Easy to shoot but poor results I photograph Graduating Seniors and this lens in NOT sharp. It does not meet my standards, I sold it. July 30, 2010
great one lens solution but don't bend over :) We have been very happy with this lens. The only downside is that it does not stay in place when you let the camera angle go vertical. The lens zooms out very quickly and will hit whatever is in its way. Be very careful. I thought Nikon had discontinued this lens because of this issue, Its easy to make a very expensive mistake. July 30, 2010
Enjoying the experience with my new lens Have taken thousands of photos with the 18-200 really have enjoyed it and am well pleased. Have not done much out door and landscape yet but looking forward to that experience and expecting the same type results. Using the lens on Nikon D90. Wonderful combination, and now don't have to change lens often, oh happy day! July 30, 2010
The one lens to have If you only had one lens, this is the one to have. I have 5 others but this gets used the most. Pair it with the DX 10-24 and you've got an excellent compact travel kit. It's not perfect, with some pincusion distortion at wide angle, but not that objectionable unless you are doing critical architecural photography. It's also not super fast, but the VR helps. A true jack-of-all-trades. July 30, 2010
great all-around lens The zoom range is so wide that this lens can serve as an all-purpose lens. It is very light and easy to use. The only caveats are that it is rather slow, making it difficult to limit depth of field when shallow depth is desired, and it has significant barrel distortion when shooting very close at the widest settings. Fortunately, Photoshop CS5's Camera Raw can largely correct this. I like the lens so much that I have never removed it from my D200. July 30, 2010
Good daily lens to keep on body For the most part working with this lens has been great. It has a very good range that causes one to simply leave it on the camera (in my case a D90) and just shoot away. The only downside to the lens seems to be that it now already "creeps"; i.e., when shooting something below you, the telephoto slowly extends, something that makes shooting from high points very frustrating. As the lens is only 8 months old, I am thinking of returning it for repair. July 30, 2010
Great all around lens. I was torn between buying the 50-200mm lens to compliment the 18-55mm lens which came with the camera, or the 18-200mm. I decided on the 18-200 as I now do not have to change between two lenses when i want close-ups. It is a great lens for a great Nikon camera. Takes excellent photos, though poor in low light and a little pricey for a standard zoom. July 30, 2010
The Ultimate Single-Lens Solution Everyone raves about this lens and for good reason. It is the ultimate single-lens solution. If you can only carry one lens and you need to cover a wide range of subjects, having a 35mm eq. of 27 to 300 in one lens is just amazing. However, there are two reasons why I don't give the lens 5 stars. First, my version (original) of the lens creeps. This makes using a neck strap difficult because with just modest bouncing the lens extends. When fully extended, it is unwieldy. Where I used to have this lens on the camera by default, now I pull it out only when I need the reach. I am told there is less creep with the newest version and, of course, there is a lock. Second, I think the open end of the f-stop range is misleading. By the time the lens is zoomed to 35-45mm, the smallest f-stop is nearly 4.5. This is not uncommon among long zooms but it does mean relying on VR to buy f-stops in the low-middle portion of the range. Having used this lens extensively, I think my style of shooting will be better served with the great f1.8 35mm "normal" lens plus the excellent 55-200mm VR lens for the reach when I need it. 90% of my shooting is in the normal range anyway. This two-lens combo is much cheaper than the single 18-200, something to consider. I have really enjoyed using the 18-200 and have no problem recommending it, subject to my caveats. July 30, 2010
Excellent lens I have been using this lens for last four months. excellent. love the VRII feature. I am using it on a D70 and can't believe how good my pictures have become on the same camera body. July 30, 2010
best one zoom travel lens well...don't expect this to be a sharp lens at 200mm and f/3.5...but i really enjoy it when I can only carry one lens with me....price is a bit high... July 30, 2010
An excellent lens overall. I purchased the 18-200 with a D300S body and the combination is great. The lens produces very sharp images across most of the focal range. On the D300S, the lens focuses almost instantantiously. I have used the lens for travel - to Peru and Spain and it has consistently produced excellent results. It feels very comfortable on the D300S - provides a nice balance for a relatively heavy camera. I would highly recommend this lens. July 30, 2010
Great lens I've owned this lens for over two years and use it on a Nikon D200 body.I've used this for thousands of images and find it to be the perfect lens for my photography. It offers sharp, clear photos and is compact, relatively light weight and rugged. The 18-200mm balances nicely on the D200 and is comfortable to carry. One problem I have is the rubber zoom ring on my two lens have come loose and after time will come off the lens. July 30, 2010
