71 Portrait Score
18-300mm f/3.5 Nikon F (DX) IS
Why we recommend this ▼

Covering an 18-300mm focal length (a 16.7x zoom) with Vibration Reduction, this lens pairs stabilized telephoto and wide-angle reach in one optic for Nikon DX DSLRs. Its near-silent AF-S motor and ED glass elements deliver quick focus and reduced color fringing while keeping the all-in-one build to 830g. Best for hobbyist Nikon DX users wanting a single-lens solution for daylight travel, family outings, and casual wildlife shooting without lens swaps.
