I am impressed!
I shoot nature, birds, animals and landscapes. I used to shoot commercially, people, events, a lot of things. Now, I only shoot what I want.
I'm a recent convert to digital. Most of my history involves film, in Nikons, Hasselblads and a whole range of other film cameras. I spent a number of years away from this passion, but I'm back!
About 3 years ago, I purchased a little P80 for a trip. It worked well, but wasn't up to the expectations that I have for cameras. Last December I purchased a P100. I was very happy with that camera. I still use it, but when the P500 came out, I got one. I've worked that camera hard and kind of fell in love with the capabilities of a camera that almost fits in a pocket. But, I needed better for some websites that my wife and I are developing. So, we went for a D7000 and one lens. That is all the budget we have for a while. The lens chosen is the 18-200 VRII and I've now run about 400 shots with the combo.
Both my wife and I have again fallen in love! I'm going to have to fight to keep my hands on the D7000. The lens makes this camera ready for almost anything and is proving to be very fast focussing, sharp as a tack and light enough to carry all day. The images produced while testing this outfit have satisfied both of us beyond expectation. I would like more reach than we currently have, but I think there may be an 80-400 in our future. I was looking at price points for other lens manufacturers, but after a week with the 18-200 I've resolved that there is no need to look beyond Nikkor lenses. They may cost a bit more than something from an aftermarket maker, but there is a harmony that seems to run with a full Nikon outfit. Yes, I still have other maker's lenses in my bag, but they will be replaced with Nikkor as the budget allows. We're taking our websites to a commercial level and we're receiving very nice comments from people around the world. Our websites are image based and we like to offer the best that we can. The next few weeks will hold some tough subjects and I am confident that we can do justice to them with just the one lens. I never thought that I'd be able to say that, but even a shot that needs to be heavily cropped will stand up to high standards. The lens has an amazing range and it is providing fantastic images of whatever I've pointed it at. We're also compiling a microstock site and have no hesitation to recommend both the D7000 and the 18-200 VRII for serious photography.

