Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

 

The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is one of the better superzoom SLR lenses we've tested, but its price is on the high side.

16.7x zoom range. Consistent sharpness through range. Optical stabilization. 1:3 macro magnification.

16.7x zoom range. Consistent sharpness through range. Optical stabilization. 1:3 macro magnification. ; Shows significant distortion. Some edge softness when zoomed. Pricey.

Conclusions A lens with a 16.7x zoom ratio is never going to deliver the same performance as a top-end prime lens or a shorter zoom. The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR offers consistent sharpness throughout its zoom range, and while it...

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm F3.5-5.6G ED VR

 

The AF-S Nikkor 18-300mm F3.5-5.6G ED VR was announced in June 2012, and holds the distinction of being the longest-range superzoom available for any interchangeable-lens camera system. Its 16.7x, 27-450mm equivalent zoom range trumps Tamron's 18-270mm...

Huge 16.7x focal length range (while maintaining F5.6 aperture at telephoto) ; Good image quality in the wide to short telephoto range ; Fast, quiet autofocus ; Good build quality, smooth zooming action and no zoom creep ; Decent close-up capability

Very soft results at telephoto ; Extreme distortion across most of the range (but can be corrected in-camera with recent SLRs) ; Image stabilization not as effective as on similar lenses, especially at telephoto end ; Flash shadowing at wideangle on...

Nikon's AF-S Nikkor 18-300mm F3.5-5.6 VR lens offers the longest zoom range currently available for any interchangeable lens camera system. But this comes with all of the usual optical compromises associated with a superzoom, in a large, heavy package....

If you need a one lens solution for your Nikon digital SLR, the 18-200mm AF-S ED VR II is it. In fact, it might be a good reason for choosing Nikon for your next DSLR, just because of the availability of this incredibly versatile lens. There's little...

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

 

Superzoom lenses were never going to be as good in the optical department as primes or short-range professional zooms, and the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR certainly doesn't challenge that paradigm. Simply put, if you aspire to make...

Great lens. You won't need any others because of the range this one provides. Metal construction, very well made although not made in Japan. Thailand? Whatever.
