Review on Nikon 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX NIKKOR Zoom Lens with Auto Focus for DSLR Cameras by Hideo Tsushi ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but you can find a better one.

I’m probably very critical of optics - I shot on a crop with many lenses - but I bought a multi-pixel camera and fell for the advice of marketers that in order to reveal it, I supposedly need 18-140 and I really regretted it . There is no quality at such ends, not in vain experienced users talk about three to five zoom ratios - ideally it's 17-50 (I'm not talking about whale) . Of course, this lens will suit many beginners - until they increase their shots by 30,40,50% . I regret that I didn’t take 16-85 or more expensive than 16-80 - they have sharpness not only in the center but also along the edges of the frame. Personally, I cannot call such a lens good, losing a wide angle. It’s normal for them to shoot from 35 to 80 - further distortion, soap . why do I need it then 18 or 140? - it’s so clean to take a walk on a trip and get medium-quality photos . Although why am I crucifying here - a good lens for my money, but not for me. Portraits on it look great, but you can forget about the quality by enlarging the picture on a computer about landscapes. Well, there is a fix for portraits)) Good luck to everyone. I would take either a tamron or sigma 17-50 aperture (if there is an amendment in the carcass front and back focus) or nikon 16-80 but it is expensive. I specially shot the world and post a photo of 18, 25 mm, so that you understand what soap is around the edges . If you want more quality, see other lenses - this is a pure whale and you should not expect miracles here. On wide it is better to shoot at f11 - flu is rather weak at 8.9. Good luck choosing.

This lens is much better than the 18-135 Thanks to convenient focal lengths,

After the transition from 18-55, it feels like I got to another level. Autofocus is fast enough, I did not notice the stabilization work in the on / off positions.
November 17, 2022
Got pros: Focal length range sharpness Stabilization quiet focus Has some cons Dark Mediocre bokeh No hood and pouch included Distortion at short focal lengths

Pros below: An excellent lens to understand what focal lengths you need. With its cons. It seems heavy after the fix, well, it's dark.

Very meticulously compared with other whales, in general, better, got what I wanted.

Has pros: Small, relatively cheap, for short ones - excellent aperture ratio. Has cons: There is no latch in the folded position, it is dark at full eversion. It feels like 100-120mm and not 140.

Group shooting failed - not only are the edges distorted, but also blurred! And this is at 1/8 aperture!
November 16, 2022
Has pros: Sharp enough, fast focusing, 18-105 is much worse, the stub works well Has cons: After a year of use, the sealing ring between the zoom segments came loose, that is, it sits in place, when zooming it comes out of the groove, I will glue it to death; quite weighty
November 16, 2022
Pros below: The price is acceptable. The assembly is good. Large range of focal lengths ("travel - zoom"). On the middle and long end - good sharpness. Cons: At 18 lathers around the edges shamelessly! Sometimes the focus misses.

You can buy with confidence. The usual Nikon lens of average quality. However, for home use and stocks, its quality is quite enough :-)