Great lens
This lens is a great lens if you are looking for a DSLR and don't want to have to keep changing lenses and risk missing a shot. Wonderful!
June 24, 2011
super one-lens solution almost all the time
The 18-200 has lived up to and surpassed my expectations. The images are crisp and nicely saturated, the focusing on my D5100 is incredibly quick and accurate, and silent! The VR feature really does work as described. I rarely use a tripod, and I have yet to be bothered by camera shake,even at 200mm. Sometime in the future I may add a very fast Nikkor lens, or a very wide zoom, but for now this lens does it all for me.
June 19, 2011
Excellent
Should you want an all around lens attached to your camera, this is the one!
June 16, 2011
Undecided
I purchased the AFS DX 18-200mm ED VRII to pair with my D5000 in May of 2010. I found that the lens is good for use during daytime photography under good lighting. Using the crop factor of my camera sensor I get an equivalent 27mm to 300mm. Using the attached camera flash with the lens causes dark spots along the edges. Auto focus for medium to still moving objects are good. I had to send the lens in for repair because it stop auto focus at full length. Awaiting return of lens. Nice clear pics and wide focal length.
June 13, 2011
Great multipurpose lens!
This is the only lens that I take on vacation with me, it is wonderful!
June 8, 2011
Nice overall lens if you are taking one lens
This lens covers most of the range that you could use on a trip. Distortion was minimal and easily corrected in Lightroom. It is fast enough to capture good quality images and with the VRII it does well in low light situations. It is heavier that I would have liked but then it is only one lense. It can lock in the 18mm postition so that when it is being carried the zoom does not extend out. I would really like to be able to lock it in different focal lengths as well - such as 35, 50 and 85 but we can't have evereything.
June 3, 2011
Incredible lens !!!
Incredible lens with fantastic range...If there is a "one size fits all" lens, this is it. Its versatility is well worth the price. I'm still blown away with this lens and the D7000.
May 30, 2011
Great Lens
Purchased this lens as an add on to my 18mm-55mm lens.This lens takes better pictures all around. Great Lens for the price.
May 30, 2011
Excellent lens for one-stop/shop application.
I have taken this lens as my only lens for my D60 on numerous trips to SEAsia, India, Australia, New Zealand and Italy. I don't think there is a better single lens to have when traveling. It has adequate zoom and range to cover 95+% of my needs and works well in low to modest light allowing for great photos inside museums with no flash. I have just purchased a D7000 and the first photos were stunning. I do recommend this lens to friends and thank my buddy Dan for letting me try his.
May 26, 2011
The 18-200mm is my go to lens. It covers a great range. I shoot a lot of group settings. This lens allows you to get right in for the close up, without have to be next to the subject. It's great for capturing lots of activity!
May 26, 2011
Terrific multi-purpose lens!
I got this lens as I didn't want to swap lenses while on vacation and travelling. I did that on my old setup and it drove me nuts. This lens I find works fantastic is most situations when lighting is good. The only time I have had issue is when lighting is bad and flash is not an option for whatever reason.
If I could change 2 things (without compromising quality) would be to make it lighter and not have the lens roll-out to full zoom on it's own when slung over my shoulder.
But if you want a great all-purpose lens this one is a dream in my opinion.
May 26, 2011
Best all-in-one zoom lens
There are many alternative all-in-one zoom lens in the market. But the Nikon 18-200 VR II is the absolute winner and the best all-in-one zoom lens in the world. No other competitors can catch the 18-200 VR II in terms of image quality and sharpness. If I had only one lens, this would be the one.
May 25, 2011
Ignore the negative reviewers.
I had to say that in the title. Wanna know why? It's because there is no other lens with these features at this price. A Nikon glass, with VR II, DX format sure, but with zoom range from 28-300 equivalent in this compact size at this price range? The Tamrons and Sigmas may have similar types, but they're not Nikon glass, know what I mean? The VR absolutely trumps the others. This is the perfect all around lens for the DX format, and you can't go wrong. From a nice wide angle to a really decent zoom option, it'll give you plenty of options to do all around photography.
May 25, 2011
Great lens, learned about it from Costco Kit
If you wnat a versatile lens, this is the one. You do not carry a lot of lens in your bag. Just this one does the enitre job.
May 24, 2011
Very Versatile Lens
This is a do-almost-everything lens. I rarely change it for a more purpose-built lens, such as a macro or super wide angle. It does exhibit barrel and pincushion distortions at wide and telephoto settings, respectively, though, and the lens is very soft at the 135mm setting, which is a very useful length. I try to shoot only at F11 at that setting if I can. The distortions are easily corrected using Len Corrections in editing programs. It also works well with a short extension tube for near-macro shots.
May 23, 2011
THIS LENS IS THE GREATEST LENSE I HAVE!
I love the lense, sure it is slow on some settings but if you know how to photograph it is great! You and your camera can adjust to the shot, if you can't no lense will work for you!
May 20, 2011
This is a great alround lens
I love this lens because it allows me to take all kinds of shots easily without having to carry multiple lenses. I got it before leaving on an Asian vacation. I didn't want to carry a ton of lenses
"to get the perfect shot" of a once in a lifetime trip. This lens allowed me to take scenic,portrait,candid and sunset shots all with one lens. I wasn't wasting time changing lenses and missing the shot.
I cannot recommend it enough !!!!!
May 6, 2011
Dissapointed
Bought the lens for use with my D90, thought it would be a perfect all around lens, but have become very disenchanted with it. First I find that the lens does not work great with auto focus and also is very, very poor with low light. Not talking about poor light just low light. I spent a fair amount of time on a trip recently in a rain forest during the day, very difficult for the camera to respond during those trips.
