Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR II Lens

Nikon AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR Verdict

The first lens covering this range from Nikon was immensely popular, and with this new version, the issue with zoom creep and the lens extending during transport has been addressed. The addition of Nikon's latest VR II vibration reduction system is also welcome, with it ironing out hand-held shakes effectively.

Compromises are always present with a lens covering such a large zoom range, and although the clarity at 200mm may not be up to that of some lenses with a shorter zoom range, it should prove plenty adequate for casual photographers who will get more out of the convenient range.

The Nikon AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR has a convenient range and is an ideal lens for the casual photographer.