Absolutely love this lens for it's versatility! I bought the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR 11 lens along with my D80 Nikon DSLR specifically for taking cruise and adventure travel pictures. The best part is not having to change lenses all the time and worrying about getting dust and salt spray inside the camera body. I get lots of comments on it from onlookers who can't believe how easy it is to use and the range. The one thing I still haven't figured out, is how to adjust and overcome that the lens is overly sensitive to reflections from bright sunlight, a clear blue sky, asphalt on the road, etc. I always get the overexposure warning and the image ends up washed out in most of my pics. I have tried adjusting the white balance and other setting, without any luck. I always have to make adjustments to the pics with software afterwards, but with little luck due to the overexposure and lack of detail as a result. I am thinking it is just user error based on settings I am using. I wish I knew a resource to help me overcome this minor inconvenience. Otherwise the lens is perfect for all my travel and hobby pics around the house. It is without a doubt worth the extra $$ invested. I recommend it to anyone looking for one lens that can capture just about any great moment with relative ease. July 30, 2010
A great lens This is one of the most versatile Nikkor lenses. It's a thing of beauty. The 18-200 range is common for my shooting style. Now I can do it without a lens change. The VR feature is like buying added fstop when shooting telephoto in low light. July 30, 2010
If you lucky... Unfortunately my copy of the lens performed worse than 18-135 Nikkor that I previously owned. For the open aperture for almost all focal distances it is sharp only about 1/2 of the image - in the center and get quickly out of focus toward the edges. I send for repair right after 1-st week of use - they did inspection cleaning and found nothing wrong - I suspect they even did not open the lens - but after that lens performed normally for a month - than this started again - I care of lens and did not drop or so - so I am suggested never buy this type of product online - you can be surprised - better go in shop and selected and tested with you own methods. I am unhappy with my purchase overall. I used it with D80. July 30, 2010
Great features at a reasonable cost. I really like this lens. It's fast enough to catch my grandchildren but slow enough to catch a bird at one of my feeders in the back yard. I really like the "anti-shake" feature offered by this lens since as I get older (57) my hands are less steady than they used to be. This was the primary reason I got rid of my old 35 mm. slr's and went with a Nikon D5000 with the VR feature in the lens. This lens even is improved upon thus the VRII rating. You won't be sorry once you go with this lens. July 30, 2010
Nikkor 18-200 VR II In my D300 this lens is quite versatile with its wide range, However I found that it is not as sharp as my previous 18-200 VR and I was quite disappointed with the lens lock in that it locked in only one position. I cannot understand why Nikon cannot produce this lens without the creep, my 70-300 VR never creeps. Overall I would not recommend this new18-200 because of the lens creep problem. It also has the problem of the lens hood easily falling off when slightly bumped. My 70-300 does not. July 30, 2010
Awesome results I have had this lens about 18 mos. & it has given me excellent results. The pictures are so sharp they look like they are coming off the paper. I use it for sports; my grandchildren play football, basketball, baseball & tennis and it's great for motion shots. I am not an expert by any means but I am more than pleased with this product. July 30, 2010
Lens creeps out. Good photos within full zoom range. Lens creeps out on it's own when left hanging on strap. Not especailly good for low light. July 30, 2010
Great Traveling Lens This lens is always with me on business trips. I never know whether the shot needs to be wide angle or telephoto and this 18-200 covers 80% of my shots (construction & building photos). I also pack my 1.4 50mm to cover low light interior shots. These two are a great pair. July 30, 2010
First-rate Lens! I'm a professional photographer and instructor. Whenever a student is considering a Nikon camera, I recommend this lens as the best all-purpose lens Nikon makes, especially if the person can only afford one. I've enlarged images to 36 inches and found the sharpness impressive, especially when the lens is used from wide angle to medium telephoto. I seldom use it at longer ranges and suspect it may lack a little sharpness fully extended, but then again, if you suddenly need to have that telephoto capacity, it's there. Highly recommended. July 30, 2010
Great Mulyi-Purpose Lens I have used this lens for over a year on my D-90. For travel photography its verstility is just amazing. The fast focus and sharpness makes for a very pleasurable travel album. This holds true while shooting from a moving vehicle as well. I also shoot wildlife and landscapes. When I crank up the ISO to 650+ and increase shutter speeds to 1000 sec, this lense will not only stop a bird in flight, it provides amazing clearity. I print 8.5" X 11" and I am impressed with the detail of colors and feathers. So are others that have seen my work. It's the only lens that I use now and in combination with the D-90, it is like the perfect combination for my work. By using a tripod or just stabelizing with my elbows I have also made some spectacular night scenes. Truly a super lens to have fun and exciting pictures. July 29, 2010
Excellent one lens solution for travel photography I've owned this lens for over a year and use it on a Nikon D90 body. I haven't run tests with other lenses, that is for more talented people to do. However, I've used this for thousands of images and find it to be the perfect lens for travel photography. It offers sharp, clear photos and is compact, relatively light weight and rugged. The 18-200mm balances nicely on the d90 and is comfortable to carry around all day. On the D90 it is comparable to a 35 mm 27-300mm lens providing great range and versatility. I've supplemented it's close-up range with a 72mm 500D close-up lens from another manufacturer (Nikon doesn't seem to be making close-up lenses anymore). July 17, 2010

