Nikon 18-200 Lens - Review w/ Sample Shots (Photo Adventure)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- I took a photo adventure and decided to pair my entry level Nikon D3400 my Nikon 18-200 zoom lens (f/3.5-f/5.6). The 18-200 range offers great versatility and solid optics ... lots of fun to shoot!:) Regardless of your camera body (Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic, etc.), consider a wide range zoom lens if you are short on space and want to stay with one lens.

Based partly on this video I purchased this lens and I love it! The price is reasonable for the original VR lens and I've already decided that it will be my 'walkaround' lens. I also have a battery back with the main advantages being the wider grip plus a remote shutter release. The extra width of the grip makes a huge difference in the 'balance' of this lens/D5600 combo. Thanks again for the great videos- I re-run yours all the time as they remind me of things I've forgotten plus they give me an incentive to get out there and 'have some fun.'
Thanks for the post/feedback and agree - this is a great walkaround lens! I have used the same for many years and it stays on my camera most most of the time:).
Bought this lens a few years back and no regrets. It is nice to carry just one lens, especially when you're out hiking. So glad you put in the safety message. Whether you're going out alone, or in a group of two or three, always let someone know where your going, and when you expect to be back. Think too many people expect WiFi from their phones to show their location, but in many places, there is none. Great video!
Thanks for the post/feedback Christy!:) When I first started using the lens, I rarely switch it from the body - a great all around lens. I plan to review the 18-140 in the next few days and will release a video shortly after ... curious to see how it performs in the wild as I head back to the mountainous area for some backcountry camping:). Safety is key and you are correct - many people rely too heavily on their cell phones. Cell coverage in the backwoods is nonexistent for the most part.
Have learned a lot from this channel. Everything is discussed in 'real world' and all the technical mambo jumbo is reduced to simple and easily understood notes. Excellent!!!
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
I'm at work right now well (home working) but really busy got this notification and started watching but i cannot too much going on and saving this for later when i can just relax and watch. Thats right just to relax and watch your videos thats what i do. Thank you sir! Wooohhooo another Nikon D3400 love it and also want to mention i really love your videos coz not just taking informative but i learn a lot from your videos love the music learn some techniques from you and all that... Thank you so much...
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Sounds like you have the right idea - relax and enjoy ... life is short, enjoy the ride as everyday is a blessing:).
On my lunchbreak from work now and continuing watching this video cant stop myslef haha cant wait. Wow that river of clouds... Awesome pictures!!!
Thanks for the post and glad to provide some relief from the daily work/grind!:) Ahhhh yes, the sea of clouds as the sun started to set and the morning fog were awesome ... truly a moment to stop and reflect:).
great shots as usual Mark! 👍 you're an insipiration to us amateurs! 😁
Thanks for the post/feedback Michael and glad to be of help/inspiration!:)
you are such a kind person.....thanks for everything!
Love your videos and always gives us the great feeling of not having expensive cameras..👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for the post and glad to inspire!:) Great shots are not about the gear, rather they are about the photographer behind the equipment:). A bit of know and experience will go a long with entry level equipment.
Love the fact that you concentrate your teachings using an entry level camera. Have owned a D5300 for 3 years now and recently purchased a D7200. Both awsome cameras and with the D5300 having the swivel screen I have all my options covered. They certainly work very well side by side!. Thanks for another very informative presentation. (:>)
Glad to be of help!:)
I'm always just curious of people's thoughts who dislike this or that video. In particular this one, which is truly great.
Thanks for the post Victor and at times I wonder the same:).
Another Enjoyable and interesting video Mark, with just enough emphasis on keeping the fun, safe!
Appreciate the feedback Steve!:) Plan another trip this weekend using the 18-140 which I have never used before and should be entertaining ... stay tuned:).
Good stuff, as always! I have the 18-140mm lens (which is great to travel with), so I would've loved to see a bit more of those fully zoomed out pics, just to see how this particular lens performs at 200mm.
Ahhhh yes, the 18-140 is a good/solid lens as well ... hmmmm - may see if I can get my hands on one:).
I recently got my new Tamron 18-200mm VC recently last Friday. I love it. I did try some shots and test. It came out very sharp
Great to hear Tiffanny!:) I really like the Tamron 18-200 as well ... shot with one for many years:).
Another wonderful video! Great tips, great shots, and the music! 👌🏻👏🏻
This is still a great lens after being introduced years ago. My wife and I are traveling to Machu Picchu this fall and I will carry this lens as well as two kit lenses for backups. I am going to use my Nikon 7500 which is my favorite Nikon cropped sensor camera of all time. I own the Z50 but I feel that the D7500 is the superior camera for stills and the D7500 will have better battery life. Thanks for your review!
