Versatile DX Zoom for Nikon F-Mount

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II covers a broad 27-300mm equivalent focal range, making it a single-lens solution for wide-angle landscapes through to telephoto subjects. It is built for Nikon F-mount DX-format cameras and includes a 3-piece filter kit, lens cap keeper and cleaning kit in the bundle. The Silent Wave Motor delivers swift autofocus with full-time manual override for precise control.

Straightforward Mounting with VR Control

The lens attaches via the standard Nikon F bayonet and the 72mm front thread accepts the included filters without adapters. VR II image stabilization compensates for up to 3.5 stops of camera shake, aiding handheld shooting at longer focal lengths. The HB-35 bayonet hood reverses for storage in the supplied CL-1018 case. Ensure the camera body is DX format; FX bodies will crop the image circle automatically.

All-in-One Reach with Variable Aperture

At 18mm the maximum aperture is f/3.5, narrowing to f/5.6 at 200mm, so low-light telephoto work may require higher ISO or a tripod. Three aspherical and two extra-low dispersion elements with Super Integrated Coating control distortion, chromatic aberration and flare across the range. The seven-blade rounded diaphragm produces smooth background blur. Photographers needing a constant f/2.8 aperture or wider than 18mm equivalent should consider alternative lenses.

Questions about this item

How do I know the VR II stabilisation is working after mounting the lens on my DX body?

Half-press the shutter; the viewfinder image should steady noticeably, and the VR indicator in the display will show active. The system compensates for up to 3.5 stops of shake, so handheld shots at the 200 mm end stay sharp at slower speeds.

What comes in the bundle and what must I add?

The box contains the 18-200 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens, a 72 mm snap-on front cap, LF-1 rear cap, HB-35 bayonet hood, CL-1018 case, a 3-piece filter kit, a lens-cap keeper and a cleaning kit. No extra items are required to start shooting.

Which focal-length version suits a DX sensor — the 18-200 mm or a shorter zoom?

This single lens covers 18-200 mm, giving a 27-300 mm equivalent on DX, so it replaces both wide-angle and telephoto zooms. If you want one lens for travel and everyday use, this is the version to choose.