Answer: 
I highly recommend that you do not use the camera in the rain unless you use some kind of protection. A light shower won't get into the lens or camera but it is not waterproof. When I feel compelled to take photos in the rain I cut a hole in a large baggie and protect the camera. Overall I find my rainy day photos are pretty awful anyway what with rain drops on the lens filter so I avoid using my Nikon in the rain.

Answer: 
As a great fan of this lens, I recommend it highly and have used it in light rainy situations, BUT I try to protect it, in such situations, by placing a piece of "Saran Wrap" over the lens barrel. Camera bodies and lenses were not built to withstand heavy and/or sustained downpours.

Answer: 
I've used it in dusty and rainy conditions without any ill effects. I wouldn't use it if it's pouring really hard, however. It's always good to carry your camera in a "holster" or some kind of protective containment so you can put it away if you get caught in a rainstorm.

Answer: 
No it is not! Do not use it in very dusty environments. It's OK in rain provided you keep it dry or at least wipe the rain off before zooming it to the 18mm end. I got dust in my old version in the Sahara but then the sand there is so fine it gets into everything. It didn't cause any problems though with image quality so not much got in. If you are shooting in the rain then the biggest problem is keeping the lens raindrop free. Try using a lens hood as a rain shield and a plastic bag over the lens itself will keep the lens dry. It really isn't a problem. I use my D90 in the rain fairly often but not heavy rain because you can't keep the lens dry. An umbrella helps a lot in the rain.

BTW the D7000 is a wonderful camera.

Answer: 
it is no more weather sealed than any other lens. You might try one of those camera lens raincoats by manufacturers like Think Tank or others, or buy a small fold-up umbrella, and put the handle in your shirt's front top pocket.

Answer: 
Because the lens barrel changes in length when zooming/focussing, the lens body acts as a pump, drawing in and expelling air and I presume moisture. I would therefore look for a lens with internal zoom/focus, or use some sort of rain protection (or underwater housing) to keep water at bay.

Answer: 
Wide angle lenses are best for capturing large amounts of areas. This comes at a small sacrifice of not having as much detail when you enlarge the photo. If your looking for a portrait lens, being head and shoulders, purchase a prime lens such as the 60mm 2.8G ED lens. It's very reasonably priced and will exceed your expectations..

Answer: 
If you want to get autofocus get the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G

If you don't care in manual focus and want the BEST portrait lens ever done in any time and in any brand go and get AF DC-NIKKOR 135mm f/2D

But viewing the high price of the commented lens from above and considering you have a D3100 I think your best choice is AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED a FANTASTIC portrait lens.

Answer: 
I own an 18-200 VR II and need to ask some questions to help you in your decision process...

- Are you going to primarily do portraits or do you need a lens that does great portraits and supports other types of photography as well (e.g., action, sports, wild life)?

- Is weight a consideration? Are you OK with a 1+ lb lens or do you need something that is lighter or convenient for traveling?

- How far away will you be shooting these portraits and is that distance consistent?

- What other lenses do you own?

I have bought this lens 2 weeks ago for my D80. (the new Generation ED II VRII (with the 18 lock switch).
With the VR ON: Besides the Autofocus motor sound, there is a much louder Clicking sound (when moving the camera and the shutter half pressed), 3 times louder than the autofocus sound.
With the VR OFF, no clicking sound.
I suspect the VR motors (engaging/disengaging), but is it normally that loud? this is my first VR lens
Thanks

Answer: 
I have this lens and it creeps like crazy. If I point it toward the ground, it creeps from minimum length to 200mm in less than 2 seconds. The lens is less than a year old and in the shop to fix.

Answer: 
I dont have much problem with this even when I am shooting objects at my feet. You can lock the zoom at 18mm. This is a new feature with the 18-200 II.

Answer: 
I wouldn't recommend tele-converters (extenders) due to them interfering with the designed engineering. If you need a longer focal length, grab another lens. Nikon does sell a Tele-Converter but its not that far priced from a much better solution of a longer focal length.

I wouldn't recommend tele-converters (extenders) due to them interfering with the designed engineering. If you need a longer focal length, grab another lens. Nikon does sell a Tele-Converter but its not that far priced from a much better solution of a longer focal length like the 70-300mm VR AF-S lens.
