Versatile DX zoom for everyday shooting

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is a compact all-in-one lens covering wide-angle 18mm to telephoto 140mm on DX-format cameras. Its 7.8x zoom range handles family portraits, travel scenes and sports action without changing glass. Silent Wave Motor drives fast, quiet autofocus for both stills and video. Extra-low Dispersion glass helps maintain contrast across the frame.

Handheld stability across the range

Vibration Reduction delivers four stops of correction, keeping handheld shots sharper in low light and at the 140mm end where camera shake is most noticeable. The system works continuously while framing, so video remains steady during long takes. Minimum focus distance of 1.48 feet allows close-up detail even at longer focal lengths. Performance stays consistent whether shooting at 18mm or fully extended.

Direct mount on compatible Nikon DSLRs

The lens attaches via standard Nikon F-mount with no adapter required. Autofocus relies on the in-lens motor, so it functions on bodies without a built-in focus drive. VR switch on the barrel lets you disable stabilisation when using a tripod. Buyers who need full-frame coverage or a constant maximum aperture will need a different optic.

Questions about this item

How much power does the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR draw when shooting all day?

The lens uses no external power; it is driven by the camera body through the lens mount, so all-day shooting adds no extra drain beyond the camera's own battery.

What camera mount must I already own for this 18-140mm lens to work?

It requires a Nikon F-mount DX-format DSLR body; the lens will not function on mirrorless Z-mount cameras without an adapter.

Will the 1.48-feet minimum focus distance still let me get close-ups on an older DX body?

Yes, the 1.48-feet close-focus capability works on any compatible DX DSLR, giving macro-style detail regardless of the camera's age.