Thanks for the post Stan:). Machu Picchu seems like a great place for photos - enjoy the trip and stay safe:). I shot with the 18-200 for many years and continue to leverage the lens. It is a great all around lens in my opinion and the D7500 body is solid as well ... a great combination:).
@@RealWorld Thanks!
Just traded in my 18-105 (which I also bought used) for the 18-200. Looks like a good quality lens and looking forward to using it.
enjoy the lens - it was my main all around lens for many years:).
This is also my favourite lens! 😊👍 Using it with my D7500.
Ahhh yes, I used on my older D7000 as well ... like the 7000 series:)
These photos are amazing!
Not feeling the need to switch is why I mostly have my Sigma attached, until I want some up close macro shots. Then I turn over to the Nikon Macro lens.
Nice pictures btw, very vibrant 👍
Thanks for the post/feedback and agreed:)
Really nice video (and photos), I appreciate all the work you put into making these videos, I’m sure it’s not easy. I have to tell you that my favorite photograph is the “mini waterfall”. Stay safe.
Thanks for the post/feedback Enrique:). At times I question if I should bring gear to record photo adventures especially when backcountry camping given the extra weight and various challenges, but then I consider others who may not have the opportunity to get out or may want a bit of inspiration, etc. Regardless, it is good to get out and relax/unwind:).
I have this lens on my D500 and it focuses fast and accurate. Thanks for the video.
Your vids are very helpful and like the style and great speaking voice!
is the 18-300 much better? or worth the extra reach in terms of usable/quality of image at 300mm?
Much prefer the background music in this video to some of your other ones. It's a very minor detail though, in otherwise very enjoyable and informative videos. I've owned this lens for quite some time and it has never let me down yet. Thanks.
Your videos are always a delight.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:)
Great video... Really enjoyed pics.. Thanks
Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing!
I been binge watching your channel last few days but subscribed a long while ago, great content and tried your iso 100, aperture priority on the moving water with the variable ND filter and got some great pics 👍
Thanks for the post/feedback Bill!:)
Thanks for this great video (and photos!), and thanks for your emphasis on taking pictures, not on numbers and graphs. I’ve been thinking about getting this lens for my D5500. I just noticed that Nikon has this lens on their Refurbished page, and am heading there now. Thanks again for a very enjoyable (and helpful) 10 minutes.
Thanks for the post Richard and glad to be of help!:) This is a great lens to pair with the D5500 - enjoy and be safe!:)
I liked it❤️. You take a lot of effort to make such videos
Another great video. Thanks & stay safe.
As always....great video!
please upload regularly
You are a wonderful teacher.... Thank you
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
I use a D3400 in sports auto mode in a low light setting for my daughter's dance productions on an inside stage. I need to take multiple pictures in bursts and moving quickly from one side of the stage to the other. Also in blue and pink low-lighting at times. Someone had mentioned a 18-200 lens might work. Do you think it might work for this situation?
the 18-200 will offer more versatility, however the aperture will not open as wide as a fixed lens. this is not a huge issue in my opinion as you can increase the ISO to compensate when shooting indoors:).
So my first thought during your intro was, did he do that in one take? Lol! Love the images as always, especially the ones at the stream/creek 7:44. Thanks for including the information for the song Jello. I like it so much that I was going to ask about it if you had not already posted the info. I went directly to Amazon and ordered Jello. Then I went to the band's UA-cam channel and listened to the other tunes on the Charlie album. I went back to Amazon and order the remaining songs. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) LOL - you might get a good laugh at the various video clips I did not include. Sometimes I nail it on the first take and others not so much:). I stumbled over the band and liked their music so I reached out to them for permission to use various tracks ... they were very cool/easy to work with and have a unique sound which I like as well:).
@@RealWorld :-) Glad you stumbled upon the band and was able to share their very mellow smooth vibe. It is not so common these days to find an album where each song is listenable. Have a great rest of your week!
Brilliant! Now I'm searching eBay for an 18-200mm!! Oh, and I bought and downloaded Jello by the Palms. That tune complimented your video perfectly! I wouldn't want to slip like Othello (sounds like I wouldn't want to slip like a fellow - sepecially on those rocks) :-)
LOL - yes indeed!:) I exchanged messages with the band to obtain permission to use their music - super nice and easy going ... awesome/unique sound and think they will do well going forward:). eBay is a good source for gear - remember to conduct your diligence on any used gear (i.e. ask questions, etc.).
