Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II Lens (USED)

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II is the ultimate all-in-one zoom lens designed specifically for Nikon DX-format DSLR cameras. Covering a versatile 11.1x focal range from wide-angle to super-telephoto (equivalent to 27-300mm in 35mm format), this lens is engineered to serve as a single-lens solution for everyday shooting, travel, landscape, portraiture, and action photography. Whether you are capturing sweeping vistas or tight close-ups of distant subjects, this lens eliminates the need to change lenses on the fly, ensuring you never miss a critical photographic moment.

Advanced Vibration Reduction (VR II) Image Stabilization

Equipped with Nikon's advanced second-generation Vibration Reduction (VR II) system, this lens delivers up to four stops of camera shake compensation. This powerful image stabilization enables sharp handheld shooting in low-light environments, such as during sunset or indoors, and stabilizes the viewfinder image at longer telephoto focal lengths. The system features two selectable modes: Normal Mode, which corrects for standard camera shake and automatically detects panning, and Active Mode, which dampens more intense physical vibrations typically encountered when shooting from a moving vehicle or unstable platform.

Extraordinary Optical Performance and Advanced Elements

To ensure exceptional image quality throughout the entire zoom range, the optics are optimized with two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements and three aspherical lens elements. These specialized components work together to suppress chromatic aberrations, astigmatism, and optical distortion, resulting in photographs with superb contrast, sharpness, and true-to-life color reproduction. The glass is treated with Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating (SIC), which maximizes light transmission while drastically reducing ghosting and lens flare, even when shooting into direct backlighting.

Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and Zoom Lock Switch

Autofocusing is fast, precise, and remarkably quiet thanks to Nikon's proprietary Silent Wave Motor (SWM), making this lens highly capable for both quiet event photography and smooth video tracking. An integrated A/M mode switch provides seamless, instant overrides for manual focusing precision without having to switch off the autofocus system. Additionally, the physical lens barrel is equipped with a dedicated zoom lock switch at the 18mm position, securing the lens at its shortest length to prevent the mechanical gravity "creep" that can occur during active travel and transport.
