This is a nicely-preserved example of Nikon's still-excellent 18-200mm VR lens for DX-format camera bodies. The lens appears to have received modest use, evidenced by the condition of its mount, and remains near-new in appearance. Glass is absolutely flawless, optics clean and clear throughout with no trace of internal optical problems such as haze of fungus. The lens' rubber control rings, often a problem on these lenses as they age, are still in excellent condition. Zoom and focus action are still good, and the lens shoots beautifully. AF is quick, near silent, and proved consistently accurate in my testing, and the lens is very sharp, producing crisp, contrasty images throughout its range. Be sure to view the attached photos in the enlarged format, and please feel free to ask any questions prior to purchase.

When new the 18-200mm VR was a groundbreaking lens, and it remains a superb all-around lens for use with any Nikon DX-format camera body.  Unlike its many third-party copiers it is sharp throughout its very impressive zoom range, and the addition of Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) technology greatly improves the lens' versatility when shooting in anything less than bright sunlight.  This lens is capable of making crisp, vibrantly colorful images under an exceedingly broad variety of shooting conditions and is likely the most versatile single lens available once image quality and physical size are taken into consideration. 

Included in this listing is the lens with Nikon front and rear lens caps as shown. This is a US-market lens and is consequently eligible for service by Nikon USA if ever required.
