Digital camera Review: A Problematic Lens
Summary: 3 Stars
I personally know three people who have owned this lens and been unhappy with it, myself included. Perhaps they are more than a few bad copies of it being sold. The two others migrated to professional lenses. I bought the Nikon 16-85mm prosumer lens which actually has a wider range of fields of view and is certainly sharper, more contrasty and has less distortion at the wide end. I cannot recommend the 18-200m lens. A few reviewers rate this lens on par with the Nikon 16-85mm (probably got excellent copies), but most don't and given the 18-200mm three stars and the 16-85mm four stars. One credible reviewer (photozone.de) flatly says the 16-85mm is the best standard zoom in the DX format. Save your money. Don't buy the 18-200mm and get something else.

Summary of Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S ED VR II Nikkor Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon DX-Format Digital SLR Cameras
New ultra-high ratio zoom lens AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II for use expressly with Nikon DX-format digital-SLR cameras. A number of unique Nikon technologies have been developed for, and applied to, including a high zoom magnification of 11.1x, a Vibration Reduction (VR II) image stabilization system that provides camera shake compensation equivalent to increases in shutter speed by four stops, and a Silent Wave Motor (SWM), as well as a zoom lock switch. Designed expressly for use with Nikon digital-SLR cameras, exceptional image performance is assured. As the compact AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II covers an extremely wide range of focal lengths (18-200mm, equivalent to 27-300mm in 35mm format; a zoom magnification of 11.1x), it offers excellent versatility for various scenes that include portraits and landscapes. The addition of a zoom lock switch allows photographers to secure the lens barrel at its minimum length, eliminating the natural gravitational effect that can draw the barrel downward during transport. This lens offers superior optical performance in a compact size of just 77 x 96.5 mm, despite a high zoom magnification of 11.1x. Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) assures fast and quiet autofocusing. The Vibration Reduction system (VR II) provides camera shake compensation equivalent to increases in shutter speed by four steps. Two Vibration Reduction modes are available.
