Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G VR IF-ED Lens

The Bottom Line: A good snapshot lens, but not recommended for more thoughtful photography. The zoom range and the VR are nice; but, considering design limitations, it is priced too high.

Review: I love VR, I like the versatility of zoom lenses, and needed a wide angle; so, this lens looked like a dream lens. However, after four months, several outings, and experiences with this lens, I find it is not a lens for everyone. Two design features...

The Bottom Line: This lens sets a new standard for super-zooms. The sharpness and vibration technology make it worth the extra money when compared to super zoom lenses by Tamron and Sigma.

Review: As Digital SLRs come down in price, more of them are in the hands of amateurs who don't want to carry around a bag of lenses. Thus the popularity of Nikon's first "super zoom" with built-in vibration reduction technology. For those who can afford...

The Bottom Line: I strongly recommend this lens if you're able and willing to shell out a chunk of change.

Review: I purchased this lens in late summer of 2007 and am thrilled with it! While it was a big hit in my pocketbook, I purchased this along with my second Nikon D40x body. I wanted to have a lens I could leave on a camera all the time, and the zoom...

Review: Took it to Mexico, and it did the job. Not a pro lens, but walk around. Worth the money. Would buy it again. I use it with Nikon D300. If you can use it at f11. The sharpest apature. Sharpest images between: 80mm-130mm. Took weddign pictures, and...

The Bottom Line: TRY SEVERAL BEFORE YOU BUY! I'm sure there are much better examples of this lens out there, based on good reviews and feedback. Test it on architecture especially at 18,35,135.

Review: As stated in the previous review distortion on this lens can be extremely noticeable, and in my case horrific. Also the softness at 35mm is almost unusable even stopped down - but again, this is only on MY lens.

Having spent a lot of time...

Review: Anyone Can Use This Lense For Anything. It Zooms In Very Far. Its Works Great To Take Pictures Of Moose.

The Bottom Line: This lens sets a new standard for super-zooms. The sharpness and vibration technology make it worth the extra money when compared to super zoom lenses by Tamron and Sigma.

Review: As Digital SLRs come down in price, more of them are in the hands of amateurs who don't want to carry around a bag of lenses. Thus the popularity of Nikon's first "super zoom" with built-in vibration reduction technology. For those who can afford...

The Bottom Line: Great lens. Worth the price for not having to swap lenses.

Review: After getting the D40 over a year ago, my original plan was to get the 55-200mm to compliment the 18-55mm kit lens. But when I found the 18-200mm VR for a bit over $600, I couldn't pass it up...especially since Circuit City and Best Buy both had it...

The Bottom Line: Superb optics and good range in a size that's just right

Review: I was expecting compromises with this lens (after all, what zoom is ever as good a prime, right?) but I've never been more pleased with the quality of my pictures or the compactness of my DSLR setup.

I was turned off initially by the high...

The Bottom Line: Its huge and useful zoom range, consistent and very good optical performance throughout that range, amazing close-up ability, fairly decent build and handling characteristics make this a good value.
