Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II DX ED AF-S Nikkor-Zoom Lens - Factory Demo

An ideal one-lens solution for DX-format DSLRs.

The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G ED VR II incorporates a zoom mechanism to prevent what is sometimes referred to as "zoom creep" (the lens moves under its own weight when tilted). A zoom lock switch keeps the lens compact when being carried as well. This lens also features an improved Super Integrated Coating, an exclusive multi-layer lens element coating which reduces ghost and flare, ensuring improved image quality and contrast.

In addition, this lens features Nikon's exclusive Vibration Reduction (VRII), giving users the ability to shoot at shutter speeds up to four stops slower than would otherwise be possible, thereby minimizing image blur caused by camera shake. The optical VR system also stabilizes the viewfinder image enabling more accurate autofocus acquisition and framing to make it ideal for shooting in low light conditions without a tripod.
