Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II: The D40X's 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes. the d40 and d80 are about equal in low-light, with the 40 maybe being a smidgen better. in this case, the VR on the 18-200 would make a difference, since instead of 1/100 with the 18-135, you could shoot at 1/30 with the 18-200 other otherwise equal conditions. so another check in the d40/18-200 column for the OP. btw, high iso is also good for

Das Objektiv wurde an einer Nikon D 3200 getestet. Ich habe eine Alternative zu meinen anderen Einsteiger Objektiven (Nikon 18-55 (3.5-5.6), 55-200 (4-5.6)) gesucht, um mir das Wechseln zu ersparen. Im Vergleich mit diesen beiden Objektiven ist das Tamron für meinen Anwendungen besser, resp. gleich gut.
