AF-S DX 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens

Excellent quality lens. It is the sharpest I have ever owned. The item was delivered quickly and in perfect condition. I will certainly consider the supplier for future purchases.

First things first I'm just a someone who likes taking photos and having large prints done of the ones I like best. I know there not technically brilliant but I like them. I've been using this lens on a D7100 and D3100 but mostly the D7100. I've given this lens 5 stars not because it's the best lens optically or the lightest or anything like that, but in the month I've been using it it's just been the right tool for the job and I love the pictures it's been giving me. As other people have said it's a great all day lens. I have a Nikon 55-200 and was never really happy with the shots it took, they where always just sort of OK and I never used it at 200mm as the picture quality was horrible. So I swallowed hard and ordered the 18-140 and as I said I'm very happy with the results. For me it takes an ace picture. It's quite a hefty beast and fitted on the D7100 it's not a light weight package but I've walked up lots of mountains in the month I've had it and not had a problem. The fitting was surprisingly tight on the camera. Everything works as advertised and the VR seems to work lots better than the 55-200. The zoom action is quite stiff but there's no creep in the mechanism. My only minor gripe is with Nikon, for what this lens costs you'd think there would be a lens bag included. Other than that well recommended.

I bought this Nikon 18-140mm lens to replace my previous 18-105mm lens which I'd lost. I read several reviews from various websites, some of whom preferred the 18-105 lens, some of whom preferred this lens. The bottom line is unless you're the sort of person who takes the same image using various lenses, lays them side by side and studies them in minute detail looking for imperfections....unless you're that sort of person, you're never going to know the difference. The only thing that put me off buying this lens initially was the price. The 18-105mm is available for around £190. The 18-140mm costs over £400. However, I noticed one seller on here (RYH Deals UK) was selling the 18-140mm for £215. I was a little reluctant at first, not knowing if it would turn out to be a grey import or if it was genuinely a Nikon lens. In the end I went for it, and it arrived within 3 days, in genuine Nikon packaging, with a genuine Nikon warranty....Bargain! In my opinion, having used the 18-140mm lens for about a month now, it's just as good as the 18-105mm, with a bit of extra zoom which comes in handy. If you're looking for a genuine Nikon, general purpose, zoom lens, you won't go wrong with this one....IF the price is right.

My usual walkabout lens is Nikkor 16-85 VR DX. It is a very good lens but I always wanted a bit longer range. I tried a few different superzooms (Nikkor 18-200, Sigma 18-200 and Tamron 18-270) but was not quite happy with their image quality. I ended up purchasing this Nikkor 18-140 VR DX lens and now I have an opportunity to compare it to my 16-85.. My first impression of this 18-140 lens is very positive. It is as sharp as my 16-85 on my D7000 camera. Photos taken with the 16-85 have a little bit more contrast but the difference is almost not noticeable. I made a few portraits with this lens and they look good enough to me too - the background is nicely thrown out of focus at f/5.6-6.3 when I zoom in from a distance. (It is not a substitute for a 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4 prime but will do just fine when traveling light). I ordered my 18-140 lens from InternetCamerasDirect on Amazon Marketplace.The lens arrived promptly. The only issue is that this lens looks very much like a grey import and the warranty card was not in the box. So you get what you pay for - no UK or European warranty but 30% cheaper than the high street price. Update July 2014: Bokeh - I mentioned above that the background was thrown nicely out of focus - well, in some cases it is not quite true, for example, when the background is a tree with not very dense leaves, so the sky is visible though it. But hey, I should not expect that much from lens in this price range, should I? It is not the 24-70 f/2.8 after all!

This is a "good" buy for what it is but don't be fooled it has one big down side to it, although the range of the lens is fantastic the quality of it is rather poor to the point that when i got it i would have and did say "it is a perfect all round lens that should be in everyones bag", but after a good deal of time using it my point of view has now changed to "why even bother using it" a good 60% of photos i take with this a ruined due to the lens being so blurry. I really don't know what to say about it sometimes it can work fine putting out a 6.5/10 quality picture over say my nikkor 40mm and then other times it wont even push 3/10. In the 18mm range it reaches the higher range of its quality "depending on light level" and when in the 140mm range it's more closer to the 3/10 mark, if i could get a refund on this i probably would, the only reason in my mind to buy it is that its got a good focal range for its price.