Thanks for the valuable inputs.
Does the lens have a built in autofocus? Because the camera doesn't have one.
agreed and yes - this lens does have AF
Relatively New to Photography world & learnt a lot about Skills by watching your insightful informative videos.... Good thing about you is you still in new videos prefer to use Basic model ... this helps people like us to learn more thank you & keep the good work going....
would like to get small suggestion regarding lens i own kit lens 18-55 & 70-300 ... Basically into Travel photography & Portraits & in plan to buy a Better lens confused with AF-S G 50mm & 18-300 ... which one would be better for upgrade..... I own 5600d
Glad to be of help!:) The 18-300 and fixed 50 serve two different purposes. The 18-300 is more flexible as it offers a wide zoom range, however the fixed 50 is great for portraits and any other need to leverage a wide aperture. If you do not mind swapping lenses between the 18-55 and 70-300, I might lean towards the fixed 50 although this means you may need to carry 3 lenses with you:).
Awesome video and commentary 👌
Haha just realized you are actually talking about the kit lens on the last part of the video thats exactly what i meant switching both kit lenses... I want that lens
is this good for moving object? like a running motorcycle?
the aperture is relatively standard but should be fine for moving objects. if you have the aperture open all the way and need a faster shutter speed to freeze motion, increase the ISO.
@@RealWorld thank you 🙂
I'm torn between this and the 18-140! what one do you prefer?
Thanks for this nice video and great photos.
great safety advices I hope everyone will take seriously.
I got the same lens on D7100. perfect combination. great results. best money for the value.
Hi!. Where is that amazing place? Wow, really beautyful!
ty ... this was take at Red River Gorge in the great state of KY:)
i've been having an autofocus problem with this lens, the manual focus works but the autofocus doesn't, anyone know what to do?
hmmm - check the connections and ensure they are clean, etc. do you have AF problems with other lenses?
Hi another great video, keep them coming! I'm weighing up between the 18-200mm & 18-300mm and have watched both your videos and still can't decide, which would you purchase based on your experience? I have the D3400 & D300 love both these cameras. Thanks from Norfolk UK
Thanks for the post/feedback/question Richard:). I really like the 18-200 and have lots of history/experience with the range/lens. Nonetheless, if wanted more range, I would consider the Nikon 18-300 ( ua-cam.com/video/L39XrmNIpCw/v-deo.html ), however if I were considering the 18-300, I would take a strong look at the Tamron 18-400 ( ua-cam.com/video/CfDfu8sK-o0/v-deo.html ). The 18-400 is a solid lens and offers great zoom - it feels solid/great in the hands. If it were me and I wanted a greater zoom range, I might lean towards the 18-400:).
From the reviews I have seen the Tamron 18-400mm lens is pretty rubbish it would seem. I do not have that lens and have never used it. Just going by the reviews
A very nice video and photos!! You definitely put a lot of thought and effort into it!! I have a 15 year old 18-200 but it needs to be repaired so my thoughts are do I buy another 18-200 or the 18-300?
Best of luck in your photography journey!!
Duane
Hi there,what would you choose between 18-140 and 18-200?or the nikon 18-300.my preference is best image quality zoom lens
all are nice, however I would consider the Tamron 18-400 - ua-cam.com/video/CfDfu8sK-o0/v-deo.html ... the 18-400 provides more range, solid construction, and sharp results:).
@@RealWorld Thank you Sir,I will buy Tamron 18-400 then,thank you
Thanks for this. It videos are always so educational. I use a D3200, but I can always safely follow along.
Would u recommend this lens for travel photography?
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Yes, this would make a great all around travel lens, however I plan to review the 18-140 in the next few days and plan to have a video released shortly after. The 18-140 is a staple zoom and feels lighter ... I have never shot with the lens so I am curious to see how it performs in the wild:).
