Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR - Nikon F Mount

This high-magnification superzoom is designed specifically for Nikon DX-format (APS-C) DSLRs, offering a 16.7x zoom range equivalent to 27-450mm on full-frame. It features Vibration Reduction (VR) technology to compensate for camera shake and three aspherical and ED glass elements to maintain sharpness across the zoom range. Its compact design makes it a practical single-lens solution for travel and general-purpose photography. Used examples should be checked for zoom creep, though the locking switch at 18mm prevents this during transport. The VR system should engage and disengage silently without jumping the image in the viewfinder. SDS inspects the zoom mechanism for smoothness, as the multiple extending barrels are prone to collecting grit. The front element should be clear of scratches, as the lens is often used without a filter.
