Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Only Lens You Need!
If you are like most of us that love photography, you're always looking for the "perfect lens". My camera bag was loaded with various lenses (five prior to this writing) so I would always be ready to capture some interesting shot. I outgrew two camera bags after starting with a very simple LowePro bag and got to the point that I didn't take my camera with me because it was cumbersome. Nikon 18mm-200mm VR lens to the rescue! I knew about this lens because my son had been using it since it first ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good all around lens
Camera package didn't come with as much wide angle as I'd like so I thought this lens would make a good addition. I was right. It's easy to use and for my purposes delivers quality images. My main use is for landscape photography and this lens offers both a good zoom range and a nice wide angle all in one package. There are times when changing lens is not always possible (think balloon ride), this lens covers alot of ground. I normally drag along a digital and film camera so less lens to carry ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great lens to keep it on your Camera all the time
It's been a month since I bought this lens and everything about this lens is true. It's a great everyday lens. Everything about this lens is great, not good but great. Not spectacular but great. It focus quick and accurate. Color is vibrant and tad too contrast but that can be adjust in camera body.
Everything needs to be adjusted to your personal taste no matter which lens you buy. You also need to sacrifice something to gain something in return. If anyone who think they can have everything ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nikon 18-200mm
I think this has been great addition. I wish i had got this sooner... takes out the whole part about caring multiple lenses and all of that... One Lens does it all.. great results and very happy to finally have purchased it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent travel lens, but not the only lens you will ever need
The 18-200 VR is an excellent travel lens, is extremely versatile, and good quality overall, but it is not the only lens you will ever need for most people.

It has its flaws, most notably for me are the distortion at 18 mm (which is correctable) and the lens isn't the best as you approach 200 mm, but it still is good enough for most cases. I also noticed it tends to overexpose a hair near 18mm, but exposure comp takes care of that easily, then again this could also be my camera or the shooting ... Read More
