Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens
Customer Review: Great one Lens does All
Summary: 4 Stars
I wanted the full range in one lens. I'm more or less a dilettante when it comes to photography but it more than serves my needs. Yes, it's very expensive, but now, I can get by with just one lens. It performs quite well over the whole range. Be aware that it is quite heavy compared to the basic lenses. Overall, I'm happy I got it.Customer Review: Great for vacations
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this for a recent vacation where I wanted to carry only one lens and not have to be changing lenses. Worked just as advetised - wide zoom range and vibration reduction. Customer Review: A very dissapointing lens
Summary: 2 Stars
As ap semi-pro with photography, I moved from Canon equipment to Nikon specifcally for this lens. In the last two months I have shot over a thoursand pictures with my D300 and this lens. Several years ago I had a Nikon 8800 as a secondary camera that provided stunning pictures all be it an extremely slooooooow camera. I kept asking myself, what is wrong with this highly sofisticated camera and lens? I found that shooting with spot metering provided the best results but still not as sharp and popping as I am use to getting. I finally went back to Amazon and read the 1 and 2 star reviews only to learn that so many have experienced what I have come to realize. This is truly a soft focus lens good for 4x6 famly pictures but do not attempt to blow them up at all. I do a lot of macro photography and would say that 90% of the photos I shot were unusable! I moved to the Nikon 16 to 85 and it is a night and day difference. If you are interested in large format printing and want to see the veins in the pedal of a rose - run from this lens as fast as you can!Customer Review: Best LENS?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first lens, so it's hard to compare it's performance with anything else. But it is a really versatile lens that takes very nice pictures. There are better lens for specific items, i.e. speed, macro, zoom, but this is a good as it gets for having everything in one lens.
I recommend it, unless you have problems carring a heavier camera
Customer Review: Excellent Glass
Summary: 5 Stars
My goal was to find a lens offering a broad range of magnification and capable of producing excellent pictures. I was looking for the "complete package" for my Nikon D80 camera. A lens I could leave on the camera. I understood the lens would not produce a picture as "tack sharp" as a prime lens but I was looking for something close in quality. I opted to purchase this lens and I have to say I made a good decision. The range this lens offers is terrific, the focus is smooth and quick, the VR is great for low light conditions, and best and most important of all the quality of the photographs are excellent. If you are looking for an excellent all purpose lens look no further.
