AIR was established in 1993 with the mission of implementing environmental education programs, Sustainable Farming methods, building efficient stoves and planting millions of trees with low-income rural families in Central America. The impact of this mission is to prevent lung disease, reduce soil erosion, improve food crops and nutrition, prevent deadly mudslides, while sequestering carbon and protecting the gift of the Earth.

AIR, or "AIRES" in Spanish, works in three departments in central Guatemala, where farmer training and reforestation projects have been implemented in over 150 communities with over 200 AIR tree nurseries, and in 200 schools over the past 22 years. These departments are Chimaltenango; Solola; and Sacatepequez. (AIR also has one small project in Nicaragua.)

AIR is incorporated within the US where many volunteers support the mission of combining Education + Food Security + Environmental care. But AIR is distinctive because all salaried staff are themselves Guatemalan professionals and most speak the native Mayan languages-- this is one of the secrets of AIR's measurable, long-lasting success. Another key is that AIR technicians work in a community or school for FIVE years, not leaving until the lessons of Sustainability have transformed the community.
AWARDS: In 2013, AIR was recognized by the UN Conference on Climate Change as one of only six organizations in the world in the category of "Momentum for Change: Women with Results." In 2011, Dr. Anne Hallum was named one of the CNN Heroes by the Broadcasting Company; and in 2011, Dr. Hallum won the Morton Award from the National Arbor Day Foundation. She is also a Paul Harris Rotary Fellow. AIR, Inc. was named the "Best Environmental Organization" in the nation of Guatemala in 2004 by the National Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (INAB) and was a finalist again in 2013. AIR has also been recognized by numerous local government officials in Guatemala and in the US. The Awards show the credibility and reputation of this small, effective NGO.
Because all of AIR's salaried staff are Guatemalan, the Annual Reports are written in Spanish for the Board of Directors, except for the registration reports submitted to the State of Florida and the State of Georgia, departments of Consumer Services, available on their websites. We have included photos, Financial Reports and Metrics here, as well as contact information.

How does this organization make a difference?
Self-reported by organization
AIR added more schools & new communities in 2015-2016 totaling over 200 communities over AIR's history, and the residents of these communities benefit both directly and indirectly from more protective trees and better crops. We are expanding to Department of Quiche. NUMBERS:
* At least 3,000 families trained for 5 years by AIR resulting in better food crops, more trees & fewer mudslides
* 840 fuel-efficient stoves constructed by AIR preventing lung disease & burns and conserving estimated 840 TONS of firewood each year;
* 200 schools have received AIR's environmental curriculum, reaching thousands of children and their families. AIR also provides organic gardens, tree nurseries and scholarships at many schools;
* In 2016 generous donors from Central Florida Presbytery and Coronado Community United Methodist Church have allowed AIR to hire a new Technician, purchase a motorcycle for him and expand to the impoverished Department of Quiche;
* 4.8 million trees planted by hand and reforested mountainsides--not even counting the planting that continues after the 5 years of training!
To build many more STOVES that prevent lung disease, conserve trees, and motivate families to plant trees;
To install rainwater CISTERNS, thanks to a new program addressing Guatemala's recent drought;
To continue training hundreds more Mayan farmers, including in the new Department of Quiche;
To introduce two NEW groups of volunteers to AIR's work (but not become a "tourist agency");
To distribute AIR's environmental curriculum, which has been updated and printed with a grant from Environmental Resource Management (ERM) Foundation
To plant by hand, at least 350,000 more beneficial trees
Self-reported by organization
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
Tree nurseries
Tree Nurseries - AIR has approximately 200 nurseries in 130 communities and dozens of schools, established over AIR's history. The population served by these nurseries are the resident families who participate in the agro-forestry training by AIR technicians and who manage the tree nurseries and own the tree seedlings produced. AIR provides all seeds, materials and training. AIR staff and volunteers have planted over 4.2 million trees by hand from these nurseries!
Program long term success
Long-term success is that AIR forests remain on steep mountain slopes for years, protecting homes and watersources below, because residents were trained to understand the value of trees for services other than firewood. Trees also remain in and around fields for years, providing nutrients for the soil and serving as windbreaks for sustainable farming far into the future. After 20 years of work, AIR can document numerous forests in the Department of Chimaltenango, resulting from the nurseries, that were planted almost 20 years ago and are still standing (unlike reforestation projects where trees are simply cut down for firewood). Furthermore, over 2,500 families have received training in sustainable farming improving crop productivity, and approximately 50% of them still maintain tree nurseries and reforestation 10 years after AIR completed the five-year training. Finally, trees have been planted around water sources near most of the 130 villages to protect the springs and rivers from erosion.
Program success monitored by
AIR Technicians work in communities and schools for five years, so they see the success of farmer training over a long period in the crop yields, and they count the number of trees planted. In addition, members of AIR's Board of Directors visit the sites at least once a year to see the tree nurseries and talk with the farmers. Finally, twenty to thirty third-party volunteers from the US visit the sites every year and talk with farmers as they work side-by-side.
Program success examples
In the mountainous region of El Rincon in Chimaltenango, an absentee landlady illegally clear-cut 110 acres of large trees in the year 2000. The Guatemalan government contacted AIR technicians for three reasons: (a) to map the area and reforest it; (b) to train the Mayan families living there in Sustainable farming; and (c) to help them gain legal title to the land which the landlady forfeited. AIR accomplished all of these tasks over the next five years, and now there is a restored beautiful forest, 57 families have more nutritious and plentiful crops and legal title to the land, and wildlife has returned to the region. This is but ONE example of whole mountainsides reforested and thousands of people with more food security.

Program 2
Farmer training
AIR technicians train in five or six villages each; they help farmers implement agro-forestry methods in their own fields-- increasing food crops without using dangerous chemicals! They also have School programs and have published a curriculum--so the farmer training begins early, and tree nurseries on planted at each school.
Program long term success
Long-term success is when farmers greatly increase their crop yields and the food security and nutrition for their families-- they teach their children the methods as well. These methods also reduce soil erosion, prevent mudslides over the long-term for the whole area. AIR has trained 1,500 farmers, benefiting 1,500 families and their communities
Program success monitored by
AIR's Executive Director prepared annual report for the Board of Directors with number and size of community groups served number of visits to each community. Board members will visit communities in person once or twice a year.
Program success examples
A farmer training program was established in Pachay las Lomas, Guatemala in 1995. The residents were trained over five years, and began using the methods in their own fields, then the group graduated. Today, the children, now grown, still have a tree nursery, reforested mountains, and healthy families.

