    Product Description

    New ultra-high ratio zoom lens AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II for use expressly with Nikon DX-format digital-SLR cameras. 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. The addition of a zoom lock switch allows photographers to secure the lens barrel at its minimum length, eliminating the natural gravitational effect that can draw the barrel downward during transport.

The Vibration Reduction system (VR II) provides camera shake compensation equivalent to increases in shutter speed by four steps.

    24 customers mention0 positive24 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the shadow produced by the lens. They mention that it is terrible at low-light photos, not optically superior, and will have a shadow from the length of the barrel. The pictures are not as sharp as other prime lenses, and it is not the best for close ups or portrait work. It lacks in dark situations, and produces blurry areas in photos.

    Great flexability in a small package
    4 Stars
    Great flexability in a small package
    My 18-200mm VRII lens works very well and takes some very nice pictures. My copy is nice and sharp at 200mm unlike what some others have reported, so there seems to be sample variation here that you should be aware of. My copy seems reasonably sharp through it's range, getting a little softer at the 135mm range but getting sharper again by 200mm.This lens will not take pictures as sharp as lenses like the 50mm 1.8D or 35mm 1.8G etc.The versatility of this lens is great and you don't need to change lenses all the time. The lens is small but does have some weight to it so be aware of this is all you've ever owned was a kit lens.The downside to this lens it that it does "creep" if pointed straight up or down. Also, the zoom ring is a bit stiff and hard to turn if you are going "against gravity". Meaning, if you point it slightly upward and zoom out to 200mm it is clearly fighting you the whole time. If you keep the lens pointed slightly up and zoom back to 18mm, the zoom ring turns with ease. Just something to take note of. So if I see something I want to photograph at some distance and the camera is already pointed downward, I zoom out to 200mm and then point it upward. It seems to take some stress of the innards of the lens as well as making it easier to zoom.This is a great lens to get with the current $250 off promotion by Nikon! But if I were to spend full retail on this lens, I think I would save up for a pro/faster lens instead. But if you are looking for a one lens solution and mainly shoot outdoors and indoors with a flash then this lens is for you!
