Nikon F 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6

The Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 (ED VR) is an 11x all-in-one zoom for DX-format Nikon cameras that trades ultimate optical perfection for flexibility and convenience. It covers a very broad focal length range from moderate wide to long telephoto, making it an ideal travel companion when changing lenses is impractical. Nikon’s Vibration Reduction helps maintain sharp results at slower shutter speeds, and the optical design includes ED glass elements and multiple aspheric elements to manage aberrations and maintain usable contrast across the zoom. While not the sharpest lens at every focal length compared to dedicated primes or professional zooms, its versatility and relatively modest weight make it popular with hobbyists and travelers who prioritize range and simplicity.
