Really , how can we answer that . Only I would know if I wanted to give a lens away . I’ll,be curious about the comments.

Use both of them for a while before you decide. One might not be in as good condition as the other. Assuming they're both in good shape, I would keep the 18-200mm. I used one for years, and it took good pictures and covered a good range.

I still own the 18-200, it is my travel lens in the car on my D500.

Of course you stick up for men everywhere and tell your wife to, pack up and move out.

18-200, get rid of the 55-200, overlap is waste.
Sometimes longer zoom range forces designer into more {bad} compromises. At one time I had an 18-270mm lens, but after some experience I went back to the two-lens solution that it replaced. In this case, I would still want more experience with the two lenses before making a decision.

Or, since I appreciate my wife, I bought her a used camera body and gave her some of the lenses that I no longer use. She was delighted and my problem was solved. Plus she can also borrow any of mine periodically.
Best of both worlds!

I will gladly take the 18-200 off your hands

Stay in the mood - go buy a second body so you can use both, don't forget a bigger bag and a new tripod so you can carry all that stuff around. Don't stop there - you need polarizers for both and a couple of flashes. Have a ball - think of all the credit card points you will get!

You keep the better lens. If you want to give the 55-200 away I would be glad to have it and put it on my D5200 for my Son.
