just love this lens
Have had this lens for approx 3 years and it is without a doubt the best all around lens I have ever used. I have been a NIKON man for 40 years and this lens really fullfills the bill as a great lens...it is ideal for just about anything you want to shoot except for some sporting events when you need a longer telephoto. I RARELY take it off my camera to use another lens
April 14, 2011
Great all in one lens
Wanted one lens to keep things simple that had a fairly decent wide angle to zoom range. Although not a hard core enthusiast, I am very happy with this lens after 3-4 years of use now...have not felt the need to buy another wide angle or zoom to supplement this 18-200. Matches up to my D90 very nicely!
April 14, 2011
"Lens Creep" sours me on this lens
I saved and scrimped to get this lens. It pretty well met my expectations EXCEPT that the zoom would extend when shooting upwards and retract when going the other way. This precluded the use of this lens on a tripod or remote operation. The utility was destroyed. My contact with Nikon resulted in my being told that this "is normal" and in no way is it a warranty item. I cannot comment further without resorting to profanity. I feel that Nikon has broken faith with the photographic community by releasing such a design flawed product. It is the last Nikon lens I will buy or possibly even accept as a gift!
April 14, 2011
Flimsy lens barrel
Nikon has always produced excellent and robust cameras and lenses. Not so with this 18 - 200mm VR lens. Although the action is smooth and the optics pretty good, once zoomed out to 200mm the barrel is quite sloppy, moving a few mm from side to side. When the camera is held pointing downwards, the sloppy lens barrel will allow the zoom action to move towards 200mm by itself. The VR mechanism also seems suspect as both a friend and myself have had to have the VR mechanism replaced.
April 14, 2011
Great lens for the serious amateur!
Love the lens! Spent too much time switching back and forth with my other lenses. Now I can do all my work with one, convenient lens. I'm sure that there are other Nikon lenses that might be of better quality for sports etc. but this is the best lens for the average serious amateur.
April 14, 2011
puny product
Lens was not very sharp when new. Soon developed a "failure to focus" when zoomed past about 80mm. Sent it in to Nikon for warranty repair. It stayed fixed at the normal mediocre level for another year and then dropped back into the "failure to focus when zoomed" mode.
By now it is out of warranty and I conclude I don't like the lens well enough to try for another fix.
April 14, 2011
A lot of desireable features in a small package !
The Nikkor 18-200 VRll is my work horse lens.
It is mounted on my D300 and is my favourite lens unless I'm doing macro or long telephoto.
It does have one annoying drawback...
When pointed down it "creeps" at a rapid pace.
You must use one hand to hold the lens at the distance setting you select.
April 14, 2011
Good lens, but design flaws
Pros - I find the lens VG in color, contrast and sharpness. Quick focus in AF mode.
Cons - Lens "zoom creep" is unacceptable for a Nikon product. When carrying the lens on shoulder or pointed downward, the zoom creeps outward to longer focal length, due to weight of glass. Very annoying and uncomfortable, A cam to prevent the zoom creep should be given consideration by engineers.
The supplied petal sun shade has a weak twist locking configuration, causing the shade to easily disengage from the lens, especially when under run-and gun shooting.
Built in flash not high enough when shooting at minimum focal length, causing image cutoff.
Other than that, the lens performs very well. I'd recommend this lens with the above caveats.
April 14, 2011
Good all around lens
Good all around lens if you're only going to carry one around.
April 14, 2011
I've used this lens since they came out and it is a great all around lens! It is a little heavy but I'm ok with it.
April 14, 2011
Outstanding zoom optics
The lens is great with one annoying matter. When held or carried in a downward slant, the lens slides to readily. Other zooms are built to restrain such movement while still providing easy manual zooming. It is especially problematic on tripod mounted shooting where an angle is required (closeup of objects or scenes that need an angle of view).
April 14, 2011
wish it was better
unfortunately, i cannot recommend this particular Nikon Lens. it is not sharp, and mine has been in repair 4 times now for various reasons.
love all of my other Nikon Lenses but this one, misses the boat.
April 14, 2011
Love/hate
Love the versatility and performance of the lens. Truly, this lens will do it all. Hate that the lens extends automatically when it's pointed down. It just slides out, making the camera unwieldy, and losing the last zoom position. This is a known defect that Nikon has apparently not corrected. A shame. Because, otherwise, this is a great lens.
April 14, 2011
No need to change lenses again
With the range and VR, have all I need to shoot landscape, portraits, sports, close-ups and night scenes. So nice to attach to the D90 and forget about having to find the right lens for the right situation.
Clear, sharp, fast and with great color.
April 14, 2011
Perfect all around lens
I have my 18 -200 mm on my D300 as my everyday lens. I use it for evidence photography of everything from entire buildings to small items. This lens gives me sharp clear images every shot. The zoom allows me to shoot items of interest without climbing up on a ladder, or changing to another lens. I have other lenses but I very rarely use them because this lens does it all.
April 14, 2011
Great everyday lens
I bought this as my full time lens on a D7000 instead of buying the kit lens. Excellent results across the entire zoom range, with and without flash. I'm really happy I got this lens.
April 14, 2011
Fantastically versatile with expected limitations
This is a fantastically versatile lens, perfect for travel. It goes from a very useful moderate wide-angle (27mm eqv) to a nice telephoto (300mm eqv).
The Vibration Reduction system is very useful; it really does extend usable shutter speed by a couple of f-stops.
Unsurprisingly, the lens has a certain amount of geometrical distortion, but it is well-corrected by software like DxO.