Program 3
Fuel-efficient stoves
Brick, fuel-efficient stoves each year are built by AIR technicians and volunteers. These stoves ventilate harmful smoke to improve family health, and they conserve a ton of firewood each year, and are an important incentive for farmers to reforest and participate in farmer training.
Program long term success
AIR has built 750 fuel-efficient stoves, improving the health of 750 families and conserving 750 tons of firewood each year (while also planting hundreds of thousands of trees!)
Program success monitored by
AIR's director orders all stove materials, and keeps track of expenditures. This is included in the Annual Report to the Board of Directors. AIR's Board members visit many homes each year to see the stoves in use; and virtually 100 percent of the 750 families report using less firewood and breathing easier!
Program success examples
As noted, each stove conserves approximately one ton firewood each year; and AIR has constructed 750 such stoves. These are Plancha stoves, which have cast iron tops and an interior design that draws and holds heat inside, warming the entire kitchen area with just a few pieces of wood per day.
More than once, the woman receiving the new stove (which takes two days to build) will have a fiesta with music and decorations when the stove is finished, celebrating the dramatic change in her daily life and in her lung health and the health of her children. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of these structures, which are too expensive for the vast majority of the population without assistance from an outside organization. Importantly, AIR incorporates the stoves with (a) tree nurseries and reforestation; (b) farmer training programs for farmers; and (c) education programs for children and youth. The stoves are part of the comprehensive approach.

Program 4
Youth Scholarship program
AIR selects fourteen students-- seven girls and seven boys-- and finds US sponsors to pay their tuition and purchase school supplies, uniforms, and transportation, to allow them to graduate from high school;
Program long term success
Scholarship students who have graduated from high school have found jobs as teachers and accountants and nurses, etc. They have also continued to volunteer with their families in the AIR tree nurseries. In addition, the scholarship program is an incentive for families to volunteer in the tree nursery and farmer training.
Program success monitored by
The Executive Director (Cecilia Ramirez) and the technicians keep track of every student and their grades and success. They have two meetings a year at the AIR Training Center with their parents for further mentoring.
The AIR Board members will meet with scholarship students each year, and information is included in the Annual Report to the Board.
Program success examples
A dozen students have now completed the program, and most of them have found jobs and are contributing to their community and to Guatemala. The students in the program currently are maintaining their good grades and enthusiasm for caring for the environment.

Funding Needs
Needs for AIR, Inc. Increase donations to $160,000 for AIR's staff in Guatemala and for the educational and reforestation programs; paid staff members of AIR, Inc. are residents of Guatemala and we need an additional technician. $18,000 to $20,000 - Extra funding for a new or used pick-up truck. AIR's current vehicles are over 6 years old, and one is over 10 years old. It is dangerous for AIR staff members to drive on mountain roads in old vehicles, and strong vehicles are essential for reaching remote communities and tree nurseries; $ 5,000 for new technician to have a motorcycle.

AIR does not have an Executive Director in the United States (the unpaid Board of Directors is very active). However, AIR does have an administrative Field Director in Chimaltenango, Guatemala, Sra. Cecilia Ramirez. She has worked with AIR since 1999 as a Field Director. She has a degree in Business Administration and is a skilled budget administrator and organizer. She also often works in the field directly-- planting trees and building stoves alongside volunteers in order to know every aspect of the work. She manages the scholarship program directly, for instance, and is in charge of all communication with the Board of Directors.

Shrink wrap machine systems come in many styles, with one to fit any budget and shrink wrap packaging need. Manual shrink wrap machines are portable, light weight, built to last, and requires no assembly. Shrink wrap sealers feature an adjustable LED timer, maintenance kit, and starter roll of shrink wrap film. Shrink wrap systems come with an ultra-light adjustable temperature shrink wrap heat gun. Semi-Automatic L Bar Sealers can handle a higher volume of shrink packaging than manual shrink wrap machines by using a shrink tunnel for sealing packages with either polyolefin shrink wrap film or PVC shrink wrap film. Our low priced startup kit will easily pay for itself after 4-5 completed shrink wrap jobs. To keep our prices as low as possible we do not include onsite training as standard but this can be arranged at an extra cost. Even a small boat can cost several hundred dollars to shrink wrap, and protecting a large boat could cost you a lot more. An elementary startup kit consists of simply a gas heat gun, a roll of marine grade shrink wrap, woven strapping, self-adhesive patch tape, safety gloves and safety knifes, however, a range of equipment is available depending on your exact requirements. All start up kits includes step by step instructions plus free telephone or email support.
Shrink wrap machines and industrial shrink wrap L Bar Sealers are mid-sized and very economical one step shrink wrap systems. L Bar Shrink wrap seal systems use both polyolefin shrink wrap film and pvc shrink film. L bar shrink wrap systems can shrink and seal 7-10 packages per minute. Shrink wrap can be produced in an extensive variety of sizes and thicknesses depending on the needed application, amount of durability and duration of exposure to different elements. Fresh water expands in volume by about nine percent when it freezes and can push outwards with a force of tens of thousands of pounds per square inch. That expansion can crack an engine block, damage fiberglass, split hoses, or destroy a refrigeration system overnight.
An analysis of ten years of freeze claims files found that more than three-quarters involved cracks in the engine block. Shrink Film represents a large price advantage over traditional packaging methods. The low volume and weight of shrink film saves additional storage. Shrink film protects from humidity, dust, and dirt. We do not stock many polyethylene shrink film products, but we are familiar with some common thicknesses. Our pallet shrink bags are made from polyethylene shrink film. Pallet shrink bags commonly come in a 4-6 mil thickness. Most marine polyethylene shrinks rolls range in thickness from 4-12 mils. The heavier thickness is often used for large heavy items. Marine shrink wrap often comes in blue and white in color.
We have recognized the best potential care and it absolutely inspire the customers to use the decomposable covers and hence reusing is carried out.
We have been satisfied with each facility, and their flexibility to work with our time schedule. Their consistency and individual devotion is outstanding.
Shrink wrapping kit works great for storing. We use a UV constant plastic so the plastic with stands the harmful UV rays.
They displayed up on time and took care of my boat as assured. The professionals will provide the rules to safeguard the boat.

