Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II AF-S DX review
The DX 18-200mm VR: Class-Leading Versatility The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm,
the next generation of Nikon?€™s all-time best-selling premium
high-ratio zoom, combines an 11.1X zoom range with VR II to provide
DX-format enthusiasts with an extremely versatile zoom range in a compact
form-factor. Nikon enhanced the construction of the lens to include a zoom
lock switch, allowing photographers to secure the lens barrel at its
minimum length, eliminating the natural gravitational effect that can draw
the barrel downward during transport. VR II image stabilization helps to
prevent blurry photos in a variety of lighting conditions, furthering
versatility of the lens. Along with these features, Nikon?€™s
exclusive Super Integrated Coatings reduce instances of ghosting or
flaring. Whether shooting artistic landscapes or vacation snapshots, this
lens provides fast and quiet AF operation with the help of Nikon?€™s
SWM technology. Designed to be a one-lens solution and weighing in at a
mere 565 grams and only 96.5mm in length, this lens provides an
extraordinary picture angle of 27-300mm (35mm equivalent) when mounted on
any Nikon DX-format cameras such as the new D300S or D3000 digital SLR
cameras. Additionally, the optical formula contains two ED glass elements
and three aspherical lenses to minimize chromatic aberration and
distortion. The resulting images exhibit extreme sharpness, extraordinarily
vibrant colour, high fidelity and crisp contrast.
