Himfr.com, one of China's leading B2B search platforms with more than 30 B2B industry websites to its name, evaluates the Nikon 18-200mm VR II lens.
The Nikon 18-200mm VR II is 5,750 yuan.
The lens size for the Nikon 18-200mm VR II is 77x96.5mm (diameter x length); the weight is 565g. Compared to the Nikon D80, the overall coordination is very good, but compared to the Nikon D300S, the lens seems a little small.
Though it has a large 18-200mm zoom lens, the Nikon 18-200mm VR II as a whole is not large, but the body is more solid. Compared to the older model, the 18-200mm VR II has a reduced width of the zoom ring, but there is little change in the feeling of the zoom ring; the basic lens is not capable of automatic zoom.
In addition to CRC close-focus correction, Nano coatings, and DC depth of field control, the Nikon 18-200mm VR II is equipped with almost all of Nikon's lens technology. The 72mm filter diameter is also the same as the old model.
Nikon 18-200mm VR II image stabilization is very effective, not only in the viewfinder screen, but also when shooting fairly slow shutter, so it can maintain ISO values low enough to obtain a better picture quality.
With 1/8 second shutter speed, in an ordinary single-lens reflex camera, even a wide-angle shot is more difficult to take hand-held, while the Nikon 18-200mm VR II can still produce a solid picture in a length of 56mm at 1/8 second shutter speed, which is indeed rare.
Shutter speed can be as fast as 1/13 of a second, but with a lens focal length upgrade to 65mm, the security shutter speed should be 1/100 second.
Using the Nikon 18-200mm VR II hand-held in a low-light shooting environment, to master the correct posture for holding the camera, after half-pressing the shutter button, hold your breath. Such measures can significantly reduce the jitter produced by the body, and the camera can be able to shoot at a slower shutter speed.
Excellent workmanship and materials, super-anti-shake technology, and a relatively decent image quality make the Nikon 18-200mm VR II zoom lens (http://himfr.com/list-product-Electronic_Components_Supplies-09000000-1.html ) a leader among large zoom lenses.
