    Absolutely not. It should be the same as the 18-135mm. You have to pay for speed. Look for a used 17-55mm f/2.8 or get the 35mm f/1.8 instead.

    You can't expect to NOT GET noise (grain) at ISO 400 or higher (!) in low light . Especially in a "half decade ago's" DSLR .

    Keeping sharpness/vivid/contrast levels to a minimum in picture settings can help though ...

    Your problem is the D200, not very good in low light, the newer cameras like the D7000 will allow you to push the ISO and get good pictures in low light, even with the lens that you have.
    However, the advise posted to get faster lens will also be a cure for your low light ills,
    so the questio is, do you spend the money on a new camera that will do so much more than you D200, or do you spend it on the lens..........?
    hmmmmmmmm this will start a war for sure

    Not much discussion there ... The faster lens will give you only an extra fstop worth of ISO at the cost of 1.5 D7000s and you will still have the 5 yr old technology. A new D7000 should be able to give more than a stop ISO advantage over the D200 .

    I think that's a conservative claim, Paperman. It's probably more than a stop in a pixel-for-pixel comparison (meaning a 100% crop from each sensor), and then the D7000 has the advantage of having more of those pixels. I agree with the sentiment, though.