Just Us
I'm sitting in stocking feet on the schools stage. Around me are a good number of other cast and crew members, next to me is a girl I know from classes, she's ignoring me and so is pretty much everyone else. Looking around I see a few people who i recognize from my elementary school and shrink a little further back. That school was never fun for me and was somewhat of a personal hell and now I worried that that would carry on into this production. Taking a deep breath I focused my attention on looking for people who I might be able to make friends with, and just getting a general idea of who i was going to have to be careful not to cross. There were a few people who caught my eye, first were girls who were ignoring me to look cool but I'd known since childhood, my best friend being fashionably late as usual but the rest being there all in their usual giggly mood, i waved to them but they were too busy singing some vulgar song to notice (probably the reason i wasn't sitting with them in the first place). One girl sitting with them scared me a lot, the thought of being in the darkened wings of the stage with the person who had dreamed of killing me and had bullied me for eight years previously and beaten me up daily for the past two was not something I looked forward to especially. Shivering at the thought I moved my eyes to a second group on the right, there was nobody I knew there, though one girl was familiar to me because she'd stood out in the halls due to the fact that she always wore a tie make of plastic pearls and had crazy blond hair. I laughed a little at the way she was acting, very much extroverted and slightly insane. The girl next to her seemed a little intimidated by her I thought to myself. Continuing to search through the groups several more people caught my eye, they included a boy that had been on my bus before he graduated, a brother and sister who had been in a spilt class two years ago (neither had the slightest liking for me) , and one girl who I'd become fascinated by the first few weeks of the year because her hair was straighter than i would have ever thought possible. I bit my lip remembering how that little fascination had scared me so much, even though it lasted such a short time and had been over a month ago, it had scared me. I remembered panicking thinking 'oh my gawd what if i'm like...gay' but then I'd laughed and brushed it off, and the girl became nothing but part of the crowd of people who I saw daily. Once again, I had to shake off the memory in order to move on with my careful observance of the company I now belonged to. I spotted a girl who my eyes had missed because she was sitting farther back than most, like me, with a group sitting forward and blocking her from view until they joined the circle. The moment I saw her it was amazed that I hadn't noticed her before because she stood out so much, she seemed so different. She wore a yellow uniform shirt (which I had never seen before because they had stopped making them for our school years ago so nearly everybody wore either blue or white) and most noticeable of all, a toy zebra that doubled as a backpack. I watched her for a moment as she made notes in a large binder with almost nothing in it. I wondered what it was for but then our director (who was also my favorite teacher) called us all to attention again and gave an opening statement of sorts. After this she introduced the two assistant stage managers (who looked surprisingly uninterested seeing as it was the first rehearsal) and then the girl who I'd been observing a few moments ago, she was the stage manager, which I guess explained the binder. Waving a cheery hello, she told us her name was Ella.
She started to take attendance and I could hear that she was a little nervous, mispronouncing a few names. During this tedious roll call i learned the names of a few more people, the girl who I had noticed in the halls was named Elizabeth (or liz for short) and it turned out that she had a sister named Alice, also, there was a guy with a beard who in all honesty scared me a lot (at the beginning of grade nine nobody is quite used to guys having facial hair) was named David. When the stage manager came to my name she hesitated for a moment , so short that it was almost impossible to notice and looked up at me which I was amazed at because she seemed to almost know who I was. I felt a moment of fear as our eyes met and we said hello because she was the stage manager and something told me that this was not the person I wanted to cross. She gave a small smile and went back to finishing the rest of the attendance, and as she read the rest of the names, I wondered what this production would bring.

Runs rough after mudding, winch dead
I was out mudding in a farm field with some friends today. My buddies chevy got way stuck, in the same place I didn't. As we were laughing at him my jeep started to shudder.....shimmy......and cough. I gunned it and took off to hook onto him to pull him out. As I was waiting to get hooked up it did it again and then died........It wouldn't restart,after a couple of minutes it kinda turned over and coughed and puked...then started and ran very rough, when I put it in gear it died. after about 10 min I finally got it to start and smooth out. after that it ran fine until i went and power washed it off. It did the same thing over again but not as long. Any ideas what or why??
Also my warn m8000 winch seems to have died after the very first pull on it. After I was able to get my jeep to keep running we hooked on to the chevy with my winch and I started to pull. It was so muddy that it was just pulling my jeep in to him. I stopped and we hooked another jeep to the ass end of mine to help anchor it. As I pushed the switch to real in the winch it did nothing but a quick click.....no in, no out......nada....I wasn't real happy, and now I have about 20ft of cable wrapped around my front bumper. Any ideas about either one of those problems??
Obvious reason being that you got mud somewhere it shouldn't have been.
Wet distributor cap. Carry a can of WD-40 with you to spray the inside of the cap when this happens.
As far as the winch, It sounds like a possible relay/switch problem or fuse somwhere. Hopefully someone with more experience on winches will chime in.;)
Take the cover off where the solenoids (relays) are on the winch and rinse all the mud out, then chase all the water/moisture out with copious amounts of WD-40. WD-40 is a good thing for when things get wet, too bad it's not also the great lubricant WD-40 wants us to think it is too. :)
Hope you didn't burn up the solenoids. It seems to happen quit often, when pulling Chevy's, out of the mud. The are lead sleds...........:D
Are you running an Optima? Or a battery with side terminals? Dont hook your winch cables up to those side terminals if thats how you are running it. They arent rated to take such an amp draw and they will burn stuff out. Trust me, I found out the hard way. Sounds just like what happened in your case. Get some longer bolts for your main battery leads and bolt your winch cables on top. The top posts will do much better with the amount of power the winch neds to draw. If you are already running your cables o the top leads then Id say you probably burned up a selenoid under the winch control box as stated above.
Ok, I took off the top and they all look the same.....Any ideas on how to tell which one is dead? At 20 bucks a pop, i'm hoping it's just one of them....

I stood still looking up into the sky, it rained and rained and still I stood there looking into the sky. My clothes clung to me, cold and wet I stood. I must have stood there quite a while because out of nowhere a man comes running up to me checking if I am ok. I don't know who the tall man was, he looked about 35, dark and slim with a physique a woman always notices. He bent down to speak to me, I felt awfully short looking up into his blue eyes. He smelt minty like he had just been chewing on a chewing gum not long before speaking to me.
I wasn't really listening to the sounds coming from his mouth, I just stood looking up in the rain. I moved my head a small way to see what else was in the sky when I heard a siren approaching me, something must have happened close by I thought, still looking into the sky. I felt a shiver go down my back, like someone had tickled there finger down my spine, I shuddered but carried on looking up to the sky.
I felt a strong cold wind catch my breath and a thunder bolt feeling in my head. I am not sure how long I stood that day, hours, minutes, seconds I didn't know. I just stood in the rain looking up. I woke with a start to a cold white room and my family standing by crying, calling my name. I am not standing in the rain anymore. I have woken from the accident. the accident that left my soul stood looking up into the sky in the pouring rain.

