Awful I have owned two of these lenses and they both broke within months of purchase. almost immediately the autofocus system failed and I had to use them in manual focus mode all of the time. this lens is terrible. Both lenses eventually were destroyed just by using the zoom. In one case the inner glass elements all came loose and the lens failed. The second lens will no longer zoom to it's full length, and when it does it is out of focus. I have been a Nikon customer for years and this is by far the most cheaply made, least durable lens I have ever owned. You are wasting lots of money buying this lens. It will fail on you, Please take my word for it. Buy something else. April 15, 2011
great all purpose lens this is the most versitle lens that I have ever owned. I have been a Nikon owner for over 40 years and a nikon digital SLR owner for the last 8. After years of carrying 2-3 lenses as a minimum, I find myself as a one lens user. I have to admit, I will, on occasion use an old macro lens for kicks. This lens is sharp, easy to carry and operates quickly. April 15, 2011
Slower then I thought it would be Got this lens after upgrading to the D7000, unlike my old kit 18-55, this unit has a smoother feel and instantly focus even in dim lighting. When zoomed in and pointed upward the barrel will slowly zoom out. If you happen to be pointing downward expect the barrel to extend out at a much quicker rate. The barrel lock is nice, but I wish you could just twist into and out of the lock setting. For indoor natural light shooting, you'll find yourself using a high iso to get a 1/125 shutter, luckily this is not a challenge for the D7000. If I could afford it I would buy a faster lens, but for the price it does good job. In outdoor lighting it kicks butt, allowing me to quickly track and focus on moving subjects without having to wait on the lens. In fast pace shooting this allows for capturing a lot more moments that would have been lost when compared to a kit lens. Speaking of focusing, the entire mechanism is very quiet, without the grinding or whirring sound of the old kit lens. I certainly would recommend this to anyone looking for a lens that covers a wide focal range with minimal distorting and some really good glass. If you plan on shooting in dim light you might be better off with a faster lens, but for its price range it is a very good all purpose lens. April 15, 2011
Convenient but lacks isolation. The zoom range makes this lens extremely convenient for photojournalism, street photography, etc. You really needn't carry any other lenses. But it's slow: f3.5-5.6 really don't bring in enough light and so it's harder to eliminate noise and blur because of camera movement (more so at f5.6, obviously). Also, because these maximum apertures are still relatively small (compared to f2.8 through the whole range, or f1.4), you get too much depth-of-field and so can't blur the background enough to really isolate the subject. My next camera and lens combinations will explore the D3s with the 70-200mm and the 24-70mm, both offering a maximum aperture of f2.8 all the way. (But that will mean carrying two lenses instead of one, both larger and heavier---not to mention the D3s, which is larger and heavier too. But there's always tradeoffs; there's no such thing as a free lunch!) April 15, 2011
The "Go-To" Lens If I had to choose ONE lens to have on my camera, if I could only afford ONE lens ... this would be it. It is perfect for almost every situation, and on a DX it is the greatest travel lens ever. I loaned mine to my daughter for her D3100 ... I haven't got it back she loves it as much as I do! April 14, 2011
The one lens you need I did my homework. This is the 'one lens solution'. Could use a macro sometimes but this does everything else. Fast to use and coupled with the D90 covers all kinds of lighting situations. April 14, 2011
Smooth and easy to use Yet another Nikkor lense that is responsive, easy to use, and has fantastic clarity. Without a doubt, a lense that should be part of your arsenal. April 14, 2011
An ideal lens for travel I only carry one lens now for travel. I kept finding my 18-105mm was not quite long enough and my 70-300mm was not quite wide enough. Now I have it all in one lens. I've found the wide rubber bands used on produce when put around the barrel of the lens will keep it from creeping when held vertically. April 14, 2011
This has become my lens of choice 95% of time I had 5 other lenses before I bought the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18 - 200mm f/3.5 - 5.6G ED VR II lens. Now I rarely use any of the others. This is used with my D90 and is a perfect combination. I get by without a tripod most of the time (with the VR II). Recently while in AZ, I was able to get pictures of eagles that were barely visible to my naked eye. What a Joy! April 14, 2011
always on my d90 once i put this lens on my d90, it hardly ever leaves except for very special shots... April 14, 2011
Lens has a problem losing tension Lens has a problem losing tension and drooping. When pointed down the barrel rolls out. Otherwise it has a great zoom range that allows carrying one lense. April 14, 2011
Outstanding Quality Love this lens... I use it for all around everything just about... Do not go anywhere without it... April 14, 2011
All Around Lenses This is a great Lenses, long zooming and fast focusing. Just bring one lenses and its fits all.. April 14, 2011
