The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II is a medium range wide angle telephoto lens incorporating Nikon’s Vibration Reduction II technology. This ensures that the lens can be mounted on a DX format Nikon DSLR and up to four stops slower shutter speed can be used simply by hand holding the camera. This 11x DX format lens is very sharp, not only at the corners but also at the middle of the frame.
It incorporates Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor technology for quiet auto-focusing. Additionally the presence of M/A technology means the user can shift from auto to manual focusing by simply turning the focusing ring. This gives precise focusing control without having to flick a switch. Additionally Nikon has provided Internal Focusing technology in the lens which ensures that the barrel length of the lens never extends when it is focusing.
