Of late, Nikon unveiled an update of its popular DX-format superzoom in the form of AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 ED VR II. This updated version features a range of advanced features and functionalities.

The 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens covers an extremely wide range of focal lengths and offers excellent versatility for various scenes. The lens comes added with a zoom lock switch to allow photographers secure the lens barrel at its minimum length. In addition, the lens offers superior optical performance. The Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) assures fast and quiet auto-focusing, while the improved ‘Super Integrated Coating’ promises to diminish flare and ghosting.

The Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens is scheduled to be available on sale from September 2009 at recommended retail price of $849.95.
