Review on 📷 High-Performance AF-S DX Nkr 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G ED VR II: Ultimate Versatility and Optical Excellence by Danish Affndy ᠌

In fact, it is the only universal zoom available for Nikon, so although some people like to talk about its shortcomings, there is, in fact, no alternative to it. Even if replaced by two less universal ones. For example, this lens can be replaced with two of these: 1. Nikon 18-70mm f3.5-4.5 2. Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Both of these lenses are not brighter than 18-200, the picture is also not without flaws, the price is the same in total, the weight is heavier in total. And try to change the lenses in windy weather somewhere in the fields - you are tormented by dust cleaning the matrix. About luminosity. Seriously faster lenses (like the Nikon 70-200mm f / 2.8G) cost completely different money, and there will be no versatility anymore. About bokeh. No need to compare this lens with fixes! I compared with 18-105mm and with 70-300. Differences are minimal (it is unclear even better or worse) About speed. The focusing speed is almost the same as 18-105, the meager difference is noticeable only at large distance differences. About the stabilizer. The stabilizer allows you to confidently capture sharp handheld shots at 1/30 exposure at the long end (200mm). This is not three or four stops declared by the manufacturer, but it reliably compensates for a couple of stops.
