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.

This 11.1x super-zoom lens for Nikon DX format SLRs costs around ￡590, sports silent internal focusing and Vibration Reduction II, which promises to allow hand-held shots to be taken at shutters speeds up to four stops slower than would be possible otherwise.

I received excellent support as I needed specifics on delivery times and on co-ordinating it with an overseas trip. Smifu gave me a way that enabled me to have a lens that complemented what I currently had while waiting for the new lens which only missed arriving in time by a few hours.

It's complete package. Fantastic Fstop great focal length range. It's just perfect. I have tried 55-300 even though the Fstop is not that great as this lense it produces fantastic images. Saving to buy one.

This item is great, the first version was a great sharp lens, but the zoom creep was really annoying, but no more with version two which has the zoom lock. A  great addition to the flagship of great optical range all-in-one lens for DSLR.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

All in one lens; Easy To Use; Improves Picture Quality

A little heavy

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Easily Interchangeable

Heavy

This is another of the NIKON 'G' lenses that are manufactured without an aperture ring for use on Ni

Inexpensive, contrasty, user friendly lens; A bargain at this price point

Some barrel distortion; plastic lens mount

While I hope to create a full Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR II Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site.

The AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR II is a minor redesign of a previous lens. It features a new zoom mechanism for reducing zoom creep (the lens slides forward when tilted).

You want an all-in-one lens with good build quality; You'd like effective image stabilisation; You'd like a lens that requires no readjustment when you fit polarisers and graduated filters.