Perfect. Delivered on time, in perfect condition. A great lens, too good for my capabilities!

I have a Nikon D5300 and the kit lens was an 18-55mm which was a great starter. I use my D5300 for photography but also videography and this is the lens that Nikon recommend for a number of reasons. It has not disappointed! It is a lot heavier than the 18-55mm for obvious reasons but with the D5300 it is still half the weight of a full frame camera with the equivalent lens. It has been a total game changer for me. The value for money is great, as other reviewers have said you could get an 18-200 or even 300mm but the price increment is significant and as I don't have £££ to spend I have this lens and a 35mm f1.8 for the price of an 18-200. Whenever I leave the house with my camera the 18-140mm lens is always on and I have not yet found a situation that is not workable with it. Love It!!

Excelente objetivo de la marca nikon. Tiene un rango focal muy bueno. El 18 te permite sacar fotografías panorámicas excelentes descontando el tema del factor de multiplicación de las réflex no FF que le hace convertirse en un 27mm. En el extremo contamos con un 140mm que con factor de recorte pasamos a un 210mm. Perfecto para sacar fotos desde una buena distancia aprovechando el factor sorpresa y sacando lo mejor en fotos sobre todo en tema de retratos con unos desenfoques muy buenos. El enfoque es súper silencioso y rápido, muy rápido. Muy suave en los giros y con un estabilizador óptico que incluso en condiciones de poca luz permite sacar fotografías sin trepidación. Es un excelente objetivo vio a un precio ridiculo para la calidad que ofrece.

Excellent produit avec un service impeccable

C'est objectif est bien compatible . Fonctionne bien . satisfait .

Arrived from Amazon in good time, fully boxed and warranted, perfect condition. Straight onto the camera (Nikon D7200) and out taking pin-sharp photos in no time. The focal length is a dream, great for landscapes, portraits, and almost any day to day photography. I'm thinking this lens will be my defacto kit for the D7200 going forward and i am incredibly impressed with its performance, even more so considering how little it cost. Love it.

Buen lente zoom para cámaras Nikon de formato DX (no apto si tu cámara es de formato FX o Full Frame), que te permite buenas fotos en formato gran angular para tus fotos de paisaje o de grupos de personas y un zoom adecuado para la mayoría de los casos, donde deseas capturar con mayor detalle un objeto o persona más lejano. Por lo que con este lente, evitarás estar cargando un gran angular, un lente para retrato como un 50 mm o telefoto o zoom y con la desventaja de tener que cambiar constantemente de lentes, cargarlos todo el tiempo y exponer el interior de tu cámara al polvo cada vez que cambias de lente. Su calidad y distancia focal es mucho mejor que los lentes que suelen venir con las cámaras de gama de entrada como el Nikkor 18-55 mm. Este 18-135 mm aunque no es un lente de gama alta, sí se nota de mejor calidad que los que se incluyen con las cámaras de gama de entrada como la D5000. Aunque no es un lente luminoso (sensible a la baja luminidad) el que incorpore un estabilizador de vibración (VR) te permitirá tomar fotos a mano alzada (sin tripié) con menos luz y que no te salgan movidas o borrosas. No es un lente pesado, pero tampoco liviano. Considero que tiene el peso ideal para que combinado con el peso de tu cámara, sea estable al tomar tus fotos ya que una cámara/lente lijeros aunque cansa menos cargarlos, son más inestables. La longitud del lente no es demasiada como con otros lentes zoom o telefotos. Viene en su caja original, con su manual, su garantía del fabricante, tapa frontal y posterior. Se hecha de mano la ausencia del parasol y de una funda para guardar mejor protegido el lente cuando no se le usa.