The one big complaint I have about this lens is that it seems to suck lots of dust into interior lens surfaces.
April 14, 2011
Excellent and highly versatile product. Good price considering the high level of quality.
April 14, 2011
Fabulous Lens!
I purchased an AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II to use with my new Nikon D90 and it has been an outstanding combination! This camera and zoom lens allow me to use one lens for all my needs, affording me great flexibility for travel and carrying. I love this lens and its clarity, functions and professional characteristics! Thank you NIkon!
April 14, 2011
One word. WOW!
I purchased this lens today with some reservations about the price. I'd read from several reputable sources what a performer this lens is regarding sharpness and contrast. I tried the lens and took some photos and when I saw them on my computer monitor, all I could say was WOW! WOW! WOW!
Amazing sharpness, amazing crystal clarity, and amazing contrast. Beautiful capture of light and superb fast accurate focus.
I recommend this product to anyone wanting to have a "do it all" lens. With range from 18-200, I think this lens will have a long nest on my all so fantastic d7000.
I now see that the price tag that concerned me was absolutely justified and worth it.
WOW!
April 11, 2011
Great product.
Awesome and very fast, the focus is sharp, the zoom mechanism feels good and the lens is constructed with a solid an rigid material.
April 6, 2011
Broken after 2 weeks!
Not very impressed!. I just upgraded my d90 to a d7000. Sold one of my off brand lenses (18-200) and bought the Nikkor 18-200. Brand New. I shot with it about 4 or or 5 time since about March 14th, 2011. Yesterday (March 30th, 2011) I put it back on my camera and the Auto focus is broken. It works off and on at different focal lengths then quits all together. I tried taking it of and on and a bunch of different focus options all unsuccessful. Called Nikon and they said to take it into a one of their servicing centers. Made in Thailand! Unbelievable! And my main reason for switching to a Nikkor 18-200 was I heard there were quality issues with off brand lenses! This is quite embarrassing for Nikon in my opinion. I had my off brand lens for over 3 years and never had an issue with it. Maybe this Nikon is just one bad lemon out of the bunch. Hopefully the service center can resolve the issue.
April 2, 2011
AWESOME PRODUCT!
I am totally in LOVE with this product. It gives me the ability to capture beautiful photos just the way i like..i totally recommend this product.
March 27, 2011
This one does it all
So far I have Nikon 18-200,Nikon 70-300 w/out vr,
50 mm1.4,which is great lens! and this one has become my personal favorite walk around lens.The picture quality is awesome,and VR comes real handy when taking children pictures, its little heavy
but lets not forget ,its 28-300 and every oz is worth the weight, I'am happy and satisfied with my
choice.
March 14, 2011
Great Lens! Great Price! Great Company!
I love Nikon, you can always count on getting a great product that they will stand behind with great service. I like this lens very much. It steadies quickly and always takes crystal clear pictures. I've paired it with a D7000 for most use, but my wife can use it on her D3100 too. It is fantastic! Check out these pictures and you decide. Thank you Nikon!
February 14, 2011
Good for everything
This lens is good for everyday. Both outdoor and indoor. Yet, probably still need one with larger aperture for better creamy bokeh portraits or low light environment.
February 9, 2011
Good lens, some compromises
This is a nice all purpose lens, in fact, I don't take it off the camera! I take a lot of photos on vacation and this lens is good for that. It does have some issues with distortion when photographing buildings but the effect is not hideous for vacation shots. The VR feature is fantastic. I've taken pictures out of cars and had clean, crisp pictures. I've taken pictures at night without pushing the ISO and had great pictures. The "auto" mode on the VR does seem to suck the camera battery, so use judiciously. Manual focus is easy to use, although I use the auto focus most of the time. It is sometimes slow to focus, but not a show stopper.
February 8, 2011
Two lenses in one
My previous, and excellent camera was the D5000. Along with the 18-55, and 55-200mm lenses. I just upgraded to the D7000, and bought the 18-200mm VRII lens. One word sums it up, Excellent! This lens is so fast, and the optics are just wonderful. I dont think this lens will ever come off the camera. Picture quality is absolutely perfect. Albeit a bit pricey, but worth every penny. Highly recommend everyone to upgrade from two lenses, to this great single lens.
December 26, 2010
18-135 who?
I cannot believe how impressed I am with this lens. I loved the underrated 18-135 for it's light weight and small size (I am a small person and needed a light, yet versatile lens). After 24 hours with this lens, I am so completely in love! It's a little heavier than I 'd like, but it's a fair trade in what you get in quality. Fast focus, quiet, small for range. Images are super clear!. The lock is nice too. Usually leave it unlocked, but good to have if you are walking around town.
December 22, 2010
True Winner All In One "Go To Lens"
Exceptional Lens. This lens offers flexibility with the quality you would expect from Nikon. I have used the previous VR lens until recently switching to the newer VR II version. I pair it up with a Nikon D300 camera to produce great Images. My forte' is automobile photography for Amos Auto Enthusiast, Collectible Automobile, AutoTrader Classics and others.
With the 18X200 VR lens I took nearly 150,000 images with zero problems. The new 18x200 VR II has continued this trend with superior quality and worry free use. This lens produces great car to car action shots and dynamic static stills. I use it for most everything including interior, engine and details. Great lens and worth the money. I have shot over 10,000 images with the 18X200 VRII lens.
This lens can replace many with it's wide angle, telephoto and VR II design features.

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?

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.

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 like the 70-300mm VR AF-S lens.Jun 1, 2011 by
