Good all-around; do not expect "pro" results

Date of Review:  Jan 31, 2006
The Bottom Line: In a class of its own it's 5 stars - no better "mega" zoom with VR. If best quality is key, get 2 lenses for about the same cost.
Review: Being the first to review the lens here puts some responsibility on my shoulders :)

I've used this lens for the past month or so in a variety of conditions on my D70s. Images come-out with good color and contrast as they tend to with most...

A lens for those are too lazy to bother with a tripod?

Date of Review:  Nov 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: It a jack of all trades but master of none!
Review: Out of the box, the lens looks well built and finished. The wide zoom range will mean that couple of aging lenses can now be retired. (especially my 18-35 Nikor which has too short a zoom range) Having a multi purpose wide to tele lens will reduce...

Only lens you'll need on a vacation. Versatile, lightweight, and compact.

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: Buy this lens. It will be the only lens you need for 99 percent of your work - unless your a pro doing weddings, etc.
Review: If your looking for a one act show, this is the lens to buy. I no longer have to lug around three lenses on vacation. This lens eliminates that. I bought a Nikon D200 with the intent of using my legacy lenses but this zoom replaces them all. The...

Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2008
Review: I purchased this lens on a recommendation of the person that sold me my Nikon D80 camera. After using the it, I realized that I made a great decision to upgrade to the 18-200mm. I am not a professional photographer but I could be with this lens. It...

a super zoom worth owning?

Date of Review:  Feb 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: It's a lot of lens for the money, but its not a magic lens that replaces the need for pro optics. Its the best superzoom I ever used.
Review:



Purists would balk at the idea of a single zoom that covered all the usual focal lengths from wide angle to telephoto. Its been tried many times in the past, often with disastrous results. There is good reason why most top-shelf...

Best superzoom made

Date of Review:  May 2, 2006
Review: I have been remarkably surprised by the sharpness and clarity of this lens. Photos are crisp, constrasty and have great color. The zoom range is absolutely luxurious, and the lens is now on my D200 99% of the time. The VR is excellent, quiet and...

But Is This Lens Worth The Money??

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: For Nikon users without a Super-Zoom, this is a lens worth considering.
Review: INTRODUCTION

The Nikkor 18-200 mm f3.5-5.6G ED-IF, AF-S VR DX zoom lens is almost an alphabet soup of designators for a lens that has both many admirers and numerous critics. It is a lens that generally retails in the U.S. for anywhere...

An Inexpensive & Versatile Mid-Range Zoom

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 2003
The Bottom Line: A nice mid-zoom Nikon lens at bargain basement prices.
Review: This is another of the NIKON 'G' lenses that are manufactured without an aperture ring for use on Nikon's AF cameras that control controls electronically through the master control dial. For some of us old-timers who are accustomed to aperture...

review for Nikon lens

Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2008
Review: My experience with this product was difficult to use. I found that the picture quality was lacking the right view for my purpose.

Best all-purpose lens.

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 2009
Review: I have been using this as my primary lens for about 1 1/2 years and it is really good. I have shot thousands of images and taken the lens through some tough situations. It has the best range that I have seen without sacrificing too many f-stops. You...