Lens is great, but somewhat fragle I love the lens, but I had to get it repaired twice. It works great April 14, 2011
Great lens I love this lens. It does everything I want to do without having to change lens'. April 14, 2011
Great for casual photography This lens has mixed reviews around the web, but used for what it is, it is a truly great lens. I have taken many, many pictures of landscapes and portraits and I am happy with all of them. . Granted, nice prime lenses will produce beautiful shots, but they do not come close to the versatility of this lens. I've found it to be incredible for instantly picking people out of larger groups for candid shots - like at a wedding or family gathering. This is something you simply cannot do with a specialised prime. Likewise, lenses that fit somewhere in the middle of the 18-200's zoom range will require a lot of moving around to get good shots. With the 18-200 you can pretty-much stay in a fixed position and quickly take pictures both close and far away. . Likewise for walking around spots like a tourist destination, you can quickly lock onto any point of interest and get the shot. Some shooting opportunities don't hang around for you to position your shot, so having this zoom provides a far greater range of unplanned shots that add well to your collection. April 14, 2011
great all around zoom This lens appears to be a really good combination for a walk around lens. It works especially well for most shooting situations. I have tried the macro and it gives pretty good results. All in all, this should be the kit lens on cameras such as the D7000, or even a D300. superb lens. April 14, 2011
The only lens you really need for your D7000. This is a product you must try yourself you see how good it really is. April 14, 2011
Have this on as D90. Do not believe it is as clean clear or sharp as my 18-135 lens on my D80 April 14, 2011
I use this lens as my all in one go-to solution for landscape and wildlife images that i use for illustration reference. It's proven to be rugged and easy to use while providing good sharp images. April 14, 2011
A lens of great versatility Many claim that one lens can do it all, but few succeed. This Nikon is the exception. April 14, 2011
Good lens for the price. Good lens for the price. Wanted one lens for traveling. As one gets older, one does not want to carry many lens. Just shot over 2500 pictures. Unfortunately the lens is a little slow at times. Still worth the $$s. April 14, 2011
Very Versitile - Good for Traveling This lens has a great range. It takes clean crisp photos, in most light conditions. It is ideal for travelling - no need to carry 5 different lenses if you looking for a good all round zoom option. Big disadvantage is the lens creep. April 14, 2011
All in one lens If I could have only one lens choice it would be this lens! From wide to long, excellent all in one lens, especially for walking around and wanting to be light in carrying things. I remember nearly 30 years ago in Asia carrying a bag with 7 primes, weight was 35 pounds! This lens would replace all of those but one a macro. As a general all purpose lens this is it. Two drawbacks though: f3.5-5.6 variable aperture, I'd prefer a fixed f4. The VR helps to make this up but... It does have some barrel distortion at least in the first version, which is the one I have. April 14, 2011
over all a good lens this lens has a good range for everyday shooting. close-ups are also very good. the biggest problem is drift. the zoom is very loose so when you have the lens pointed down it moves on it's own i had this problem "fixed" but it still drifts. other than that it does well April 14, 2011
Solid go-to lens This is a terrific all around, go-to lens. It is on my camera most of the time. Great optics, terrific zoom range, vibration reduction, the works. Why not five stars? Simple. It comes down to two issues. One is vignetting if you are using a filter and zoom it out to 18mm. Using an ultra-thin filter nearly eliminates the problem. The other reason is depth of field capability. Because it is a fairly compact and reasonably priced piece of glass it lacks that wide open aperature that can give you a really shallow depth of field. All that said, I love this lens. April 14, 2011
Excellent all around lens I use this lens with my D90 about 85% of the time. I would like it to be faster (such as an f 3.5 all through the zoom) but the cost would be to great. On vacation, this lens just about does it all. April 14, 2011
Good all round lense You can handle most of the situations with this single lense. Some distortion at upper and lower limits. April 14, 2011
An excellent do-it-all lens! The 18-200mm VRII is a great lens with a wide range zoom that replaces a bunch of separate lenses. Pluses: Very wide zoom range Low geometric distortion High build quality A great lens to keep on your camera Inexpensive for its performance. Minuses: A little larger and heavier that the standard lens. Make sure that you get a case that can handle it. Shadows show taking closeup flash photos but can be avoided by using bounce flash. All in all a great purchase! Rob April 14, 2011
loose and unsharp The zoom is too loose. It makes the lense zoom in when pointed downwards. The sharpness could shurely be improved. April 14, 2011

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

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.
