Lens Overview — Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR

The Nikon Nikkor AF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED DX VR Lens is a wide-ranging zoom lens built for APS-C format DSLR cameras using the Nikon F mount. Covering a focal length range of 18mm to 200mm, this lens offers considerable versatility in a single optic, spanning wide-angle through telephoto in one package. The maximum aperture of f/3.5 at the wide end provides reasonable light-gathering capability for a lens of this zoom range.

Autofocus is supported alongside manual focus, giving photographers the flexibility to switch between focusing modes depending on the shooting situation. Optical image stabilization is built into the lens, helping to counteract camera shake during handheld shooting. The lens is designed specifically for APS-C format sensors and mounts via the Nikon F bayonet, making it compatible with Nikon's DX-format DSLR lineup.

A 72mm filter thread allows for the use of standard screw-in filters such as polarizers and ND filters. Weighing in at 560g, the lens offers a relatively manageable form factor given the breadth of its zoom range, making it a practical choice for photographers looking to travel light without swapping lenses frequently.

Key Features — Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR

11x Superzoom Range: Covers 18mm to 200mm in a single lens, eliminating the need to carry and swap multiple lenses for wide-angle through telephoto shooting.

Vibration Reduction Stabilization: Built-in optical VR helps counteract camera shake for sharper handheld shots at longer focal lengths or in lower light.

AF-S Silent Wave Motor: Nikon's internal focus motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus well-suited to both stills and candid shooting situations.

Extra-Low Dispersion Glass: ED lens elements reduce chromatic aberration and color fringing, particularly important at the telephoto end of the zoom range.

f/3.5 Maximum Aperture: Widest aperture at the 18mm end offers reasonable light-gathering capability for a lens covering this broad a zoom range.

DX-Format APS-C Design: Optimized for Nikon's DX-sensor DSLR bodies, delivering an effective focal length equivalent of approximately 27-300mm in full-frame terms.

A 72mm filter thread makes it easy to attach polarizing filters, ND filters, or other common accessories.