Our beef
We have around 140 beef cattle, mostly Aberdeen Angus. Our dairy cows are either served naturally by one of our two beautiful black Aberdeen Angus bulls (resulting in lovely dark brown calves). All these offspring become our beef cattle.
We also use semen from Friesian bulls. When both the cow and bull are Friesian, a resulting black and white female calf will become a dairy cow whereas a robust male calf will stay on for veal.
When the calves are born they stay with their mother for a couple of days. Then when she has to get back to work in the dairy herd, they go and live with a foster mum in the calf house. Each suckler cow will raise three or four calves.
At a couple of months old, weather permitting, the youngsters move out of the calf house; at first with some suckler cows for milk and guidance, then when they are old and wise enough a couple of weeks later they are weaned and live in groups without cows.
By this time the beef cattle have been separated from the veal and dairy heifers.
When winter comes they stay out in the fields as long as possible. Cold temperatures are not a problem because they produce wonderfully thick coats, but if it gets too wet and the fields start to suffer they come indoors where they enjoy thick straw beds and juicy silage (made from grass cut in the summer).
Our beef cattle are able to live this comfortable life for around two years, until they are "finished", which means they are ready to produce fantastic quality meat. If you'd like to sample our beef, why not visit our pub, The Royal Oak, where we regularly serve our own organic beef on the menu.
Our dairy cows
We are currently milking 120 Friesian cows from our total herd of 160. The remaining 40 cows are our "dry cows".
Generally speaking our milking cows have a calf once a year. Two months before they are due to be served or put into calf they have a break, they become a "dry cow" which means they don't produce milk.
Tio is our head herdsman and milks twice a day here at Eastbrook. Our milk goes to Yeo Valley Organic via OMSCO.

Just a followup, that was indeed the problem and everything is running nicely at this time. Well, the cluster suite is running. I've still got other issues :-)Bob's right, it sounds like the DLM isn't loaded. The module name is just "dlm" BTW and the device should show up in /proc/misc and (if udev is running) /dev/misc/dlm-control. lock_dlm is the GFS interface to the DLM...yes, I know it's confusing.

LX3 and neutral density filters
Guy Parsons wrote:
Must be some intense pixel peeping going on.
No, not all. I mostly look at my pictures on 2 to 2.5 Mpixel screens. So any Bayer sensor above 8 to 10 Mpixels is also beyond pointless.
At 100% pixel peep I can see LX3 losses at f/8 easily and can sometimes detect losses at f/5.6 so the situation is not so bad as painted by you. We don't want to frighten people!
We don't? Look the only people scared by that are those still hung up on the Mpixel race. Still, with the LX3, you can see diffraction in a comparison shot between ƒ/2.8 and ƒ/4. But I see that as a testament of how good the lens is wide open.
In real life I would say that the anti-alias filter and the Bayer pixel filter layout and all the necessary interpolation to get RGB back into each pixel dramatically alters any theoretical approach to determining diffraction loss.
In real life, the Airy disk at ƒ/8 covers about 20 pixels, and 10 at ƒ/5.6. Any thing above 4 pixels is going to degrade the image quality, even with the anti-aliasing filter, the Bayer filter mosaic, etc.
In everyday shooting I use P mode and the aperture wanders where it likes and I see no problems with normal full screen viewing or on any print size that I make (I only print to A4 size maximum but occasionally print crops that make the "zoom" a bit longer).
In everyday shooting I don't really care much, as even ƒ/5.6 is plenty for my designated purpose with this camera. I do avoid going above that, though.
Still, if I'm already carrying filters and the filter holder with me, I will use an ND filter and not go above ƒ/4.
By your same reckoning then something like the TZ10/ZS7 would really have a bad result at any aperture, yet it manages to display some reasonable resolution.
And what else is new? If the lens is any good (and given how Leica rebranded that particular camera, I do expect it to be one of the finest Panasonics, as is the LX3) the ZS7 is diffraction limited from the onset, at ƒ/3.3. That's not to say it's a bad camera, though. It's just to say that giving it any additional Mpixels would be thoroughly pointless. But that's nothing new as far as I'm concerned.

Diet and Nutrition Tips for People with Crohn's Disease
posted on
Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that usually affects the lower part of the small intestine. If you have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease, your doctor may refer you to a nutritionist to make sure that you are eating foods that will be absorbed by the body and to prevent malnutrition. Since many people who have Crohn's disease find it difficult to maintain a healthy weight with the standard diet, they may need to take nutritional supplements and eat certain types of food to ensure they are getting the nutrients, minerals and vitamins they need for good health.
If you are experiencing some of the symptoms of Crohn's disease, talk to your family physician as soon as possible. Your doctor can perform a thorough health evaluation and refer you to a dietitian or nutritionist who can help you maintain a healthy weight.
Diet Guidelines for People with Crohn's Disease
According to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, people with Crohn's disease have very sever inflammation of the small intestine which means that most foods are not readily digested and absorbed. Nutrients and unabsorbed bile salts can escape into the large intestine, and this may lead to malnourishment, diarrhea and abdominal discomfort.
In order to prevent some of these symptoms, people with Crohn's disease need to monitor their diet and avoid foods that aggravate some of the symptoms of IBD. While there is no special diet for sufferers of Crohn's disease, there are some things the sufferer can do to prevent bloating and indigestion, and also improve the health of their digestive system.
Some of the most effective ways to reduce symptoms and prevent "flare ups" of Crohn's disease include:
- Reducing and eliminating greasy food from the diet
- Limiting the consumption of milk and milk products
- Restricting and reducing intake of certain high-fiber foods because some of these foods can cause constipation and indigestion
- Eating smaller, easily-digestible meals every three to four hours, instead of three large meals per day
- Eating more wholesome and nutritious food at each meal
- Taking nutritional supplements to complement the diet
Some people with a severe case of Crohn's disease may need additional nutritional support. Enteral nutrition is where the patient is fed through a tube overnight, and can then eat regular meals throughout the day.
Foods and Beverages to Avoid on the Crohn's Disease Diet Plan
Certain foods and beverages will trigger the symptoms of Crohn's disease and prevent absorption of nutrients. WebMD.com reports that the following foods are best avoided when you have Crohn's disease:
- Alcohol
- Carbonated beverages
- Fried foods
- Coffee and tea
- Chocolate
- Foods that produce gas
- Fibrous foods
- Spicy foods
- Raw fruits and vegetables
- Red meat
- Pork
- Whole grains and bran
Set up a consultation with a family physician if you are experiencing severe symptoms of Crohn's disease or abdominal discomfort after eating. Your doctor and nutritionist will be able to create a customized diet and nutrition plan that will support your digestive system and improve your health.

