This is a stupid rhetorical question so I apologize in advance. Probably no one will be able to give me a good answer because the question itself *can't* be answered. Still.. I own an 18-55 kit lens and a 55-200 vr for which I paid half what I would have had to pay for an 18-200. Even now, months later, I'm wondering if there's any advantage to the 18-200 over this lens pair other than not having to switch lenses. Theoretically, switching lenses frequently will get dirt into my camera and eventually damage the sensor - but that isn't *that* likely and I would in any case still switch to primes now and then. So..... is there any good reason to pay double what an 18-55, 55-200 costs just for the convenience of not having to switch lenses; or is there some other, weird, solid reason for only owning the 18-200 since, from what I've heard, image quality is so similar as to be indistinguishable?