Also there is an audible clicking noise that seems to take a second or two shooting with VR on, when it engages. The clicking is distinct enough to make me think the lens has problems. Warranty does not seem to cover this. Wish I had bought a different lens, or not bought this one at all. Additionally, images appear sharper with VR turned off than on, overall the images do not seem as sharp to me with this lens.
Again, dissapointed.
May 2, 2011
Excellent stability and focus and resolution
This lens has enabled me to utilize my D200 with much better focus and stability than my 300mm without the stability feature, allowing me to enlarge with greater quality than the larger and heavier lens.
May 1, 2011
Its on OK lens
It is an ideal one-lens solution but its has problems.
The lens creep so the lens position does not hold.
I may go with another lens the next time
April 30, 2011
Very nice all round lens
I really like this lens,
If I was to pick just one lens for travel this would be it. the optical quality is good for the cost, the range of zoom is very impressive.
The only thing is that there is a bit of distortion at 200mm right in the corners of the pic, but a light crop job take care of that.
It focuses pretty close as well, I have taken some really nice pic of insects that are 50% of a full frame before cropping.
April 27, 2011
Great all-around lens
Perfect lens for those just getting into photography. It allows for wide angle shots as well as moderate zoomed in shots. Having this flexibility in a single lens means no need to swap lenses, therefore preventing dust from entering the camera in addition to less weight to carry around. The VR works very well and is quick to kick in. Bokeh is nice and blurry.
April 27, 2011
Great walking-around lens
Perfect? No, not quite. I would like it to be faster, if the magicians at Nikon could make it f2.8 through the zoom range, that would be nice, but keep the price under US$1,000. I know, that's a fantasy, and perhaps one that may come true someday. In the mean time, this lens is truly amazing for the price range. The only problem that I have found with it is that I have become reluctant to take it off the camera body. It is a general purpose workhorse. Sharp enough, fast enough, light enough - overall a great set of compromises on the part of the magicians at Nikon.
April 27, 2011
This is an excellent carry around lens
I got this lens with my new D7000 camera in time for our Disney vacation. I took advantage of the $250 discount they were offering when I bought the camera. It is an excellent lens that takes good portriat and landscape pics. The VRII keeps me from having to carry around a mono-pod on zoom pics and it's light enough to carry all day long. Shooting video with the camera, the lens stayed in focus as I moved the camera around. I am very satisfied with this purchase and it has become my new carry everywhere lens.
April 26, 2011
Excellent quality
I do a significant amount of travel and photography and it is great to have to only take one lense. The versatility of the 18-200 Nikkor lense was the main reason for my purchase.
April 25, 2011
Nikkor 18-200 VR II 3.5 5.6
I have used this lens for a couple of month now. I am very pleased in the handling of the lens. The lens is very light, which is of a great advantage when shooting outdoor. The AF is fast very quiet and also seems to be very accurate. On another hand, the light indices are poor and somehow limited (contrast is too brutal). The definition of the lens is limited when zooming at 200 powers. The distortion of the lens bordure is acceptable when using the lens from 18 to 30 and become much better after these ranges. The protector front cat is tricky to place, especially when the lens is equipped with a filter. Overall, the lens is a very good adds for any amateur that which to reduce the number of lenses that he/she carry.
April 24, 2011
a decent lens for all purpose shooting
i bought this lens a couple years ago. the first one i got totally died within 2 weeks. total electronic failure. it was replaced and have used this lens a fair amount since then. its not super sharp, but sharp enough for the vast majority of work you will use it for. it has taken a fair amount of abuse and still kept on working. a very useful focal range to have in the camera bag. would be nice if it was a stop or so faster though. makes it less useful in low light situations as it is.
April 24, 2011
Simplicity, but...
When puchasing my Nikon D90, I evaluated the options and came down to either buying 3 lenses for $1200+ dollars (for the ideal shots) or choosing a single lens and making some sacrifices, namely weight & performance. The lens was the right choice for my family since they can take the camera and get great shots without having to think about the lens.
Two reasons for giving this three stars:
1) I use a filters frequently because of indoor fluorescent lighting. When at the maximum zoom, I get rounding of the image corners because the filter ring is being picked up.
2) I had a problem with the lens that kept producing memory card errors. I spent 4 weeks bouncing between Nikon and the dealer as they pointed the finger at each other on who was responsible versus fixing the problem. Of course this happened between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
A friend referred me to a local authorized Nikon repair dealer. In under 2 minutes, this individual identified the issue as dirty contacts. Thirty minutes later, the lens was working and I have had no issues since. I wish that little detail would have been in the Nikon Tech database somewhere.
April 21, 2011
It is OK if you don't mind the sloppy zoom.......
The premise of the lens is great. A travelers delight, moderate wide to moderate tele. In practice it should be shipped with a lifetime supply of duct tape or a warning beeper to let you know when the camera is not level and pointing down or up. If the lens is not fully zoomed to the widest the barrel will slip to the extreme on the other end when aimed down on a subject. Most inconvenient if you wanted to bracket long exposures without holding on to the lens......

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.Apr 16, 2011 by

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.Hurbee 04/16/11
Answer:
Absolutely not. I have has terrible problems with this lens even in the driest conditions. I would certainly not recommend this lens in wet weather. It will fail on you as it is extremely cheaply made.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.Apr 15, 2011 by

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:
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.Apr 14, 2011 by

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..Jun 1, 2011 by

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

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.Jun 1, 2011 by