Nikon launches AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm F3.5-5.6G ED VR superzoom lens
Nikon has launched the AF-S Nikkor 18-300mm F3.5-5.6G ED VR lens, a 16.7x superzoom for APS-C DSLRs. The 18-300mm offers the highest ever zoom ratio for a Nikon interchangeable lens, giving a 27-450mm equivalent range on one of the company's DX-format cameras. The lens is a much more complex design than the existing 18-200mm - utilizing 19 elements in 14 groups and, at 120mm long, is 23% longer. It features a 77mm filter thread and will be available from June 2012 at a price of around $999.
Press Release:
New Lenses for FX and DX-Format Photographers Include the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens, A High-Power Super Zoom Lens with Astounding 16.7X DX Zoom, and the AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lens, A Versatile Everyday Lens for FX Shooters
MELVILLE, N.Y. (June 14, 2012) – Today, Nikon Inc. announced the addition of two new lenses to the legendary NIKKOR lineup, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR and the AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lenses. The new 18-300mm VR lens is a versatile and compact 16.7X all-in-one super zoom DX-format lens, while the new 24-85mm VR lens is an ideal standard zoom for any FX-format photographer. These optics were designed to meet the needs of all types of photographers, from those looking to capture everything from family outings to elusive wildlife and stunning landscapes. The new 18-300mm and 24-85mm lenses deliver the performance and superior image quality that photographers of all levels have come to expect from NIKKOR lenses whether capturing still images or HD videos.
To capture stunningly sharp images with excellent clarity and color reproduction or HD video that exhibits sharp critical focus with a dramatic depth of field, the new 18-300mm VR and 24-85mm VR lenses will empower photographers with a variety of exclusive core NIKKOR technologies. Both lenses are equipped with Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) II image stabilization system which provides the equivalent of a shutter speed approximately four stops faster. The built-in Vibration Reduction will help photographers create blur-free images and video while shooting handheld and in challenging lighting conditions. Two focus modes, manual-priority autofocus (M/A) and manual focus (M), are easily selected in both lenses as well. When either lens is in manual-priority autofocus (M/A) mode, users will be able to instantly switch from autofocus to manual focus operation by simply rotating the focus ring, even during AF servo operation. Additionally, both lenses feature an internal focusing system, providing fast focus without changing the length of the lens while retaining working distance through the focus range, and Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) technology designed to deliver fast, accurate and quiet AF performance. The lenses also boast Nikon's Super Integrated Coating (SIC) which provides superb color reproduction, color consistency and reduced flaring.
"Whether a pro on assignment, a photo enthusiast or an indie cinematographer, all Nikon users appreciate and rely on the vast selection and reliability of NIKKOR lenses for all of their imaging needs," said Bo Kajiwara, director of marketing, Nikon Inc. "The new AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm VR and AF-S
NIKKOR 24-85mm VR lenses are fully optimized to capture stunning images and videos while meeting the growing needs of photographers of all levels around the world."
The NIKKOR 18-300mm VR Lens: Nikon's Longest Focal Range
Building on the popularity and versatility of Nikon's telephoto zoom lens lineup which includes both the NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 and 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 VR lenses, the new 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens is Nikon's longest focal range ever, with an astounding 16.7X ultrahigh-ratio zoom range. The DX-format 18-300mm VR lens is surprisingly compact, lightweight and covers a focal range from wide-angle 18mm to super-telephoto 300mm, equivalent to a focal length of 27mm to 450mm in FX/35mm format. At the 300mm focal length setting, the lens' large f/5.6 aperture enables photographers to shoot at faster shutter speeds with shallow depth-of-field. This new super telephoto zoom lens is ideal for taking stills when travelling and for all around general photography including landscapes, portraits and distant subjects. The 18-300mm lens is also excellent for recording HD video as it can be used for wide establishing shots, medium close-up shots and extreme telephoto sequences when the users want to separate the subject from the background.
The construction of the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens consists of 19 optical elements in 14 groups with three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements that effectively minimize chromatic aberration, even at the widest aperture settings, and three aspherical lens elements that virtually eliminate aberrations at wide aperture settings. The new lens also incorporates a nine rounded blade diaphragm to help achieve a natural looking dramatic separation between subject and background.
The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR also has a dedicated zoom lock switch which secures the lens barrel at its minimum length and will prevent the lens from sliding during transportation. Additionally, the 18-300mm VR lens is ideal for capturing close-ups with great detail, as it offers a 1.48 ft. minimum focusing distance at 300mm, as well as a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:3.2X.
The NIKKOR 24-85mm VR Lens: The Standard Zoom for FX Shooters
Ideal for photographers seeking an FX-format compatible standard zoom lens, the new AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lens delivers sharp, crisp and high-quality images and can be assigned as an everyday walkabout lens. Covering the frequently used focal-length range of 24mm to 85mm, this lens is a great companion for any FX-format shooter and is ideal for shooting stills of landscapes, architecture, head and shoulder portraits, candid shots or group shots. For HD video shooters, the 24-85mm VR lens is a natural choice when filming landscapes, large groups of people or when wide field establishing shots or medium close-ups are needed. The 24-85mm lens is a great everyday lens that is compact, lightweight and easy to carry on any photo assignment or family adventure.
In addition to the lens' built-in Vibration Reduction (VR) technology, the AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lens features Auto Tripod detection which recognizes when the camera is mounted on a tripod, even during HD video recording, to help deliver specialized VR correction. The lens construction of the 24-85mm VR lens consists of 16 optical elements in 11 groups with one Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element, three aspherical lens elements and a seven rounded blade diaphragm.

