All-in-one zoom for DX and FX crop mode

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR covers a 27-210mm equivalent range, making it suitable for wide-angle scenes and telephoto compression on DX bodies or FX cameras in crop mode. Its versatile focal span targets photographers who want a single lens for travel or everyday shooting without swapping optics.

Variable aperture limits low-light reach

The maximum aperture narrows from f/3.5 at 18mm to f/5.6 at 140mm, restricting light gathering at longer focal lengths and increasing reliance on vibration reduction or higher ISO settings. ED glass and aspherical elements correct chromatic and geometric distortions, while Super Integrated Coating reduces ghosting and flare across the zoom range.

F-mount attachment with manual override

The lens mounts directly on Nikon F-mount DX and FX bodies and engages Silent Wave Motor autofocus with a minimum focus distance of 1.48 ft. Manual focus override allows instant switching without removing your eye from the viewfinder, though the variable aperture and crop-mode requirement on FX sensors may limit suitability for full-frame wide-angle work.

Questions about this item

Which focal length range suits general travel photography on a DX body?

The 18-140mm zoom covers wide-angle to telephoto in one lens, giving a 27-210mm equivalent on DX cameras for versatile travel shooting.

What does the 3.5-5.6 aperture mean for indoor or low-light use?

At 18mm the maximum aperture is f/3.5, narrowing to f/5.6 at 140mm, so indoor shots may need higher ISO or slower shutter speeds, especially when zoomed in.

How does the Silent Wave Motor and Vibration Reduction work together for handheld video?

SWM provides fast, near-silent autofocus while VR compensates for camera shake, allowing smooth handheld video recording without a tripod.