I'll be waiting for it. Thanks
Hello. I have a Nikon d3300 and a Nikon 50mm 1.8g and a Nikon 55-200mm Vr2. I miss something wider at the bottom. Sometimes I take photos at birthdays, sometimes in an amateur studio. I would like to buy a nikon 18-200mm vr. Will it be as good at longer focal length as the Nikon 55-200? I usually use 100mm to 200mm focal lengths for portraiture. I need something wider for special occasions. Will switching from 55-200 to 18-200 be good. I don't want to invest in a few lenses. I would have 18-200mm as a walking lens + 50mm 1.8g for a portrait. What's your opinion? Thanx
Thanks for the post/question:). I ran with the 18-200 as my main lens for many years and carried my fixed 50 f/1.8 in my bag ... this is a GREAT combination in my opinion and works very well:). I would do the same today, however my 18-200 is not working 100%:). Is is worth upgrading/switching from the 55-200 to the 18-200? Yes:). If you want a bit more range, I also like the Tamron 18-400 ... I created a review vid here which might be helpful: ua-cam.com/video/CfDfu8sK-o0/v-deo.html
Does this lens goes with nikon d5600?
yes - this is a great lens that fits perfect on the D5600 :)
And take ya a side arm, you never know anymore! Great video!
whats the sweet spot for this lens in terms of focal length and aperture ? I just got my 18-200mm and the images are quite soft at max zoom
The shutter sounds almost like my Olympus E-1...😅😅😅
thank you so much for your video. Does this lens have curving problem (at the edge) at 18 mm, like the problem in 18-300mm f/3.5-6.5 lens?
Glad to be of help!:) Yes, this has some optical distortion but it's not too bad ... all zooms have optical distortion although some are worse than others. Typically, the greater the zoom, the greater the distortion when operating at the extremes.
@@RealWorld thanks a lot for your advice and guide
Such a cutie omg
Hi , Can you do a video on the nikon 10-20 DX ultra wide lens for landscapes... ? I consider to purchase it as an addition to my collection. all my lenses starts at 18mm or prime lenses 35mm & 50mm. camera nikon d500 .
Ahhhhh yes, I like the Nikon 10-20 and will see if I can get my hands on one ... tested in the past but never fully put it through the paces:).
I am currently using the Canon 77d and a Sigma 18-200mm but am going to get a full frame Nikon 600d. I was wondering which lens you would recommend that is similar to my sigma. Budget minded all purpose lens
The Nikon 28-300 is a solid full sensor comparison to the 18-200 on a crop sensor, however it is a bit pricey:). Keep in mind that lenses tend to hold their value so the total cost of ownership is not known until you sell the lens down the road (if you choose to sell:)). amzn.to/3o8h8nm
Have you taken the majority these photos with HDR ? Could you confirm that at least the one at 3:20 was in that mode (HDR)? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the post/question:). No HDR:). All shots were taken in RAW and post processed to some extent in Lightroom.
nice trip dude
4:24 - ваууууууу. Где можно скачать это фото в оригинальном качестве?
Did you break your battery cover? Awesome shots so beautiful. I just finished three days in the BWCA in MN with my Z50.
I actually bought the camera without the door:). It was a display model and the last one in stock. The offered a great deal on the display/kit and I took it:). I thought to get a new door but never got around to it:). How was the BWCA? That is a far trip north for me:).
@@RealWorld amazing fall colors and pristine undeveloped wilderness. It's worth the long haul. It's an easy 4 hour drive from where I reside in Minneapolis.
I am waiting to buy Nikon D5600
I have two options
Nikon D5600+ Nikor 18-55mm AF-P + Nikor AF-P 70-300mm
OR
Nikon D5600+ Nikor 18-140mm AF-S
both has same price, help me if AF-S has any advantage for taking photos(not interested in videos)
The AF-P is Nikon's silent AF system which works great when shooting video. If you do not plan to shoot video or do not care much about AF sound, the AF-S lens is fine.
Thanks! Have you noticed any significant difference between 18-200 VR and VR II ?
i have not although i have not fully compared the two:)
@@RealWorld Having watched the video I grabbed an 18-200 VR. A nice solution for a photojournalist or traveller with a really descent quality. And yet, the duo 17-55 / 2.8 (one&only!) and 55-200 will stay in my backpack quite often. Thanks again!
I want to try to take a picture of the moon tonight I got a Nikon 5600 with kit lens 18-55 75x300 can you give me settings to start with thank you
This might be a bit late depending on your time zone:). The 300 is good but you might need a 2x teleconverter to get even closer to the moon. I might suggest the following settings/setup to start: sturdy tripod, manual mode, ISO 100 (feel free to move up to 200 or 400), 1/40 of sec, and open the aperture as wide as you can:). I took a shot of moon using the P1000 ... you can see the settings on the shot as well (here is a link directly to the image of the moon - ua-cam.com/video/gkRt6cTv3lg/v-deo.html (pause it and take a closer look)). Enjoy and have fun!:)
What is crop factor?
this might be of some help - ua-cam.com/video/cWps3FFz5ug/v-deo.html
Where you generally focuses in landscape photography and how you decide aperature for getting sharpest images sir??
