Nikon 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 G AF-S DX ED VR II Lens

The Nikon 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 G AF-S DX ED VR II Lens is a popular, all-round DX-format 11.1 x zoom lens. Equipped with Nikon’s Vibration Reduction system and exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM), it offers superb performance in low-light, delivering steady images to both the sensor and viewfinder, and features fast, quiet autofocus. The high quality optical design boasts Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating and two ED glass elements for superb colour reproduction and minimized distortion. A practical zoom-lock switch keeps the lens secure when not in use. Great value for money, this is a flexible all-in-one lens – ideal for capturing everything from wide landscapes to close-ups of distant subjects.

Spanning wide to tele, the Nikon 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 G AF-S DX ED VR II Lens is an ideal all-around lens characterized by an advanced optical design, compact profile, and image stabilization. Three aspherical elements and two extra-low dispersion elements are used to control both spherical and chromatic aberrations, in order to produce high sharpness and clarity, and a Super Integrated Coating works to minimize flare for high contrast and colour accuracy.

Supporting the optics is VR II image stabilization, which compensates for up to 3.5 stops of camera shake to help realize sharp imagery when shooting handheld. A Silent Wave Motor is also used to provide fast and precise autofocus performance, along with full-time manual focus override.
