Designed to be a one-lens solution and weighing in at a scant 19.9 ounces and measuring only 3.8 inches in length, this lens provides an extraordinary (35mm equivalent) picture angle of 27-300mm when mounted on any Nikon DX-format camera such as the new D300s or D3000 D-SLR cameras.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 18-200mm DX f/3.5-5.6 ED VR II Lens:
18mm to 200mm replaces 2 lenses with one. First test pictures were fantastic. Go out to 200mm was way better than the Nikon 70-300mm. The VR feature is incredible, which locked in nicely when doing hand held at 200mm.