We will give it a rating once we have had some experience shooting with it.
However, if you want to see a physical comparison between the 18-200mm and the 18-300mm, then here it is:
Click on any of the images for a larger version.
Here are a few FirstUse pics under various conditions:
Might have been a mistake but the other reviews said it is 28-450 on a crop sensor. But this is a DX lens so they probably made that mistake. Insane focus by the way, perfect one lens for travelling, can't beat the range and capabilities.
Now will there be something like a 28-400 FX to replace the 28-300?
NR just posted some photos of the 18-300 and the 2nd photo is very interesting since it is showing the lens extended and upright, with no lens creep. boom!
I would have bought it in a heart beat only if it was 16mm...
Nikon why did you extended the telephoto side... it should have been wider angle.
just my thought.
I'm an enthusiast. I had the Tamron 18-270 and returned it in anticipation of Nikon's 18-300mm. My intended use is specific. I'm going on an African safari. I did a similar wildlife-based trip to Antarctica and was constantly changing lenses because wildlife was sometimes popping up far away and other times popping up just a few feet away. There was no way to anticipate it. While on a game drive in Africa's dusty environment, constantly changing lenses won't be a good idea. I'd rather capture an image with some defects rather than miss the shot altogether. I know this lense will be big and heavy and $1000 is not a trivial amount of money, but it works for my intended use. I feel I didn't just buy a Nikon DSLR but bought into their lense system. All things being equal, I'll give Nikon lenses more consideration than Tamron/Sigma lenses whenever possible. I'd like to reserve critical judgment of this 18-300mm until it actually comes out and we can see how it performs.
to GradyPhilpott and ScottnLaguna
a 18-300mm is a 18-300mm !
it doesn't depend of FX or DX, it's just mm !!
then the field of vue on DX and FX is different and use also.
you can't use it on FX without too much vigneting because designed as DX, and doesn't cover the full 24x36 sensor
the Field of view of a 18-300mm lens using a 1.5 crop sensor, wil be the same as a 27-450mm used on a FX camera.
you can use it on a FF camera, but needs cropping
that's all folks
Dear Nikon,
No more superzooms, hyperzooms or uberzooms until you cough up a few of the compact fast DX primes you promised when you introduced APS-C sensors. You can start with a true wide angle prime that mortals can afford. While not fast, a VR DX 400mm f/5.6 would be a nifty addition as well.
Yours sincerely,
Thinking of switching to a mirrorless system
"If is is a DX lens, then using it on a DX-format camera will give 18-300mm, ie no magnification."
Not true. The range is given in 35mm terms and the crop factor must be calculated to gain the proper figures.
It seems crazy, but that's the way it is.
I'm sure someone can explain it more clearly, but that's the fact.
Sorry. No. Focal length is focal length is focal length. It does not change from DX to FX to medium format to large format. The only thing that changes is the field of view.
I agree! WTF? the DX lens is 18-300 in DX! If it were a full frame lens, then this would be true. So in FX the lens would be like 10-210mm or something.
You can't use a DX lens on an FX camera because of vignetting (cutting the picture corners)
You can use DX lenses on Nikon FX cameras:
"On an FX-format camera with a DX lens mounted, the camera will automatically engage its built-in DX crop mode, thus recording an image only from the center section of the sensor."
Don't understand the following:
"The 18-300mm offers the highest ever zoom ratio for a Nikon interchangeable lens, giving a 27-450mm equivalent range on one of the company's DX-format cameras."
If is is a DX lens, then using it on a DX-format camera will give 18-300mm, ie no magnification.
Incorrect. It will be equivelent to 27-450mm whether it is a dx or fx on a 1.5 crop sensor camera. The downside of a dx lens is it will not utilize the entire sensor if you put it ona FX sensor camera such as a D700, or D800. It effectively crops the image. You can use a FX lens on a Crop sensor camera with no drawbacks. The smaller sensor will use the center area of the lens. This can be advantageous sometimes since the center of the lens is usually the sharpest area.
I have 3 Nikons, a D80, D300s, and a D800, and half a dozen lens's including a couple DX lens's. The 18-200 is one of them.
hi, im a noob at cameras, and i dont really understand what u meant by that jimguyphoto. soo if i were to use a d5000 with the lens, would it be equivalent to 18-300 or 27-450?
A noob in cameras hoping to learn more.
Hmm... a very interesting lens. The 77mm thread and especially the 9-ared aparture suggest this is being designed as at least a semi-pro lens, far more so than it's predecessor. If I can have superior IQ at longer lengths it may be the best in it's class, but then you have the price and more to the point that huge weight. At 810g, It'll be front heavy on anything smaller than a D7000 and I'm not sure I want to travel with something so weighty. Even the existing 18-200 is left at home by friends because of the weight, so even if this works out as the 'best quality' superzoom, it won't be the ideal one.
Something tells me Nikon has seen customers going for Tamron's 18-270, despite it being worse in some ways, so rather than compete in that price range, they decided to go the quality route, which looking at the design they may well succeed at. I'm looking forward to see how it does, but at the end of the day it's probably just too darned heavy to take around the world with me.
Only one month ago I bought my 18 - 200 VRII. I'm very pleased with that one. But if they had introduced this one only one month earlier, I would have waited for this one. The 18 - 200 makes very good pictures.
If Nikon's 18-300 has the same IQ as the 16-85, it will be excellent ( should be for $1000 ), but the Tamron 18-270 PZD is an absolutely superb value : excellent IQ, very efficient VR, min focus down to about 12 inches at 270mm, delightful bokeh, capable AF ( even at 270mm ).
Yes, it goes beyond f/5.6 to f/6.3 after about 100mm, but the light weight and compactness make the 18-270 an ideal one-lens travel or every-day solution, at a great price.
Nikon may find it tough to break into an already-existing market at this price, although I don't doubt that the quality will be there.
The Tamron will focus down to 1.61', or about 19". F6.3 imo is not a good thing. You will likey have to stop down to at least f8 to f10 to get best possible sharpness, since most every lens is not at its best wide open, and f6.3 would be wide open for that lens at telephoto. $1000 is really not a high price for a lens, although it is a lot of money.
Heres specs on the Tamron http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/581247-REG/Tamron_AFB003NII_700_18_270mm_f_3_5_6_3_Di_II_VC.html
I really love it! I'm going to buy this thing as soon as it is available!
Don't hurry up and size your camera.
If you have a DX camera, you can use lenses fit for DX or FX BUT if you have an FX camera (ie full frame 35mm-type sensor), you CAN'T use a DX lens as it will cut the corners of your picture. (vignetting).
You MUST also figure out that, if you use the lens at its full telephoto setting (firstname.lastname@example.com), you're nowhere in the ball park for most sports shots etc, unless in FULL sunlight or indoors with a very high ISO setting (ie "noise")
You WILL require either a tripod or monopod, even though the lens has vibration reduction.
IF you really want to equip yourself with a gadget, buy a "fast" lens, something in the f2.5 range. You'll quickly find that a prime lens of about 135mm is all that you need, as it will cover most situations.
Photogs figure that a 10mm to 600mm lens is the world reinvented but you'll also find that there are lots of flaws in there, in the mechanisnm, the weight or the optical system.
