- A: AnswerThe Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens is completely compatible with the Nikon D3100 camera and is versatile enough to cover a wide range of subjects such as portraits, landscapes and group shots and is about 19.8 ounces (1.23 pounds) in weight. There are lighter lenses like the AF-S DX NIKKOR18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR which is approximately 17.3 ounces (1.08 pounds), however, it may not give you the ease of range that you are looking for in a lens.

Q: QuestionIs this lens good for taking action sports shots from far away?(3 answers)
A: AnswerIt depends on the conditions you will be shooting in.... This has a great zoom range BUT a variable aperture of 3.5-5.6 Unless you're only shooting outdoors in daylight I would take a serious look at an 80-200 full frame lens with a 2.8 aperture which will give you about 2 more stops for light. Say you're shooting a basketball game in a school gym and you're getting a shutter speed of 1/150 with the 5.6 lens you would get 1/600 shutter speed changing to the 2.8 lens. That's the difference between blurred motion and crisp shots. Nikon has one for around $1,000 and another around $2,000 with VR (which you won't use for sports anyway).Answered by Steve
Q: Questiondoes this work with the d750(1 answer)
A: AnswerThe Nikon D750 is compatible with AF-S type G lenses like the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens. However, please note that this lens is a DX-format lens and the D750 is an FX-format camera. When a DX lens is mounted on an FX body, vignetting may occur if Auto DX crop is not enabled. To enable Auto DX crop, go into your Image area options under the Photo Shooting Menu and turn Auto DX crop on. For more information on lens compatibility, please contact Nikon Support.Answered by NikonStaff
- A: AnswerThe Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II Standard Zoom is a beautiful and versatile lens but for the pleasing out-of-focus affect to the background that you are looking for, you will want to get a lens with a fast aperture. Try something like the Nikon AF-S AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Standard Lens which provides complete depth-of-field control for isolating your subject and creating stunning portraits; both full-body and close-up.

Great all around lens
I was seeking a new zoom lens to replace my Nikon 55-200 VRi with my D7100. I didn't really need something wide (have the Tokina 11-20) and the research boiled down to this lens. It has not disappointed. It is a little on the heavy side but I don't mind that because to me it feels more well built than my very light and cheap feeling 55-200 it is replacing. The zoom ring is a bit tight and not consistent throughout the zoom and it will "creep" while you're carrying it unless you engage the handy lock switch. But these aren't huge deals for me. The image quality is very good, especially at higher F stops (8, 11, etc.). It does ok in low light too but of course the 35mm 1.8 or 50mm 1.8 are much better in these cases. I considered the newer 55-200 VRII but gave this a try when I found it on sale at BB. (I lucked out in that one of my local Best Buys was closing and some merchandise that was not going to the newer store was on sale at really good prices). At full price, I would probably say it would not be worth it as 3rd party lenses or the Nikon 55-200 would be a better buy...at least for what I use it for. It is nice to have that wide focal range but you pay for it and it may be quite heavy to use as an all day walk around lens. For the same $ (or most likely less), you can buy the Nikon 35mm or 50mm which give excellent image quality, are cheap, and very lightweight and the Nikon 55-200 which is also light, cheap, and has good image quality.

Can't live without my Nikon 18-200 zoom!
Some people say, I take a lot of pictures, I do. I use the 18-200 zoom on my camera of the day, as my everyday lens! I keep my D5200 at an arms length and this is lens I keep on it, to be ready for anything! The lens also works wonderfully on my D7100, for events such as weddings and high school reunions. This is the one lens, I just can't be without! Great size and weight but the results are the reason it is my main lens!

Great all-purpose lens!
This is truly a great all-purpose lens. I love the 18 inch focal distance and the ability to use wide angle as well as zoom. Using this lens I can truly never miss a shot!
