Nikon - AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Standard Zoom Lens - Black
- Key Specs
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Nikon DX
- Lens Type: All-in-One Zoom
- Minimum Focal Length: 18 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 300 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/5.6 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

- Minimum Focal Length: 18 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 300 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- Minimum Focus Distance: 18 inches
- Maximum Aperture: f/5.6 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Minimum Aperture: f/3.5 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Focal Length 35mm Film Equivalent: 18 - 300 mm (The focal length of the lens that provides the same field of view as a 35mm film camera.)
- Constant Aperture: false (Has a fixed aperture (typically expressed in f-numbers), which means the barrel of the lens does not extend or retract when the focal length changes.)

A: The one main difference between these two AF-S 18-300mm lenses is the weight; the Product 2216 (f/3.5-6.3G) lens is 19.6 ounces as compared to the Product 2196 (f/3.5-5.6) lens, which is 29.3 ounces. This is because there are more elements in the Product 2196 lens than in the Product 2216 lens which improve the user experience. In addition there is a focus distance indicator on the lens barrel of Product 2196 along with an extra setting option for Vibration Reduction. To learn more about differences in lens types please contact Nikon Support.
A: The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens (Product 2196) listed here does have some differences from the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR lens (Product 2216). One of the differences is weight; the 18-300mm (Product 2196) lens listed here is 29.3 ounces while the Nikon 18-300mm (Product 2216) lens is a lighter 19.6 ounces. This is because there are more elements in the listed (Product 2196) lens than with the 18-300mm (Product 2216) lens. Another difference is that the AF-S 18-300 (Product 2196) has second generation Vibration Reduction technology that allows it to have exceptional sharpness with approximately 3.5 stops as compared to the AF-S 18-300 (Product 2216), which has approximately 4 stops. Both lenses can provide amazing images and each is completely compatible with the Nikon D3400 DSLR. To learn more about the differences between these lenses please contact Nikon Support.
Q: Is the 18-300 prone to "lens creep" like the 18-200?
A: The 18-300mm lens is not prone to zoom creep. It has a zoom lock that prevents the lens from extending under its own weight while the camera is being carried from place to place.
Q: is this lens fully compatible with a d500?
A: Yes, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens is fully compatible with the D500.
A: The 18-300mm 5.6 uses a 77mm filter, the 18-300mm 6.3 uses a 67mm filter. Not a question of old or new but the 5.6 lens is a larger diameter and uses a 77mm filter compared to the smaller diameter 6.3 lens which uses a 67mm filter.
Q: Is this lens compatible with Nikon 850D?
A: undefined
Q: When will you be getting in more of the Nikon 2196 lens?
A: undefined
A: The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Standard Zoom is an amazing lens that provides ultra-fast, ultra quiet autofocusing and has a vast array of elements and groupings for remarkable image capture. This DX-format lens will provide excellent quality when attached to the Nikon D850 DSLR FX-format camera, however, you will experience a 1.5 image crop. For a lens choice that will allow you to the get quality images without a 1.5 DX crop try looking into FX lenses like the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5 -5.6G ED VR Standard Zoom or the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED. To learn more about DX crop please contact Nikon Support.