I haven't done much landscape photography, but I would imagine he's picking a target in the distance and maybe selecting it with one of the focus points (i.e if its to one of the sides, and not in the center).
Or simply using manual focus and setting it to infinity 😁
But I reckon it also depends on what you're actually taking a photo off. If the horizon is involved, I *think* higher aperture is needed, opposed to i.e 6:59 - I think focus was on the rock/trees in the foreground (plus retouching in lightroom), so the smaller f number/blurred background isn't interfering with the entire subject (what I mean is: The background isn't so blurred, you can't tell what the entire picture is, but the trees in the background are still not crisp, while still making a great photo).
Aperture dictates "sharpness"/level of blur, so about 7'ish and higher will make it so the foreground/background doesn't get blurred out, in contrast to some of the shots he took where he's focusing on something in the foreground (like 5:11).
Bleh this is just a long ramble, and probably didn't answer any of your questions 😁
@@MrMiss-cp9bw Thanks for your answer ☺️👌
Sir I have this very equipment but I don't get sharp images? Are there any tips you can share so I can get sharper images?
Ensure everything is clean/clear - wipe the lens on both the front and back glass. Try both auto and manual focus as this might rule out potential issues with auto focus. Are you able to get clear shots with other lenses?
@@RealWorld alright thanks I'll definitely try what you said. I only have an 18-200 mm lens and I remember getting sharper pictures with my kit lens when i had them earlier
Great video!!
Hi. I'm going to a Jungle Safari tomorrow so could you recommend the best settings for my D3400 and 18-200mm lens? Thanks.
Jungle Safari sounds awesome for photos!:) This might be too late but I might suggest aperture priority and manually control the ISO using the side function button. You may want to open the aperture wide and control the ISO to get the shutter speed you desire (fast moving subjects will require a faster shutter 1/200 or more). Enjoy the experience and be safe!:)
@@RealWorld @RealWorld yes this is a little late, I managed to get some shots, messed up though. The images aren't sharp I guess there's something wrong with my 18-200mm lens. But from next time I'll remember to use aperture priority. I don't understand the ISO feature. I mean I can see the difference in night shots but in daylight I keep it at 100.
Great video and still shots. What color profile are you using, standard or vivid or part way between the 2?
Thanks for the post/question Chris:). Assuming you are referring to color profile for photos - I shoot in RAW and leveraging Lightroom for post processing with no particular color profile:). I feel post processing plays an important role is the overall creative outcome of any given photo. I created a few videos using Lightroom but may create a series going over various techniques and images ... lots of fun:).
@@RealWorld Thanks .. I tend to shoot RAW + JPEG but only post-process any shots that I think I can significantly improve in Lightroom and/or Elements. If I had more time, I'd post-process more, but life gets in the way of hobbies :-(
Post editing can take time but starts to quicken once you get overall process down:).
I have d3400. I would like to know from you can I attached nikkon 200-500 lense or Sigma 150-600 C with this camera body. What will be the disadvantage? In future I want to buy D7200 or d7500 in future.
downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/products/330/D3400.html
Page 80, in the English (Europe) manual, specifies which nikkor lenses it can use and what functions are available 😊
For sigma you need to find their info. The only thing I can remember is dg, I believe it is, works with dx cameras 😅
Thx @Mr. Miss for posting the manual:). I had my hands on the nikon 200-500 ( amzn.to/2EWENFF ) before which is solid (and hefty:)). The resulting images are sharp for the given range and lens mounts find to both the 3000 and 7000 series (and the 5000). The sigma 150-600 ( amzn.to/2GE4afO ) is very similar in terms of clarity and provides additional range (and cost less). If your budget is relatively tight, I would not have any issues in going with the sigma:).
I have a 3500 and 7200, the sensor on the 7200 is slightly better at high ISO’s. I’d say the main advantage of the 7200 is the ability to quickly change settings with the addition of the more buttons on the body, rather than doing your adjustments through the menu. It also has dual memory card slots. I also have owned both lens, I chose the Tamron 150-600 g2 over the sigma, my contemporary model autofocus motor failed after three days of using.
Great video, as always! Also this will be my next lens for my D5600, hopefully as a Christmas present haha
But what happened to your battery cover (1:13) lol
I don't like how this looks o.O
It probably got snagged when he removed the battery, or was putting it back in, and it snapped.
Great spot though - I would never have caught that detail 😁
@@MrMiss-cp9bw Thanks xD
Yeah, there are some things I'm extra careful about and looking that there aren't any exposed parts on my camera is one of them.
