Lens Overview — Nikon 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR is a wide-ranging zoom lens built for Nikon F mount DSLR cameras, designed specifically around the APS-C format sensor. With a focal length range spanning 18mm to 300mm, this lens covers an exceptionally broad spectrum of shooting situations — from wide-angle landscapes at the short end to compressed telephoto framing at 300mm — making it a strong candidate for photographers who want to carry a single lens for varied subject matter. The maximum aperture opens to f/3.5 at the wide end, with the aperture narrowing as you zoom through the range.

Autofocus is supported and the lens also allows manual focus operation, giving shooters flexibility in how they acquire their subjects. Optical image stabilization is built in, which helps maintain sharpness when shooting handheld, particularly useful at longer focal lengths where camera shake becomes more pronounced. The lens uses a 67mm filter thread, which is a common and affordable filter size, making it easy to add polarizers or ND filters without expensive accessories.

At 550 grams, the lens sits at a manageable weight given the zoom range it covers. It is compatible exclusively with Nikon F mount bodies and is optimized for DX-format cameras.

Nikon F Mount: Compatible with the broad range of Nikon F mount DSLR bodies, including entry-level and enthusiast DX cameras.
