All-in-one DX zoom lens

This Nikon NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR II DX lens covers an 11.1x zoom range from 18mm to 200mm on DX-format cameras, equivalent to 27-300mm in 35mm terms. It uses a Silent Wave Motor for autofocus and VR II vibration reduction rated at four stops of shake compensation. Two ED and three aspherical elements correct aberrations in a compact barrel measuring 77 x 96mm.

Travellers wanting one lens.

The wide 18-200mm range suits photographers who prefer a single walk-around lens for landscapes at 18mm and distant details at 200mm. The zoom lock switch prevents barrel creep during transport. Shooters who need a constant f/2.8 aperture or faster glass for dim interiors should look at something else, as the variable f/3.5-5.6 maximum aperture limits low-light performance.

18-200mm range with 1.6 ft close focus

At 18mm the lens captures broad scenes with a 76° angle of view, while 200mm narrows to 8° for compressed perspectives. Minimum focus distance is 1.6 ft (20 inches), allowing close-up detail work across the zoom range. The 72mm filter thread accepts standard accessories. Beyond 200mm reach and below 18mm width require additional lenses.

Questions about this item

Which Nikon DX-format SLR body do I need to mount this AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens?

Any current Nikon DX-format digital SLR accepts this AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens because it is designed expressly for that mount and the built-in Silent Wave Motor drives autofocus on bodies without a focus motor.

Will the 18-200mm zoom range cover the same field of view on my older DX camera as it does on a newer one?

Yes, the 18-200mm focal length range gives an equivalent 27-300mm view on every Nikon DX-format SLR, so the wide 76° angle at 18mm and the narrow 8° angle at 200mm behave identically across bodies.

How can I verify the VR II stabilization is active after I attach the lens?

Switch the lens VR to ON, half-press the shutter and watch the viewfinder — the image should steady noticeably, and the VR II system provides shake compensation equivalent to four stops slower shutter speed.
