Comments about Nikon Nikon 18mm - 200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR-II Wide Angle Telephoto Zoom-Nikkor Lens - Grey Market:
I love the flexibility I have with this lens! It's great for travel, eliminating the hassle of carrying a bunch of lenses. And for a zoom lens, the picture quality is excellent.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 18mm - 200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR-II Wide Angle Telephoto Zoom-Nikkor Lens - Grey Market:
Awesome lens! could not expect less from Nikon. The one and ONLY con is that every now and then for pointing-down shots the lens creeps little by little out so you have to hole the zoom ring to keep the focus where you had it. other than that it's an awesome lens for when you can't carry more than one lens around.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 18mm - 200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR-II Wide Angle Telephoto Zoom-Nikkor Lens - Grey Market:
I got this lens for its convenience while shooting weddings. While I prefer constant aperture lenses to this one, I also hate having to constantly change lenses in an ever-changing wedding environment. With this lens I can switch from a wide-angle shot to a zoomed-in close-up in no time, and that is very convenient. Love the VR, but still sometimes have trouble getting a really sharp shot because the lens is so heavy (because of the VR motor). I feel like even with the VR, if I'm zoomed out to 200mm I want to use a tripod if it's convenient. Overall, I think this is a very good all-purpose lens that replaced my original kit lens (35-70 f/3.5-5.6 I think?) and my 70-300 f/3.5-5.6.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 18mm - 200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR-II Wide Angle Telephoto Zoom-Nikkor Lens - Grey Market:
This is a great one-size-fits-all lens that works for almost anything.
Particularly useful if you want to quickly snap a picture and don't like fumbling with lens changes. It has helped me reduce sensor dust because I never remove this lens.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 18mm - 200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR-II Wide Angle Telephoto Zoom-Nikkor Lens - Grey Market:
This lens is everything I ever wished for. It is sharp and focuses fast. VR is a miracle in many situations. You might think your shots are sharp but wait until you see VR in action!
It does not have lens creep - I think Nikon fixed this. It feels solid and with great construction quality.
I have taken shots at all focal lenths and have not noticed any distortion for any 'normal' photo. If you zoom everything 100% and study shots of buildings or any other subject that might be affected by lens distortion, you will probably find some errors. Then you should get a lens for shooting arcitechture! Should you get a critical photo or two with some distortion its kids play to correct it in photo editing software.
Unless you have VERY specific needs, this lens really is all you'll ever need.

I USE THIS LENS WITH THE NIKON D-300 CAMERA AND COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. I DECIDED TO SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY OVER THE SIGMA OR OTHER BRANDS, AND ITS PAID OFF. THE VR IS GREAT WITHOUT A TRIPOD. I TAKE PICTURE OF EVERYTHING FROM SPORTS,PORTRAITS,WILDLIFE, AND IT PERFORMS GREAT. AUTOFOCUS NO PROBLEM AT ANY FOCAL LENGHT. THIS IS THE DO IT ALL LENS,I DONT LEAVE HOME WITH OUT IT. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS TELLING ME TO SELL MY PICTURES ,CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS LENS !!!!
