While we are on the topic of lenses:

1. Can one tell from the lens "name" whether it is full frame or not? I am aware of DX vs FX, but that is not always indicated.

2. Any suggestions for a full frame equivalent of the Nikkor 18-200 VR? I have used it with a D200 and enjoyed it very much. Just upgraded to a D700 and have not been able to find an equivalent. Read elsewhere that Tamron makes something similar, but in the store, we encountered problems with the zoom - it seem to lock briefly upon retraction. Tried with two different bodies and two lenses. Seems to be a design problem. Has anyone else experienced this.

Thanks.
