Pros: IT DOES EVERYTHING!! Light and compact, lAF is very precise and fast, stabilization equally efficient, and sharpens above average for the type of optics that does everything !!

Cons: Slight chromatic aberration at 200mm, lack of tropicalization.

Opinion: Actually, after a long militancy, with satisfaction, with APS-C on my d-7200, I switched to FX with the D750 and D780, and so, wrongly, I sold this lens. But I missed it as a handyman's goal, even though I also had a 24-120 f/4 (fascinated as the 18-200), I needed something more extensive, and so I bought it back by associating it with a D5600 x just in case. What to say, it's really good with excellent sharpness up to 150 even at minimal diarammia, it drops slightly to 200mm, but then , frankly, there is no comparison with a certain average economic competition, I personally consider it one of the best superzooms still on the market, it has taken me in a lot of situations managing to take photos on the fly that I certainly would never have been able to do with a set of interchangeable optics, even if not very bright, always manages to give the best of itself in many situations where readiness and speed make the difference. Now, you find it at a very affordable price.. for me really great and definitely worth + how much it costs.

Pros: Lightweight, small, very large zoom range, precise AF, efficient stabilization, sharp F 8 from 18 to 170 mm, is solid even though it does not look like it.

Cons: Price, vignette, soft at full opening, a bit of AC at full aperture, cutting the maximum focal length at short distances of MaF, ridges ridiculous.

Opinion: Travel optics, lightweight, a handyman par excellence, I also use it on the D 810, where it is sharper than on the D 7000. If one uses it for what it is intended to do, it's a great optic, you are almost photographed everything is fine. On a pixellated camera, it's also a great back up optic, it puts a very decent piece on good optics in case of a breakdown, especially when traveling, and is small and light. Ever since I started photographing in digital in 2009 and never bothered, the shot I always do, I'm very happy.

Pros: Practicality, color rendering, image stabilization, fast AF

Cons: Recently called on the new 24 MP sensor, dim

Opinion: The best travel rounder for its enormous zoom range and precision AF. It allows you to never change the objective and has an excellent performance especially on DX bodies up to 12MP. On sensors to 24MP starting to be a bit 'soft but always it returns the beautiful images. There are countless situations where it is convenient to have such a wide range of focal lengths not to miss the moment of the shot! And 'better zoom 18-200 for the Nikon mount and much more lightweight and convenient to carry the new 18-300.

Pros: Versatility in practice on the go and just take this and fast and fairly quiet autofocus.

Cons: chromatic aberration, weight, soft construction, the zoom rubber comes off immediately.

Opinion: I mount on a D90 in practice for 6 years, a few times I preferred to others because it is versatile and covers large distances. Sometimes it leaves something to be desired in poor lighting conditions. I use it mostly for travel reasons. Not at all clear to TA but as optical handyman there may be. Price again maybe a bit 'high. However as the I exploited has paid for itself for years.

Pros: Zoom range, ease of use, ability to carry around a single lens while traveling

Cons: Expensive than the competition, distortion at extreme focal

Opinion: Bought a few months ago and used for a trip to America and Mexico has not given me any problems or constructive focus. The build quality as well as the sharpness of the picture is not maximum but could also be in a lens with a zoom range that was born to minimize the camera kit to take back. Slightly expensive if bought new, it introduces distortion and vignetting at wide apertures and / or focal extreme, easily fixed in post. Goal still very comfortable and '' all-rounder ''. Fully satisfied with my purchase while recognizing certain limits in the construction, the cost and the quality optics.

Pros: focal length, focus and silent lightning, stabilizer.

Cons: Price, indecent construction, Unclear.

Opinion: start right away by saying that the 18,105 Nikon is superior in optical quality, bought used at 310 euro does its job as a handyman but if used wisely allows some good shots, very good at f8 and shutter speed 1/320 ... at night you can take thanks to the stabilizer ... the construction is poor the zoom ring too soft with the rubber ring that is dissected constantly ... so if you want high-quality photos in any situation this lens is not for you , if you look for a lens that does everything with dignity can go but the 700 euro worth of new NON them.

Pros: Fast silent compact

Cons: Perhaps the price ...

Opinion: And my lens favorite handyman, has changed upon you egregiame two objectives that possessed 18 70 70 300 nikon pratichamente and use only that but I do not regret the other two, now I no longer 'fear delrncambio lens with the constant danger of' introduction inadvertent hated powder which invariably is deposited on the sensor of my d2x, and the weight from sobbarcarmi e'decisamenterndiminuito. The color rendition and 'great and the vr in its second edition ago' miracles and the shake-I do not know 'more' things'. Fast reliable silent. Really recommend it to everyone.

Pros: Simply perfect for travel dusty and complicated.

Cons: Heavy, soft wide open, expensive.

Opinion: I think 80% of my photos from the past 5 years have been taken with this in mind. For me it is the only option for photography on the go such as in Jordan, India, or Thailand with a backpack and improvised movements. It always shows a good solution for all photographic opportunities by offering flexibility and a focal VRII very efficient. Of course it is never the IDEAL solution but will not lose any opportunity that presents itself on the road to a traveler.

Pros: Focal length and thus the extreme versatility, wide side rnSul good definition;

Cons: Cut to 200mm focal on min. distance of MAF; rnLato Tele a bit 'soft; rnDistorsione extreme wide-angle side; rnQualità constructive general, in relation to the price;

Opinion: Objective "prince" to travel where it is difficult to change lenses all the time. All in all, honest and able to give good results, knowing the limiti.Non possess it more, but in the case of travel "serious" probably would regret, or whatever you would like at least a second corpo.rnL 'autofocus is not lightning and 18 / 20 the distortion is evidente.Inoltre is expensive, after all, but it's the price to pay for such a escursione.Visto closely together with the 18-300, the 18-200 seems to have done better, but compared to the list price, I would have expected something more

Pros: Versatility, good at short focal lengths: 18mm to 70mm, discreet also the magnification in the macro base

Cons: overpriced, shoddy construction, too much play on the outside 200mm

Opinion: Even for me was very comfortable in my travels, always ready for a variety of uses. Do not have happened to me all the "troubles" that have happened to others, but their last trip I made in Burma, was spun the dial filter holder that I fixed with a few drops of attak. For the rest in my opinion is a very good lens that is used carefully (wisely preparing the shot) to great satisfaction in the use of reportage, even in the portraits is not bad but this is a judgment that do not have a lot of preparation in the field .

Pros: Aim to do everything that F8 gives excellent results across the entire zoom.

Cons: Slightly soft wide open vignettoso

Opinion: Quest'obbiettivo, often considered simple lens of kit, despite the wide range of zoom, allows you to carry a bag of lenses with a very low weight while maintaining good quality. Obviously not at the level of the first lenses or zoom professional but weighs half of a 24-70 f2.8. From the constructive point of view stretches too much to maintain good solidity in the front part, the ring of focus is very small and of little use. Despite these little things is a zoom that while ruining easily outwardly remains solid and functional even after years of snowstorms, salt and salt. Mine has now been around the world several times and found himself in unrealistic situations back home healthy and satisfactory picture.
