Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Interna camera lens

SKU CH-MAVJ-1WCRJ

Versatile DX zoom covering 18-140mm with VR stabilization, Silent Wave Motor autofocus and ED glass for sharp images

  • Versatile 18-140mm zoom covers wide to telephoto
  • Silent Wave Motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus
  • Vibration Reduction steadies handheld shots in low light
  • ED glass and aspherical element cut chromatic aberration and coma
  • Super Integrated Coating boosts light transmission and colour consistency

All-in-one DX zoom lens

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR covers a 27-210 mm equivalent range on DX-format cameras. It suits photographers who want a single lens for wide-angle scenes and telephoto details without changing glass. The 17 elements in 12 groups include ED glass and an aspherical element for sharp results. Super Integrated Coating reduces flare and improves colour consistency.

Silent autofocus with vibration reduction

Nikon Silent Wave Motor drives fast, accurate and quiet autofocus for both stills and video. VR image stabilization delivers sharper handheld photos and footage in low light and at longer focal lengths. The internal focusing design keeps the lens compact during operation. These features help maintain image quality across the entire zoom range.

DX-format compatibility requirement

This lens is designed exclusively for Nikon DX-format DSLR bodies such as the D5300 and D7100. It will not provide full-frame coverage on FX cameras without vignetting. Buyers using full-frame Nikon bodies should choose an FX-designated lens instead. The variable f/3.5-5.6 aperture also limits low-light performance compared to constant-aperture alternatives.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 18-140mm lens on my D5300 and which step do people skip?

Align the white mounting index on the lens barrel with the white dot on the D5300 bayonet, twist clockwise until it clicks, then slide the A/M switch to A so the Silent Wave Motor drives autofocus.

What part of the 17-element optical formula will need professional attention after years of zooming?

The helicoid grease inside the 12-group barrel can dry out, making the zoom ring stiff; a technician can re-lubricate it and reseal the VR unit without replacing glass.

At 140mm and f/5.6, what stops me from shooting sharp handheld frames indoors?

Vibration Reduction gives roughly four stops of shake correction, but at the long end the f/5.6 aperture forces slower shutter speeds that VR cannot freeze if the subject moves.
