If you want one lens for 90% of your shots, this is it. Sharp, solidly made, an excellent range without being too extreme & Nikon's fantastic VR. Well worth the money.

Quick Focus; Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

I bought this lens to replace the kit 18-55mm lens. My hopes for this lens were that it would be relatively compact and light and that it would outperform the kit lens as far as contrast and of course much better zoom. It meets most of my expectations.

By far I have taken the most pictures (Thousands) with this lens. It is my go to when on vacation. I like this lens so much I kept it when I bought my D800. As you may be aware the D800 is excellent at showing you any inconsistencies or mistakes in your equipment or skills.

I went with the higher end lens for convenience and quality. It works just fine. I am a newb to DSLR and such so take my input with a grain of salt. I have no complaint and works well. Everyone else talks highly about it as well. Get a good Sigma UV lens to protect it too!

Very well build lens, used best in a weatherproofed body. But with this lense you are making compromises in every aspect, from the image quality to the portability. Because of the size of the lens, the camera is bigger and heavier, so i used it rarely. The Image quality is good but not great. I...

This is an amazing lens. Sure there are some distortion issues with an all in one lens, but for a walk around lens its just perfect. Used in conjunction with a SB-700 and took great pictures of my sons school function. Also found it very versatile at a photography course.

In this review we will have a look at how the VR II version of the lens performs on our current DX test camera, the Nikon D7000. The build quality is good, but clearly lower than professional grade Nikkor lenses.

I changed my 18-105 lense into this one. It's an ideal lense to shoot different things without changing the lense. The size and weight are just ok for D7000, while the 18-300 lense is extremely big, heavy and expensive. Now I only use this one and the 35 1.8G to shoot almost everything.

It's small, fun, flexible, sharp and fast. VR, instant auto/manual focus override and macro and zooming all work perfectly. This lens is too much fun! It has an almost all-encompassing zoom range.The 18-200mm VR works perfectly on every Nikon digital SLR camera