I have 40 years of pro experience
You can use DX lenses on Nikon FX cameras:
"On an FX-format camera with a DX lens mounted, the camera will automatically engage its built-in DX crop mode, thus recording an image only from the center section of the sensor."
why didn't they come up with something like a 16-200mm... 2mm more wide-angle. That was always the reason why I preferred taking my 16-85 instead of the 18-200... In the end I sold the 18-200...
I also have the 18-200mm and the Sigma 10-20mm. Love them both. 2mm more at the wide end sounds easy but I doubt that it is. In any case 16mm is no match for 10mm
I've been thinking this, after all compacts have started to go wider and with digital correction it would be a lot easier than doing optically, but as Mike says, it may currently be very hard to do. Still, its a move I've been expecting and surely in time they'll be competing on that spec.
Perhaps also the target market for superzooms aren't so aware of the benefits of 16mm and hearing of 50-100mm more on the long end sounds a lot more impressive than 2mm on the wide side, even if the latter can make the most differerence in real usage?
I've found that I shoot a lot of snapshots on the widest setting of my point & shoot (just because it turns on at that zoom setting), causing faces to look distorted. I wish there was a button to quickly zoom it to a 28mm equivalent or something you can choose. I guess I'll just have to get into the habit of zooming-in a little after I turn it on, but sometimes there's just no time.
Get a Canon S100. It let's you configure the focal lens when turned on, and besides of course is a great camera.
While I'm not a fan of superzooms in general, this will be a great choice for hot air ballooning.
Just checked... 810 grams ! not fun to walk around or go on a holiday in summer days with this lens.
Who needs IQ when you can capture your kids at your feet or across the theater with a simple twist. On a D3200 this will be an ideal family all around combo.
The center of the frame (where most family subjects will be) is likely to be good enough for 99% of the consumers buying it.
For me, if I can only take one lens in a light package (like when on a helicopter surrounded by troops) this could be ideal, compact and lots of range in a single package. One camera, one lens... we are getting closer to 14-400mm :P
Perfect ...then, lets rather go for the cheaper, lighter & smarter Tamron 18-270 .... save money for some ice cream for the kids..
The 18-200mm is a wonderful lens. And I mainly use primes. It has very decent Bokeh if zoomed in, and produces excellent sharp shots from F7. Perfect for daylight shots. Not speaking about Capture NX which will fix all distortion and CA automatically. Actually, I have made some tests to compare it to my 24mm 1.4G, 50mm 1.8G and 85mm 1.4G, and unless you pixel peep, there's no obvious difference at F8
Same for me FTH, i use a 18-200 and also a 80-200 F1.8D, and well, 80-200 sure win in IQ, a lot, and also a little in color rendition, also a little on buque... but not too much really, after some months using 80-200 switched back to 18-200 and hey! most of the bad things about 18-200 where my fault, and if you don't plan to peek too deep on pixles, 18-200 does a perfect work.
Not a pro, btw, just an enthusiast.
No, all lenses have their own purpose. Prime lenses will allow you to shoot in low light, but will not allow you to zoom-in and out to frame a specific shot. And yes, if you keep shooting at F8, a zoom lens can become most useful.
Tamron 18-270 3.5-6.3 (6.3!!!)
Nikon 18-300 3.5-5.6 (yes: 5.6!!! one third stop faster and 30 mm longer)
A lot do care about IQ which is why they purchased a DSLR ... But not to the extent that they feel they need to spend thousands on L class lenses like some do. Each to their own, but don't knock em ... And let's not exaggerate how poor the IQ on these lens (in relation to price and say 4/3rds) is ... It's still pretty good quality!
You have to own the 18-200mm lens to appreciate it. I've captured some terrific images with it, many of which would not have been possible if I'd not had a superzoom on the camera at the time. The 18-200mm has surprisingly good optical quality if you use optimal aperture and focal length when you need maximum resolution.
Do you know the image quality of an picture you were unable to shoot because your lens was not versatile enough?
It's really bad.
I might sell my 18-105 vr and 70-300to buy this lens. I doubt the quality will be notcible in anything below 16 X 20 prints. I lost many good photos because I did not have enough time to switch from my 70-300 vr to my 18-105 vr. This lens will be perfect for me. Nikon made the right move in making this lens. A lot of people are going to be happy with it.
I have a 18-200 used on my D300s. Its a ok general purpose lens, but its really not that sharp. I recently bought a Nikkor 24-70/2.8 for use on my D800..now that one is pretty darn sharp. I have a 70-300vr 4.5-5.6 and a 150-500 f5-6.3 for longer end, and a 12-24 for wide angle mainly on the D300s (=18-36 on the crop camera). If you are going to print large you need sharp. Super zooms such as the 18-200 or 18-300 are generally not that sharp.
just sold my 18-200 VRII... :D
Please compare it with the Canon EF 28-300L.
Wow, this is the longest DSLR superzoom ever made. Sigma and Tamron only made up to 270mm.
Nikon is a late comer to the superzoom scene (compares to Sigma and Tamron) but I guess with the price Nikon can charge they can afford better design and parts.
Not strictly - there was also Tamron's 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3. But, having used mine a fair bit (until the AF *and* VR died, a whole 18 months after purchase, and outside warranty), I wouldn't recommend seeking one out - quite soft at the long end, and prone to noticeable CA.
With three ED elements, I'd hope this is a superior performer.. !
A new DX lens, maybe D400 will be released!!
I believe the title of this message is wrong.
It should list 'DX' as is also listed in the NIKON description.
Oh, I can allready see it:
Ken Rockwell after 2 hours of using it:
"The Nikkor 18-300 is the best Nikon lense ever made."
Wait for it!
Come on Nikon, is it only $999 ?
$1000 for a lens aimed at travel photography? How about a Fujifilm X-S1 at $600 for more compact and lighter travel photography with a 24-624 mm equivalent zoom? After all, users of this will be looking for range, not optics.
My point is that all the corners Nikon will have to cut to get to such an extreme focal range means the focal range will be more important than the optical quality to them. And then a $1000 price tag for that aim. Just buy a long range compact camera? Optical quality will be priority in: neither of the cases. So you can just as well focus on travelling light and both your neck and credit card will be happier.
Nikon did their market research and saw a lot of the market passing on the 18-200 in favor of 18-270, but how many of the vacation photos will really be using 200-300 end? Unless optics are better than 18-200, which is unlikely, you can easily find a used 18-200 version 1 for half the price...and then do a little cropping if you need a bit more than 200mm
Big numbers sell.
Every one knows that no one really uses the big numbers.
But people like them.
For whatever reason, it's part of our psyche.
Maybe it's competitive. At both the buyer and manufacturer ends.
My lens is bigger/has more range than yours.
Let's face it most discerning buyers probbably won't buy it.
If they do, they'll probably only use the mid range, where if history is any indicator, the decent performance will be.
Undiscerning buys will buy it, thinking that the extra zoom will come in handy, and will probably never use it.
If they do use the long end, they won't be able to tell the difference.
Just big numbers so that Nikon can attract the 18-270 buyers from Tamron, which I suspect is fairly popular - I saw 3 among about 7 DSLRs at our last big family do.
