Great lens!

Love this lens as it replaced my two Kit lenses. This new lens has vibration control so when zooming in it stabilizes the Optics which is great!

Nikon 18-300 mm DX

I'm delighted with this lens. It is unusually sharp for a wide-range zoom (perhaps even sharper than my older 18-200 lens). It's essentially the same size as my older lens, so I can even use the same camera bag! VR is quick and very stable.

Soft Focus

The focus is a little bit soft from 200mm to 300mm, but I suppose that should be expected as the aperture gets up to 6.3. I can't help that. I would not buy this lens again. I like my 28-300mm 3.5-5.6 much better.

Versatile and a one lens fits all solution!

Lens was everything I hoped it would be. My wife and I are taking an extensive trip in November with many stops in the Southern Hemisphere including Cambodia, India and Africa. I wanted one lens for landscapes, portraits, and wildlife and the 18-300 mm fits the bill.

I was looking for love

I was hoping that this lens would be mounted on my D5100 and never be taken off. Unfortunately, its a little soft in the higher range.

Not sharp enough.

I had hoped that this lens would replace two lenses that I own -- a Sigma 17-70 and a Nikon 70-300. Sadly, this Nikon 18-300 is not as sharp as either of those lenses. Though it would be convenient to have one lens that "does it all," convenience is temporary, but image quality is forever. So I'm sending this back. (I resent the fact that I have to pay the return shipping for this item.)

Not impressed yet

Granted, this is an early review, and I have only had several weeks of intermittent use of this lens, but I have not been impressed with the results so far. I even updated the firmware on my D7200 to see if that helped, but still find it difficult to get tack sharp photos using autofocus. I have been able to get some really sharp macro photos using manual focus, and the lens offers a very attractive bokeh background. I am not sure whether the lens I received has a slight defect, causing the issues with autofocus, compared to the inexpensive 18-140 lens that came packaged with the camera when purchased, or if the lens itself is lesser quality though considerably more expensive. I had really hoped to not have to carry my 200-500 zoom to get some good shots at medium distances, but the image quality with this lens is so far below the big lens, I unfortunately will have to continue carrying it around. I do have a friend who raves about the lens and intend to borrow his and compare image quality and function to see if it is an issue specific to this particular lens, but haven't had the opportunity yet. Based on my experience so far, I would not recommend this lens, but after trying my friends on my camera, I may update to confirm that I received a defective lens.

This is a great travel lens .

this is a lens that i bought to travel with. It is not a top line lens like the 24-70 2.8 but it does a good job and covers a lot of range and is not heavy.

Great combination and great versatility for broad range of applications

I've had this lens for over a year now and it lives on a Nikon 7500. I've been extremely pleased with the results of this combination shooting jumping fish, boats in motion, as well as birds at distance and close ups and landscapes. This is a very light combination for easy carrying and versatility. Interesting watching the video here on the site I immediately recognized the NZ scenery! My first Nikon I took to NZ was a Nikonos II - great for hiking in the wet weather on the South Island and fabulous 35mm lens for landscapes and Kodachrome 64! After a series of 35mm Nikons to a 5300 and D300 for the heavy stuff, I'm really content with the 7500 and this lens. I also have the AS 70-200mm 2.8 VR (too heavy to easily carry) and it lives on the D300.

Replaced 3 lenses!

This lens is as described, and a great all-around solution for general photography. I’ve noted the vignette increasing as you reach the outer limit of the zoom, but it’s easily fixed by software once you’ve opened the file. The macro setting is yet another bonus and reason for getting this versus two or three lenses. Loving it so far!

Perfect Range for Amateur Photographer

I’ve wanted this lens for a while and the add-ons were mostly a bonus. Lens filters good quality. The one lens wrap is gigantic and not sure what it would be suited for - a super telephoto maybe? The other lens case is sturdy and has loops to fit on the outside of a camera bag if needed.

A Super Lens that fills a wide variety of needs.

What a great lens! I had one before that was not as wide a range for the lens but it did have the Vibration Reduction. But this is far superior to that lens. The range from 18 - 300 is just absolutely perfect for all my needs. And I have seen a real difference with the VR. I can't wait to use this on our trip to Australia in February!

Not for sports

I bought this lens about a year ago and was convinced I received a bad copy. It would not consistently focus on moving subjects. I decided to give it another shot and bought it again. Same results poor focus accuracy on moving subjects. Did not matter if it was on my d3300 or d7200. Odd thing was randomly it would shoot an amazIng shot after shooting about 25 out of focus. I have purchased 13 Nikon lenses from the cheeper models to the high end models. I have never been disappointed with any of them other than this model. My 55-300 blows this one out of the water. I did not expect it to match my 70-200 F4 but for the price this was again disappointing. Fortunately Adorama has an awesome return policy. I will take my refund and probably by a teleconverter for my 200-500 just for fun. On a side note don't take Ken Rockwells on reviews seriously. He totally over rated this lens.

Buy a lens hood too!

IMPORTANT- This lens does not come with a lens hood. I am a pro photographer so I have all the fast lenses. I bought this as my walk around outdoor lens and love The range. Somewhat unbelievable that it doesn’t come with the lens hood nor is it clearly indicated.

By DixieLinda

I've had opportunity to study both lenses and how they are best for various shooters: I have sold Nikon products as a "Mom and Pop Dealer" for 20+ years. All-in-one lenses are convenient. They aren't the best choice for everyone. To describe them as only for amateurs or professionals is a little too simple. Nikon gives us many lenses to choose from: sometimes we sacrifice cash and extra weight and reap tremendous benefits! A host of fast prime lenses is ideal for some, but for many, a single...

The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR lens is a all-in-one wide-angle to telephoto zoom lens for Nikon DX-format (APS sensor) DSLR cameras. With a 16.7x zoom range, this lens is a compact and versatile choice for travel photography, as well as for general family photos. It is a popular choice for amateur photographers and photography enthusiasts who want the benefit of the outstanding image quality provided by Nikon APS DSLR cameras but in a lightweight camera and lens combination. Vibration reduction makes the lens hand-holdable in lower light, even at longer focal lengths, while the lens elements are designed for the sharpest, clearest and most accurate images possible. The zoom range is the equivalent of a 27-450mm lens on a 35mm camera, making it ideal for sports photography and animal photography. It is a significant upgrade to a typical kit lens.

What you should know about this lens:
• Extended focal range: 16.7x zoom covers it all, from landscapes and interiors to portraits, wildlife and sports.
• Effective image stabilization: Nikon Vibration Reduction technology combats camera shake and is effective to 4 stops of blur-free handheld photography in low light or when zoomed all the way out.
• Optimized for sharp images: The lens delivers stunning image quality with vibrant color, sharp detail and minimal distortion. The lens is constructed of three aspherical (AS) glass elements and one Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements.
• Fine focusing: The lens uses Nikon's advanced AF technology, Silent Wave Motor (SWM), which focuses quickly and almost silently. This is a great feature for both still photographers and HD videos. The lens focuses internally, so the physical length of the lens doesn't change when focusing. 7 rounded aperture blades promote natural-looking out-of-focus areas and rounded specular highlights.
