I am would like to buy a lense for sports photography I have a Nikon D200 any suggestions? That depends entirely on what range you need. The 17-55mm f/2.8 is brilliant up close and a great walk around lens ($1200). The 70-200mm f/2.8 is fantastic for most other stuff ($1600) If you need more reach than 200mm (effectively 300mm on a D200), add a 1.4 tele-converter, or get one of Nikon's ludicrously expensive long lenses - they have a great 200-400mm and several primes. short wide angle lens B&H photo video store in New York has what you need. If they don't have it, then its not available! I agree with OMG. It depends on how close you will be able to get. I own and love both lens he mentions. If you can buy both, go for it. The 17-55 is a pretty fast lens and great for indoor work. The 18-200 has VR, though, which might "buy" you the low light level that you need without going all the way to f/2.8 for $1,200. If you want to buy ONE lens, get the 18-200 VR zoom, if you can find it anywhere. Here's the description at B&H: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controll...
