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

Absolutely the best accompaniment to a lightweight DSLR. Haven't used either of my other two lenses since this arrived. Sharp images with very little distortion or aberation across the whole range.

Though I am very happy with the product, I am not happy with the customer service. When I placed the order I was told that the product is in stock and and also I got the free 2 day shipping deal. The very next day, I got notification saying that it is out of stock.

Easy To Use; Improves Picture Quality

Little heavy for me

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.

I have a number of full frame Nikon lenses to go with my D800E and 6 DX lenses for my D7100 or my D5500. Of these lenses, I would pick 3 to at the top of my list of superb glass, and one of those would be the 18-200 DX.

Great Zoom range and no sacrifice in quality of images, even when looked at under high magnification; Especially if you wish to choose just one lens, this would be my pick

Slightly more weight; but not a deal breaker in anyway

Nikon's new AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–200mm f/3.5–5.6G ED VR II lens (27–300mm 35mm equivalent) is an updated version of their popular 18–200mm lens that covers a significant 11.1x focal-length range and probably most of a photographer's shooting needs.

Compact; wide coverage; effective Vibration Reduction

Lens creep; distortion

I think this is a good option if your not a fan of swapping, changing and carrying a bunch of different lenses. An all in one solution that covers you for a wide variety of photographic subjects. This lens performs best in bright conditions.

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.

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.

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.
