The Nikon AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II is the ultimate “all-in-one” solution for DX-format shooters. Covering an expansive 11x zoom range—from a wide-angle 27mm to a powerful 300mm telephoto equivalent—this lens is designed to handle everything from vast landscapes to distant wildlife without ever needing a lens change. Its compact profile and advanced stabilization make it a favorite for travel and everyday photography.
Versatile “All-In-One” Optics
Expansive 18-200mm Range: Designed specifically for Nikon F-mount DX cameras, this lens provides the flexibility of a bag full of primes in a single, portable unit.
Advanced Glass Configuration: Features three aspherical elements to virtually eliminate distortion and two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements to greatly reduce color fringing. These work together to deliver high sharpness and color accuracy across the entire zoom range.
Super Integrated Coating: Individual elements are treated with Nikon’s specialized coating to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting, ensuring high contrast even when shooting in bright, backlit conditions.
Stability & Precision Performance
VR II (Vibration Reduction): Built-in image stabilization compensates for up to 3.5 stops of camera shake. This allows for significantly sharper handheld shooting, especially when zoomed in to the telephoto end or working in low-light environments.
Silent Wave Motor (SWM): Experience fast, quiet, and precise autofocus. The SWM system also supports full-time manual focus override, letting you make fine adjustments instantly without switching out of autofocus mode.
Internal Focusing (IF): The lens maintains its physical length during focusing, which promotes faster AF speeds and allows for easier use of specialized filters like circular polarizers.
Handling & Condition Report
Please note the following regarding this specific unit:
Optics: This lens currently contains a significant amount of internal dust. While this is common in high-ratio “super-zooms” and often has minimal impact on image quality at wider apertures, it may be visible when shooting at narrow apertures (higher f-stops) or in direct sunlight.
Build Quality: Despite the internal dust, the lens features a robust build with a rounded seven-blade diaphragm, which produces a pleasing, natural quality in the out-of-focus areas of your images.
