Full Review: Nikon AF-S DX 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR superzoom

 

The Nikon 18-200mm VR has long been renowned as the best superzoom lens on the market. For a while though, it hasn't led the field for outright zoom range, losing out to the Sigma 18-250mm and Tamron 18-270mm, both of which have recently had radical...

A Necessity for Me

 

A Necessity for Me

I'm not a pro, but my hobby requires me to take a lot of pictures. I've been working with point and shoots in the year I've been involved in this activity and I just couldn't deal with the shutter-lag and other limitations of the cameras I was using,...

Shoddy workmanship

 

Shoddy workmanship

When I bought this lens I noticed that it was made in Thailand. That should have been my first clue. Like all the "newer" Nikkors it is made with a lot of plastic. After one month of shooting (about 2000 actuations) on an assignment in Japan the...

Zoom is a little loose

 

Zoom is a little loose

When pointing straight, this lens is a fantastic zoom. It's good with focusing and is relatively quick. Nikon's VR technology is also really good. The only complaint I have is that when I point up or down the lens will start expanding or pulling back...

a versatile lens, but....

This is a good lens if you only want to take a single lens on vacation. I find myself constantly having to swap my 18-55, 55-200 lenses because I'd snap people, then landscapes, and then architecture, and then animals. This lens has made snapping...

Nikon 18-200 VR, One of Several Very Good, All Purpose, Walkabout Lenses

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so, I think, is one's opinion of a camera lens. I've learned over the years that lens reviews are helpful, but they are just opinions. Yes, for sure, you generally get better optics with more expensive lenses,...

So convenient for travel

I am using this lens on my D90. I got this lens in July to replace my 18-55 VR and 55-200 VR. I now only carry this lens when I travel. It is so nice to only carry one lens. I never need to worry about missing a shot cause I had the wrong lens on...

Nikon 18-200mm Lens

I had high hopes for this lense because of reviews and Ken Rockwell's e-column. The price kept me from purchasing it, but recently I was able to buy it and I was excited to try it out. I had to return it because I had a problem with auto-focusing,...
