I managed to go get my mailbox key on the way home from work, so I was able to get my package.
I did indeed get the 17-55mm lens...and WOW. I got a great deal on it...several hundred dollars off for a lens that for all appearances is brand new. It even came with the full nikon box, all accessories and manuals, even the little bag that Nikon ships with every lens that virtually no one ever uses.
Its going to be interesting getting used to it, since even though its got a shorter focal length than the 18-200, it actually weighs more. Virtue of being an F/2.8 across the whole sweep instead of an F/3.5-F/5.6 on the 18 200. I need to take it out and test it out soon...like really soon, since the wedding I used as the excuse to buy it is on Saturday.
