The Nikon 18-200mm F3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR II DX Lens is brilliant development for the Nikon SLR digital cameras. It’s the 1st lens to come up with the Nikon’s 2nd generation Vibration Reduction technology which allows the camera lens to take picture at four stops slower rather than 3. Then the Nikon lens is designed with a broad focal range of 18-200 mm (11.1 x zoom) that is almost equivalent to the 27-300 mm camera lens in the 35mm format. Again, you get 2 Extra-low Dispersion glass and three aspherical lens component which minimizes any possible distortions like astigmatism, chromatic aberration and others ensuring high contrast and resolution.
Moreover, the lens is designed with an M/A mode that helps in fast switching in between Manual and Auto focus operation. Then, there is the High Grade SIC (Super Integrated Coating) to present you with high-end color reproduction minimizing flare and ghosting. Finally, you will also get a user guide to help you out with the operation.
