Nikon's 18-200mm DX superzoom with 3.5-stop VR II stabilization.

a 11x zoom range on a DX body covers 27-300mm equivalent, enough to go from a wide environmental portrait to a compressed telephoto shot without swapping glass. Two ED elements keep chromatic fringing controlled at the long end, and three aspherical elements manage spherical aberration across the focal range. Super Integrated Coating cuts flare in contrasty backlit conditions where lesser coatings fall apart.

VR II delivers up to 3.5 stops of shake correction, which matters most when you're shooting at 200mm handheld in available light. The Silent Wave Motor autofocuses quickly and quietly, and internal focus means the front element stays put, no rotation, no barrel creep. The 72mm filter thread is standard enough that a circular polarizer for travel work won't break the bank.

This is a lens built around the idea that one body, one lens, one bag is a legitimate shooting strategy. Photographers who need that kind of coverage without lugging a two-lens kit will get real mileage out of the focal range and stabilization working together.

Who It's For

Travel photographers working from a single bag get a 27-300mm equivalent range without a second body or lens swap. Street and documentary shooters benefit from the Silent Wave Motor's quiet operation when working close to subjects. Casual wildlife photographers gain reach at the 200mm end with VR II absorbing the hand movement that would otherwise blur a stationary subject in low light. New DX shooters building a first kit get broad focal coverage in one compact package with internal focus keeping the handling predictable.

  • 72mm filter thread for standard accessories

FAQ

What's the equivalent focal length on a DX body?
27-300mm, so you get wide environmental shots at 18mm and compressed telephoto reach at 200mm without changing lenses.
How much does VR II stabilization help at 200mm?
Up to 3.5 stops of compensation, which translates to shooting handheld in available light where you'd normally need a tripod or fast film speed.
Does the front element rotate during focus?
No. Internal focus keeps the front element stationary, so filters stay aligned and the barrel doesn't creep in or out.
What's controlling chromatic fringing at the long end?
Two ED elements and three aspherical elements work together. The ED glass handles color separation, the aspherical elements correct spherical aberration across the zoom range.
Will a circular polarizer fit without an adapter ring?
Yes. The 72mm filter thread is standard, so any CPL in that size threads on directly.
How does autofocus perform with the Silent Wave Motor?
Fast and quiet. AF-S (Silent Wave Motor) is built for both speed and minimal noise, which matters if you're recording ambient sound or need quick focus in quiet environments.
