Zoom Test: AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR
Ғылым және технология
An ultimate zoom test for the ever versatile and outstanding
AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR.
Please don't get us wrong and compare this to a prime lens, of course it won't match it's performance, but having an all-in-one zoom in one lens saves you from changing lens from time to time.
We also love Nikon P900 and P1000 with its incredible zooming capabilities, but those "Bridge" camera's sensors were way small than a DSLR, hence you can get a lot from this lens.

You’re mostly welcome. All the best to your photography journey.
I saw the focusing struggling in the max zoom in the beginning. Is the rotating ring smooth enough while zooming? Hope to have low light test.
This is a marvellous travel lens and I have used it for 3 years getting some great shots.

You’re absolutely right mate, this is my to-go travel lens as well. Portraits are pleasing especially when zoomed from 200-300mm.

Bro yes it’s made in China, it’s not as smooth though to zoom from 18-300mm but you’ll get used to it. Saves me time on switching between my 2 prime lens 35mm f/1.8 and 85mm f/1.8. Been using for more than a year now, and had given me tack sharp photos. Have a look at my website www.onesimusrileyphotography.com and click the link of my Flckr accnt there and under the group 18-300mm. All the best for you mate.

Can you compare this with Tamron 400 mm ...in lens 18 - 400 mm category
Awesome! Thank You!
Hi One Riley, Superb fantastic video. Both your video and photo captured of zooming test were very helpful and useful for my decision on purchasing this Nikon len. I just bought a used Nikon D5. I was searching for this len for my travel use and my product photo shot in my house. A very good nice example of what this AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR len can do. I most probably be getting this lens for my holiday travel. Like and Subscribed to your Channel. Thank you.

Thank you for that @Peter Tan. You have a very good camera. All the best on your photography journey.
I have read in few posts that the clarity of this lens doesn't match with the kit lens 70-300mm. Is that true ??
Hi, is there really a play when you zoom out to 300mm? I find mine having a play when maxed out. Thanks

Hi mate, never experienced any of those "play" issues, everything seems fine even at the longest focal length of 300mm, just make sure VR is ON. This 18-300mm comes in 2 version, the 1st one with distance indicator and goes up to f/5.6 at 300mm and this one at f/6.3, which one is your copy? or if you're shooting video handheld, make sure that your hand is steady or at least on a tripod. All the best.
Hola. excelente video. Que lente me recomendarías en cuanto a calidad de imagen. El 55-200, 70-300 o 18-300 Yo tengo una d5500 Gracias

70-300 is the sharpest, but if you want convenience, the 18-300mm is the way to go. 😀

@@andres.hammoe excerpt from Ken Rockwell Versus the old 18-300mm The original 18-300 VR is much bigger and heavier, and more expensive. I'd forget about it. It adds a focus distance scale, and that's about its only benefit. This new lens is less expensive, smaller and lighter, while the old lens is a big heavy beast you'll not want to carry everywhere around your neck. Versus the 18-200mm VR The 18-200 VR DX is about the same size and weight, but only goes to 200mm. It's an older lens. Versus the 28-300mm FX The 28-300mm VR lens is much bigger and heavier and only goes to 28mm. Don't use it on DX; it's designed for FX, so it's much bigger and heaver to cover the larger FX format. Forget it for use with DX cameras.
HI, thanks for the review. This was very usefull. I have few queries, kindly respond. 1. Did you use tripod to take the pics ? Can we take handheld pics at 300mm with VR support or Tripod is a MUST, 2. does this lens work on D5200 Nikon?. Thanks

You’re welcome mate. Thanks for watching, to answer your questions: 1. All of them are handheld at 300mm, depends if it’s very windy but the VR seems to do the job well. If you’re gonna use it for photography, handheld at high shutter speed 1/400 above will work, maybe lower if you have steady hands. If you’re shooting video, yup tripod is a must. 2. I’m pretty sure it will work with D5200 without any issues at all. All the best

0:49 shows distortion at 18mm and little dark at the corner.
I came for the photos...I stayed for the music. On a serious note, it would be more helpful to show the aperture as well as the zoom. I’m interested in the depth of field.

Lol mate, yup the music is kinda engaging. Re the aperture yes that’s my initial plan but it ended up as minimalistic as possible so that the attention will just focus on the subject, but might consider including those with the upcoming videos.

@@OneRiley Kia Ora ! I am just watching this test and the sceneries looks suspiciously similar to ones in my phone and than Cape Reinga and i go wow! That must be from here and sure it is. My friend gave me her Nikon D5200 and as I had ages ago the D5100 and liked it for my big hands I am in a hunt for a nice telelens. This seems nice but quite pricy... I wonder if the sigma 18-300 or Tamron 18-270 would do the same job :) Cheers

It will mate, it’s an AF-S lens so it has silent wave motor inside the lens.
Да, в этом плане выигрывают суперзумы с маленькими матрицами, увеличение значительно больше. У меня есть canon sx530, на увеличении 50x луна занимает больше половины фотографии.
Cool

For me this lens is not a good option, I bought it thinking that i will have not the best experience but it will be ok and for my trips should be the best option, but i have to say that i really hate it, no definition, the sky always appears white, big distorsion from 18-35mm, I have now it on my D7500 and im trying to sell it and go for the 18-200m

fermode what camera settings do you use? I usually use CPL filter for skies. Yup, generally all lens on it’s widest focal length has distortion which you can always correct in post-processing. I’ve used this lens for more than a year and had some great shots (see www.onesimusrileyphotography.com). But when i’ve upgraded my camera, i sold it. I’m currently using tokina 11-16mm, nikkor 16-80 f/2.8-4, nikkor 70-200 f/4, nikkor 85mm f/1.8. All the best for you mate.
