Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR - Pros & Cons

extremely accurate and super quiet
vibrant
detail-rich photos and videos across its entire zoom range
renowned quality of construction and outstanding optics
improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake
Build quality is very decent
the focus ring has a fairly generous amount of travel
central sharpness is very good wide open
good consumer lens
quick focus
sharp images
easy to carry
shows excellent performance at all focal lengths
coupled with good design
a very useful zoom range while staying light and compact
higher overall IQ and better sharpness levels overall
more attractively priced and more resistant to extreme conditions
The inner barrel extend smoothly with no detectable wobbling
Continuous AF was also competent for such a long zoom range
Optical performance was also rather good

6G ED VR also lacks an aperture ring
an AF-S lens
lacked the VR image stabilization of its siblings
disappointingly high levels of chromatic aberration
chromatic aberration is noticeable in the extreme corners at all apertures
The corners are less sharp than the center and stopping down barely helped
vignetting at maximum aperture
light flecks and flares are visible
there was still no firmware update available for this lens
this lens should not be used on cameras with FX sensors
The viewfinder image will be similarly cropped
the lens is not actually weatherproof
this lens lacks an aperture ring
slight darkening of the corners and edges of the frame
apertures diffraction takes quite a toll on image sharpness
get quite as sharp as the lens it replaces
the lens has a rather long focus throw
focus and focal length collars turn somewhat tightly
Anyway 600 USD is not fair price for that lens
blurry mess of a lens

Nikon Nikkor 18-140mm f3.5-5.6 ED VR lens review: Accessible, portable and high performance

In our recent round up of lenses for the high-resolution 24PMix Nikon D7100 we revealed that the earlier Nikkor 18-135m f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED ‘super-zoom’ was the best of its type. We’ve now had the opportunity to analyze the optical performance of its successor, the new stabilized Nikkor 18-140mm f3.5-5.6 ED VR model. Read on to see how well the combination performs.
