 18-200 DX zoom creep October 7, 2008

6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Optically this lense does everything it sets out to do, although with some vignetting at 200. However it does suffer from zoom creep, even when new, [I have an e mail from nikon admitting this] and this can only get worse as the lens mechanism wears. Records of lenses sent back to cure this are not good. In short this problem can only really be cured with a suitable elastic band which of course makes a bit of a laughing stock of an expensive Nikon product. The new Tamron lense out soon will have a zoom lock - a good idea for such a long heavy barrel that Nikon should have though of.
 Perfect, but.... October 6, 2008

This is a must have for any nikon fetesh. The 18-200 gives you the power of being everywhere and the colors are great at 18 mm.
The weight is not a problem, for the first 100 pictures on day, but it can be hard to keep the 550g + body for a whole day.
the f/4 is not a problem, but on 200mm the f/5.6 starts to "steal" the colorness of the fantastic pictures that the 18mm is capaple of.
buy it and you dont need anotner one...
Good All In One August 14, 2008

Outclassed in my opinion by the new Tamron 28-300mm VC ( not as sharp, though autofocus works better ) but still a great all rounder that allows you to go out all day without carrying a bag full of lenses.
Recommended.

I bought the Nikon D80 with a kit lens - could not afford the camera and this lens at the time. The lens is incredible - the VR function means that you can take pictures in low light conditions without a tripod and mated wth the D80, taking shots from boats and cars finally works. The huge focal range means that this lens is likely to remain a fixed item on the camera unless I'm doing specialist work. If you can afford it - buy it.

When the shutter is open it is lens the does the work. So it is never an idea to skimp on investing in good lenses. It is hard to believe that a 11x zoom could be a good lens. But it is. Let me qualify that - it is a great lens for what it is designed for i.e. an ideal one-size-fits-all travel lens. It takes the place of at least two, possibly three lens in your camera bag.
Optically it is categorically not a top flight Nikon lens - for best results use software such as DXO in your work flow that can correct for the distortion and boost contrast. The long end is a little soft and there is visible chromatic aberration at the edges - all can be corrected in software. At the shortest end there is noticeable distortion - again correctable. It is surprising good for close up work!
Handling and build quality - again not top flight, but good enough. I don't like the flimsy, short hood but I use it - but watch out if you have a DSLR with built-in flash because it will mask some of the flash. It extends a long way out when zoomed out and feels a bit wobbly whilst its there - but the pictures seem okay. It will also creep under the effects of gravity if not locked at either end - again live with it or use a wide elastic band to hold it steady.
Utility - this is where it scores. If you are traveling it is an absolute boon. Just one lens to carry and it stays on the camera - which means no risk of sensor contamination in wild places.
Bonus - VRII - this makes up somewhat for the slow max aperture especially at the long end. My hand holding technique is pretty good (modest eh?) but useable handheld pictures at 1/6th of a second - read the EXIF and believe. Note however that VR is good for keeping the background steady - moving subjects still need fast shutter speeds to freeze motion - I would not recommend this lens for action sports.
Gripes- there will always be some - I would prefer it 0.5 stop faster across the range, I would like a zoom lock, I would like it to use 77mm rather than 72mm filters, I would prefer an internal zooming design. All that and it would probably cost three times what it does.
Conclusion - take into account the limitations, understand what this lens is good for. You will see a lot of hype on the Internet about this lens. How could a 11x zoom be that good? One answer - its a Nikon - believe!
