Nikon 18-200mm AF-S DX VR [What I use]
September 26th, 2008 by Dan BodensteinI was looking for a lens to allow me to go from wide angle landscape shots, to short range zoom. The Nikon 18-200mm VR lens allows me to do that, and provides image stabilization, and fast focus. It is, in my opinion, a perfect All-Around lens for traveling. With a zoom ratio of 11.1x even objects in the distance are within your grasp.

The lens is compact, but yet offers great features and flexibility. If you are traveling and need a single lens for the trip, this is it. The Vibration Reduction feature allows you to take clear shots, while hand-holding the lens. It uses Nikon’s VR II system which offers the equivalent of using a shutter speed 4 stops faster.
Not only is the focusing fast on this lens, it’s quiet. I uses what Nikon calls a Silent Wave Motor. Perfect for nature photography. The lens is DX format, and can be used on FX cameras in DX crop mode. It accepts screw on filters of 72mm, and comes with a flower shaped bayonet hood, and lens cap.