I already use an 18-200mm VRII for documenting the activities of my club which restores old aircraft and all the attendant duties to that end. I'm not out to create art, only to document, but I find that I get excellent results in that setting with a super-zoom.
I will definitely be getting the 18-300mm, unless it turns out to be a real lemon, which I doubt.
The 18-200mm works well in our facility when I need to get close up shots without being in the way of the work, but there are times when some extra reach would really come in handy and a lens change is out of the question. I don't have the luxury of lens changes, when I'm capturing work in progress.
Weight is not such a problem, but the length of the lens might be in some situations, but then that's why I have a variety of lenses that I can use when I anticipate that I may be working in cramped quarters or doing some other type of shooting.
For those who think it's a stupid lens, I have a suggestion: Don't buy one!
Nobody here has more talent to take a pictures then this lens will be capable off to shoot, not even superb lenses. So, just thanks Nikon and be more friendly with prices next time :))) We are not a millionaires.
Yep, lost me too. Read over and over and am more confused lol
ESL - English as Second Language :)
Nikon must have done a research and found that DX shooters just want an even longer superzoom, not matter how big, heavy and expensive it will be.
I, however, hoped Nikon would offer a couple of small primes for the DX shooters such as 18mm, 24mm or 28mm or even wider ones. I don't think they will do that based on their marketing research.
Nikon probably looked at sales of the FX 28-300 and comments of people who wished for a little more wide.
Stupid decision... how come $1000 is affordable for DX users? And the IQ will be average just like the 18-200 or worse.
Right a $1000 for a versatile glass which can complement the 24MP Nikon D3200 DSLR.... the perfect mediocre combination! Nikon ....you can!
IMO these super zoom are ideal for travel when you don't want and/or can't take 3-5 lenses with you. I usually take a super zoom and a fast zoom when I fly and the superzoom stays on the camera 90% of the time.
Their size / weight make me dislike these lenses for travel. I once shared your opinion and bought Nikon's 18-200 mm superzoom lens. Never again. It's not that I'm weak or anything, haha, but once you fit a high quality m4/3 or a similar prosumer compact in your jacket without caring for it even being there, I don't think you'll easily go back.
Instead of this lens, I'd recommend a Fujifilm X-10 or X-S1 for almost half the price for travel.
I personally leave the areas compacts can't touch for DSLR's. Ultra-wide angle photography, wide-aperture fixed focal length photography, ... Superzooming is an area that I think compacts both can do, and excel at. The main problem besides the weight is to me that a superzoom reduces the optical benefits you'd otherwise get with a DSLR... So there's not as much point.
Why would you need 3-5 lenses? It's only replacing a 18-55 and 55-300 or 70-300 combo. And usually, these lenses end up weighing the same as the two separate zooms combined and almost as large as the telephoto alone. So all it saves you is the space of the 18-55 kit lens, which is not much at all.
And the 18-55 and 55-300 combo costs less than half what this does, too.
Massive! There will be a market for this, although I almost never use my 18-200 anymore, except in the studio when I want to zoom without changing lenses. This kinda makes the 55/70-300mm obsolete for the casual consumer.
Not me, getting the 16-85 and the 70-300 still makes a lot of sense, I doubt this thing will perform better than the 70-300 and it isn't wide enough for anyone into landscapes.
A 2 or more lens solution is a pain, but it still delivers the best image quality and I seriously doubt that will ever change.
2mm is quite a lot.
Nobody has made a superzoom lens with high quality output by now and I doubt Nikon is the first alchymist to turn lead into gold.
The only reason for producing such a lens is adressing the ultrazoom users: Look, we have what you want: all-in-one zoom, so you can now buy a DSLR! The real quality of pictures is not important (and for UZ users it will still be a great quality in comparison to what they are used to).
You forgot to add: for APS-C or FF
4/3 sensor actually has good superzoom.
Lots of even shorter zoom APS-C/FF lenses which struggle to have equal performance.
next year they'll probably make something even more stupid like 28-500mm
Lol Bjorn always there to defend Nikon to the wall. I could care less how much profit Nikon or any other brand makes, bottom line is if they make products that are ripoffs, are useless, or are targeted at ignorant people, I'm going to call them out. This is a stupid lens because there's already 18-200 and 28-300 and if you insist on only one lens then just get a bridge camera it's much more portable.
"stupid, ripoff, for ignorant people"..Looks like somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed.
I'm always surprised at how people can react to such announcements.
While I have the Nikon 2.8 trinity and love them to death, I've allready pre-ordered the this new lens to replace my 18-200.
For daytrips and travel where the bit extra sharpness or the 2.8 aren't that relevant of no paying customer, then such lenses are simply great for convenience and saves you about 3,5KG of extra weight not having to carry the 3 2.8 lenses around to cover the same range..
Over the last 6 years I've shot numerous amazing and very sharp images with the 18-200.And yes, the 3-5/ 5.6 has it's limitations, but screwing up with such lenses simply means an imcompetent user..
Comparing a D7K with a 18-200 or 18-300 to a superzoom compact is of course complete nonsense. Sure you save about 500grams, but the list of what you'd miss is too long to mention.
Such statements are much closer to ignorance I'd say..;)
"you also save about $1700. Using a single lens with low optical quality on an interchangeable lens camera is defeating the purpose."
Low optical quality is nonsense of course, trolling remarks. But then what exactly is "the" purpose? Let me guess, could "the purpose" be always getting the most optimal IQ for that one specific image? haha, yep... And I assume you allways travel to each assigment and non-payed trip with multiple camera's (like a D4 for the high fps shots and a D800 for the high res shots and all the best primes...)... yeah, I didn't think so...
I don't know if you have used a DSLR before, but if you are used to the handling of a DSLR, then going back to a compact superzoom is no option.
And if you allready have a dslr and need a convenient and good iq solution for traveling then it's a 18-2xx zoom or a compact superzoom... Even apart from the better iq of a dslr, the handling alone saves me enough irritation that I am happy to pay that extra money..
I always thought Tamron would be the first to do this, I wonder if this is made by Tamron under contract?
If they could ever make one of these with decent IQ it would be amazing but I don't see that ever happening, it would be nice to be proven wrong though!
Canon, where is EFS new lenses? Only one pathetic fixed EFS lens? Nikon has been churning out nice lenses and all Canon came up with is a pancake with whatever not even ultrasonic ring motor? sad.
Did you forget about the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM released at the same time as the "pathetic" fixed lens? I am doubting you are a Canon shooter, just a Canon hater... especially since STM apparently is even quieter than USM...
The 18-300 DX is exactly the lens which is not needed. They should have made a 16-70/2.8VR DX instead. It would have been a much better travel lens, as well as a very useful all purpose "normal" zoom. What's the point of making yet another consumer superzoom?
Consumer superzooms for consumer DX cameras so there is a massive market for this. DX cameras are rarely a professional's choice.....
