Norma Lee Said: Nikon 18-200mm Lens ( Nov. 21st 2009 )
I had high hopes for this lense because of reviews and Ken Rockwell's e-column. The price kept me from purchasing it, but recently I was able to buy it and I was excited to try it out. I had to return it because I had a problem with auto-focusing, especially on close objects. Also, it was extremely heavy compared to the Nikkor lense I now use. I have arthritis in my thumb and it was difficult for me to use the lense because of its weight. Amazon was great about the return -- I fully expected to have to pay the usual 10 or 15% "restocking fee" and also return shipping, but to my surprise Amazon did not require either of those. Amazon's return policies incent me to purchase more items from them in the future.
D. Theis Said: Nikon 18-200 DX VR ( Nov. 12th 2009 )
This Nikon 18-200 VR DX is a big, fat, somewhat heavy lens. It is also the only lens you will even need for your Nikon DX size DSLR unless you are a fringe photographer with special needs like low light/action, extreme concealability or ultra-wide angles of view. Sure other lenses would be nice to fill up your bag but you can make 98% of every shot with this one lens that you would have made with 5 other lenses and you will not need to waste time and bother with changing lenses and chance getting dust inside your camera body. This one $$$ lens will save you $$$$ on the other 4 lenses you don't need anymore. Save up and get this one and spend the rest of your time and money making better photographs.
Sandra H. Ralston Said: Great lens ( Nov. 1st 2009 )
The lens arrived in perfect condition just 3 days after placing the order. Amazingly fast service.
D. Bowers Said: Good for what it was designed to do ( Oct. 18th 2009 )
I have, tested, and used the Nikon 18-200mm VR lens. It is a good lens and does exactly what was designed to do, go from wide angle to telephoto. Its the kind of lens you want to walk around and record your travels, and do it in fine style. I can find only one thing wrong-it is not a true 200mm lens. My tests show it zooms to about 160mm not 200mm, other than that I like it.
Alexey Miroshnikov Said: Nothing but a plesure ( Oct. 8th 2009 )
I'm an occasional photographer (Nikon D70). Not too many shots but varying from my family Christmas party (in the dark) to kids skiing fast in the Alps (in the sun and in the snow). My impression is that it is the lens as the lens should be. For people like me it is a dream come true. Anything "simpler" than this lens is just a waste of money.
