The one-lens solution — professionally refurbished and ready to go.

This 18-200mm is the lens that means you never have to change glass. Wide angle for group shots and landscapes at 18mm, telephoto reach for portraits and distant subjects at 200mm. It's the original "leave it on the camera and shoot everything" superzoom that made Nikon DX shooters fall in love with simplicity.

I'm the original owner. Professionally refurbished by Phototech and, for all practical purposes, unused since the service.

WHY THIS LENS STILL MAKES SENSE IN 2026:
Travel light. Shoot everything. The 18-200mm VR covers 27-300mm equivalent (perfect walk-around range), focuses fast with the built-in AF-S motor, and delivers sharp images where it matters. It's not the sharpest superzoom ever made, but it's remarkably versatile and practical. Perfect for travel, events, street photography, or any situation where changing lenses means missing the shot.

CONDITION REPORT:
- REFURBISHED BY PHOTOTECH — professionally serviced, cleaned, and calibrated
- OPTICS: Clean glass with no haze, fungus, or scratches
- MECHANICS: Smooth zoom/focus rings, fully functional VR II (4-stop stabilization), fast AF-S operation
- PERFORMANCE: Works perfectly for both stills and video

This is the VR I (original version, 2005-2009) with the classic push-pull zoom design. Covers 18-200mm on DX bodies (D3xxx, D5xxx, D7xxx series). Not the sharpest superzoom ever made, but remarkably versatile and practical. Perfect for travel, events, or anyone who wants to shoot without thinking about focal lengths.

NOTE: Rear cap and original pouch are missing — lens will be carefully packed with protective wrapping for safe shipping. Front cap included.

COMPLETE DX SYSTEM AVAILABLE: Add the D200 body or 18-70mm lens to your order for package pricing — message me for bundle deals.
