Dimensions (DxL) Approx. 3.0 x 3.8" (7.62 x 9.65 cm).A number of unique Nikon technologies have been developed for, and applied to, including a high zoom magnification of 11.1x, a Vibration Reduction (VR II) image stabilization system that provides camera shake compensation equivalent to increases in shutter speed by four stops, and a Silent Wave Motor (SWM), as well as a zoom lock switch. Designed expressly for use with Nikon digital-SLR cameras, exceptional image performance is assured. As the compact AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II covers an extremely wide range of focal lengths (18-200mm, equivalent to 27-300mm in 35mm format; a zoom magnification of 11.1x), it offers excellent versatility for various scenes that include portraits and landscapes.

I have had the lens for a few weeks now, and have shot both indoor and outdoor (I am using the lens with the new Nikon D7000), and have been startlingly pleased with the results. The D7000 tends to overexpose in outside shots, but that's not the fault of this lens, which really does a good job of handling its whole range from 18 to 200 mm with little lens flare, overall good sharpness, and just generally good image quality. It's not going to outperform a prime lens, but I might have to assume that anyone even investigating a zoom lens like this one understands the optical compromises which must be made in order to produce a lens like this. Having said that, with some finessing and the right technique, you can churn out some pretty impressive shots with this lens, both indoors and out (the aperture maxes at f/3.5, but if you are using one of the more modern cameras, this limitation can be somewhat overcome by increasing ISO, something the D7000 does admirably). The lens is a tad on the heavy side, but nothing like the constant f/2.8 units that are on the market: this one you can carry around all day, that is, once you get used to it's reasonable weight. Constructional quality seems good (my unit was manufactured in Thailand), including a solid feel during zoom and manual focus operation. Auto-focus is acceptably fast (although we still have the sluggish live view focusing performance, even on a camera like the D7000) and acceptably quiet. The unit has switches for vibration reduction (on/off), manual/auto focus, lens lock, and also auto focus aggressiveness (normal or active). The lens is supplied with both a front and a rear plastic cap, as well as a soft fabric bag for when you are not using the lens.
Not using the lens? Most people who look into a lens like this will probably attach it to the camera, and leave it there for the vast majority of the time. As I say, you can quibble over a few items, but many of these are addressed with simple software adjustments (sharpness, barrel distortion, etc.), and so I can't say that the average photographer should worry about these too much. My own shooting has been quite good so far, and after my initial few weeks of field testing, I would have little hesitation recommending this lens to the enthusiast and/or lay photographer who just wants to take photos and learn the craft a bit more. There is an important place for prime lenses, tilt-and-shift lenses, and even fish-eyes, but for the general Nikon enthusiast, this is one of the great lenses to have come out in recent memory. Five stars, especially when you consider the price.
Needless to say, this "capability gap" could not continue, and I have since purchased a second 18-200 VRII for my wife's camera. If I had to be picky about anything, it would be the zoom creep. Both the 18-105 and my first 18-200 would creep if not retracted to 18mm. Yes, there is a zoom lock on the 18-200 VRII, but I rarely use it, as setting the lens to 18mm while walking around solves the problem. The second 18-200 does not creep at all, but may loosen up with time. We'll see. To me, this is in no way a deal breaker, but I felt I should mention it, since so many others have been critical of the creep. All I can say is, retract to 18mm and it will stay there. It's just not something you have to worry about. Image quality is so close to that of even my prime lenses as to be amazing for all that moving glass and machinery! Most distortions and CA's are taken care of in software, so are pretty much a non-issue. I use Photoshop, and Nikon Capture NX2, the latter being my preference in the ease-of-use department, and it understands the characteristics of the lens and camera. I even do a certain amount of pixel-peeping, and have never felt that the 18-200VR was lacking in any way. When I have a bad picture, it is the fault of the photographer, not the equipment.
The pros:
Focus is fast and accurate, even in poor light.
Zoom range covers everything most folks will ever need.
Image quality is fine throughout the zoom range.
Compact for it's range.
Is an absolute delight to use.
The cons:
Your sample may or may not creep, but so what?
Though it's compact for this type of lens, it is still a lot to hang on the front of a D-40 or D-60. I asked my wife if she'd prefer a lighter lens. Not a chance!
Conclusion:
Would I buy another one? I already did!

Reviewed in India on February 25, 2022
I thought the great price was due to black Friday and I knew that Amazon.com is an authorised Nikon dealer, so I assumed Amazon SG would be an authorised dealer too, although I didn't see Amazon SG in the list of authorised dealers on Nikon Singapore's web site.
What I received was a lens with a US serial number with US warranty card. I checked with Amazon support to see whether it is normal and whether it would be eligible for warranty. I was told by the support person that it would be eligible for warranty and I should check with Nikon Singapore if I have any issue. Well, I didn't have any issue but I decided to check with Nikon US and Singapore. As expected, Nikon US straight forward refused to give any proper answer and asked me to check with Nikon Singapore as I am not a US resident. Nikon SG later responded me that they were checking with Amazon SG. After a few days, Amazon SG reached out to me with an apology that the lens I received is ineligible for warranty in Singapore as it was imported for US market but sold in Singapore. I was offered for a refund if I returned the item. So it is all fair for me.
Later, I decided to keep the lens, as the price I paid was what I would have to pay if I purchased it second hand from Carousel. So purchasing a new lens with Amazon return policy at a price of a second hand is still a great deal for me and the lens I received was a perfect copy. It would be a pity returning this just because of lack of warranty.
However, one thing that is a bit wrong here is that, Amazon SG is selling gray market item first hand and without stating it on the item's page clearly. This is quite unexpected for me. I recommended support to include "no warranty in Singapore" or something similar in the title of the product or its description. My recommendation was simply ignored. For support, not having any warranty statement on the item page is sufficient but I still think that this should be clearly stated so that people will know what they are buying. This can prevent further support tickets and returned items. The price of this item is dynamically changing daily, sometimes it is without a discount, same price as what you would pay if you were to buy this from an authorised dealer. So if I paid that much, I would definitely return it and here a nice product would end up as a renewed item on Amazon.
Dudaba entre este y el 18 300 pero creo que he acertado principalmente por la luminosidad.
El aspecto es de una buena construcción también.
El servicio de Amazon excelente como siempre.
