might get by with a digital SLR with that lens as most only use a portion of the glass. Best rule: By the best glass and skimp on the body. The image is made by the glass. The body's major functions are to hold the film flat and have a predictable shutter. I have been shooting Nikon as my 35mm for many years but am not realy biased against the major brands. Stick with Canon, Nikon, Contax or Leica (depending on your bank roll) buy used if you have to. I used to work in the used equipment biz. (that is what unemployed photographers do) You can get good deals on good equipment. There are many reputable dealers. Pick up a Shutterbug from the news stand and use the vendors that have a good return policy. In the used biz, cheapest price is not necessarily the best buy.What do I carry in my bag? 18/2.8, 20-35/2.8, 35-70/2.8, 80-200/2.8 and sometimes a 60/2.8 and a 300/2.8 (all Nikkors) D-1 and DCS 760
