It offers a 4.3x zoom with a range of 70-300mm (105-450mm on a DX Nikon D-SLR) and features ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that ensure superior optical performance. This lens incorporates Nikon’s second-generation vibration reduction system (VR II) that allows flexible hand-held shooting by stabilizing the image to the equivalent extent of using a shutter speed that is four stops faster when compared with a conventional lens (as determined by Nikon performance test). The SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and IF (Internal Focusing) ensure fast and quiet focusing action, and the nine-blade rounded diaphragm makes out-of-focus elements blend smoothly to produce natural-looking, harmonious backgrounds.</p>

This lens not only features Nikon&#8217;s exclusive built-in SWM (Silent Wave Motor) for ultra-fast, ultra-quiet operation, but also employs Nikon&#8217;s VR system, which minimizes blur caused by camera shake. The VR system allows the use of slow shutter speeds in dimmer conditions. There is also Active VR mode available, which compensates for the intense vibrations experienced when shooting from a moving motor vehicle, ship or helicopter. This lens delivers superior optical performance thanks to the incorporation of five ED glass elements and high-grade Nikon Super Integrated Coating. The lens also offers a fast constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 at all focal lengths.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-288" title="Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G AF-S DX VR Lens" src="http://www.photogearuser.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/nikon-18-200mm-f35-56-g-af-s-dx-vr-100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="145" />This is an all round 11.1x zoom lens, ideal for dedicated amateurs, and (semi-) professionals to use for countless situations and occasions, such as landscape, architecture, portrait, wedding, wildlife, holidays, expeditions and general travel photography. It is therefore also ideal for news- and press photographers. With a zoom range of 27-300mm (35mm equiv.) the user does not need to carry multiple lenses and therefore can it be seen as the perfect total package. On top of this the lens is equipped with “VR II” the second generation of Nikon’s VR technology that enables the lens to shoot 4 stops slower (instead of 3 stops with the former VR system), ideal for shooting in low light conditions and/or without a tripod. At the time of launch it is the industry’s first VR II lens with 4 stops slower shutter speed.</p>
