I am not an expert photographer and my mainly use this lens mounted to my Nikon DSLR is for astrophotography, usually when I am on holiday in placs where there is a dark sky. I have used in wide angle mode and at full zoom. At wide angle it is pretty accurate at shooting the night sky. However at high zoom I have been less impressed,. Having taken pictures of the moon and star constellations, teh results have been mixed. While the pictures of the moon were good, I wouldnt say the results were pin sharp, especially at ISO ratings of 800 and above.

Very nice lens.Bought it to go on my D300 (an old camera, now, but still, in my opinion, capable of good pics).Wanted something lighter than my 18-300 whopper kit lens that I bought when I got the D300 and which often caused me to leave my camera at home.D300 + this lens is a very nice combo, handles beautifully, it’s like having a new camera.

I bought this lens second hand, despite having reservations about doing so in the past. i had no need to worry, as the lens arrived, in my opinion, as good as new. The picture quality for a zoom lens is also very good. It will never compare with prime lenses, but then you only need one lens in your bag. A great product at a great price.

The well formed 18 – 200mm zoom provides up to 300mm equivalent zoom on a DX Nikon body. I’ve used it from flower blooms to racing cars screeching around motor circuits and pulled some very sharp and well rendered photos. On auto tracking it will hold focus on formula cars approaching head on at 180mph plus by setting 1/500th shutter speed. It won’t pull in clear shots if the racing car is too far out for that you’ll need a pro lens but for 90% of the frames you want it will give superb results – with the right technique. It’s a bit naff for landscapes but for interiors and tightly framed shots of buildings and townscapes the results are stunning. Don’t believe reviews that infer “jack of all trades master of none” this lens will produce excellent well rendered photos pin sharp for a life time of use. It is an investment that will step an order of magnitude above no brand lenses and give you a robust piece of kit you’ll use day after day.

Great wide range lens, solid built. It’s a perfect fit for my Nikon DX camera – D7000. The image quality is great. I bought this lens so I don’t need to carry all my other heavy lenses with me when I go travelling, without missing the opportunity to cover wide range of distance. I took it out with me a few times when I was up on the mountain doing snowboarding so I can capture some nice pictures as well. Very handy!

Pros…..Very fast focusing and tack sharp. Delivers very acceptable images throughout the range and you can get very close to insects in manual mode.Cons….Comes in a plain white box which they don’t bother to mention. Its a KIT lens which they fail to mention, and very expensive for such. A CON in every sense of the word. Cheap plastic mount so be careful you don’t bump it into anything or it will snap off.

I bought this 18-200 VR Nikon lens as an addition to the kit lens on my Nikon D3500. It actually cost more than the camera but I feel it is a very useful addition. Although I havent had the chance to use it much yet (continual rain), so far Im very pleased with the results , even in low light. I especially appreciate the wide angle and its also handy to have the zoom. The lens is very light and I have no problems carrying it around for a few hours – havent tried all day yet.Its very easy to use and the focus , in my opinion, is fast and effective. The VR is also reliable.At the moment its never off my camera. Highly recommended. Looking forward to testing it more. …
