A dependable and versatile workhorse
This is my travel lens, and I travel a lot! It has proven durable and reliable, and the images are stunning. I haven't noticed any lens creep at all. The VR gives me the option of hand-holding to reasonably slow shutter speeds (or upping the ISO a bit - I shoot on both a D2X and my newer D7000). The 1080p HD video shot with this lens also looks great!
All in all I'm very happy with this product and totally recommend this lens, particularly if you need a versatile workhorse while on the road. Even though the range is very good, I'm thinking of getting the 10-24 to give me a bit more wide angle and provide a two-lens complete kit.

Shockingly Durable
I have used this lens for years - since the D2X - never had a problem with creep - especially when comparing it to my old creepy Leica 90 mm - If it wasn't so heavy, I'd put it on and never need to change lens. I gave away my old 18-200 and just bought a new one. After taking it out of the box and going upstairs, I dropped it and watch it bounce down 2 flights of stairs. I had no expectations that I would remain alive and well. However it is working perfectly since the accident. Just one more anecdote that will keep me loyal to Nikon Forever.

lens creep on the 18-200 mm lens (VR I)
I hate this creep (!). It is difficult to take pictures aiming the camera up or down. I checked the technical support and was told that there is nothing I can do about it. I am getting rid of this lens. Does the VR II creep similarly? Perhaps I should go to another lens manufacturer.

Shadows / Falloff /Vignetting/ in corners of Viewfinder when zoomed past 100 with 18-200 VR DX? Is this normal?
I notice when I shoot a bright background with this lens and zoom from about 100-200 mm - a ciruclar shadow starts at the corners and works it's way towards the center of the picture. "The corners of my photo get shadowed" when I zoom in.
Is this normal for this lens? - there are no filters or hoods on the lens.

Answer:
This lens does display some fall-off in the corners at 100mm and longer at f stops wider then about f/8. At f/8 and smaller, it should disappear. I don't find the problem too severe and I find that the lens is sharpest around f/8 anyway. I don't see a problem at f/8, f/11 etc. I am assuming that you are using a DX camera.Jun 1, 2012 by

Is this lens compatible with the D3200 and the D5100? Also does it still allow the auto focus feature when shooting video?
I use this lens on my D5000 and when I take video, it does not focus automatically. I was considering upgrading to the D3200 or the D5100 due to the auto focus feature available when shooting video. I just needed to know if all compatible lenses are able to carry out the auto focus feature? The product info mentions the standard 18-55 lens is able to carry out the auto focus feature. But what about other lenses? Such as the 18-200 or the 55-200? Is the camera still going to be able to auto focus with any lens or this feature is only available on the 18-55.