Ahhhh yes - great catch/observation!:) I noticed the same when assembling the video and wondered if anyone would see the same - too funny:). Sooooo what is the story behind the missing cover? I bought the D3400 on display and save a good amount of money because of the missing cover:). The store wanted to replace the D3400 display with the D3500 and I was in the right place at the right time to make the deal. I never replaced the cover and have taken the camera in various adverse environments without any issues:).
@@RealWorld Ohh that's some great luck! But I would at least close it up with some tape because I'm always paranoid about dirt and water getting into my camera if I'm shooting in a more adventurous environment ;)
Those lenses have been around for years, unless there is a new version out? I have both the VR1 and VR2 versions. The VR2 has the lock to keep the lens from zoom creep. Good general purpose carry lens. Version 2 is on my D500 right now, though I tend to grab my D850 most of the time
There isn't a new version out, so yeah, they're old but gold.
V1 is from 2005 and V2 is from 2009.
I like that - old but gold:). Yes, Nikon has not released a newer version which makes this lens a staple - still solid/sharp:).
Were you at the Buffalo River in Arkansas?
No - Red River Gorge, KY:)
Great guy you are 👍
I have the similar zoom lens from tamron 18-200 3.5 - 6.3 vc di iii . Did you had the chance to test it out? It much cheaper than nikon.
Ahhhh yes, I had that same lens before getting the Nikon 18-200 ... a great/solid lens as well. I sold it only because I had the chance to get the Nikon version with a used body:).
I had that lens as well, but returned it because I wanted more length. Its a real nice lens though, and when I look at some of my older photos taken with it, I really wish I had kept it!
@@RealWorld I got mine second hand for about 120$ in mint condition.
Love this channel
Nice video, dude. Always, i like to watch your videos, and listen to yuo . Have good night.
p.s., nice music...
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Really like the new band/music in this video (The Palms) - plan to use more in future vids as well. I exchanged messages with the band - easy going:).
i prefer the movie images over most still images. I take photographs but i shoot water at high shutter speeds i like water to look like water. Thank you for interesting video.
interesting feedback and thank you:). i have always preferred a slow shutter to capture flowing water. nonetheless, i appreciate capturing droplets suspended in mid-air as well:).
D3400😍
ikr:) ... the camera is solid:).
I just need to own those lenses i am still using the kit lenses comes with my D3400 i am not rich haha need to save first
lol - you will get there and keep in mind that one or two lenses will cover most of your needs:)
@@RealWorld Right for now anyways and i always get jealous seeing other people with awesome lenses but no worries i can manage these kit lenses i got the range though keeps me switch back and forth hahaha coz I'm such a noobie put on my long one when i see a bird and switch to short when i see a nice scenery hahaha i should just focus on one lens at a time but i keep switching i cant stop shooting when i see something i like to capture...
you are on the right path and a similar path of many:). keep shooting with what you have and enjoy the ride!:)
Have you thought of buying used or refurbished? I got the original 18-200 Nikon refurbished for under half the new price a few years ago and it's a great general purpose lens, as this video clearly shows
Was it VR 1 or VR 2 version of 18-200?
VR1 - it's an old lens:).
@@RealWorld thank you!
What was the app you use for WiFi with the Nikon?
Oh Snapbridge, right? Thx
Correct - snapbridge:). Not the biggest fan but it works:).
An alternative is a card reader you can plug in your phone, to transfer pictures quicker 😊
E) My huawei phone can't use sd cards, and my charger port is dead - So sadly I can't use this "trick" 😅
RealWorld thanks. I’m using canon right now and they have a nice app called Canon Connect which lets me use my camera as a remote control and transfer photos wirelessly.
Awesome video as usual.. I think we also have to ask you to please take care.. Cheers
Thanks for the post/feedback and stay safe in your part of the world as well:).
Safety first
you could have used your phone. Neither the camera, nor the lens is adapted for that type of shooting. This is a lens that should be used in super sunny blue sky conditions and and only until early afternoon. It is excellent for people. Especially if you have a garden party, beach party. Only outside! Never inside.
While you're correct, back in 2009 this wouldn't have been a great option.
The lens is still a good all-around lens, and with editing the photos are still good.
The channel isn't about taking award winning photos.
Its to inspire upcommers to get out and take pictures, enjoy the gear you have *AND* show how much you can achieve with a low level entry camera and gear.
This video was about Mark dusting off an old beloved lens and having fun.
Mr. Miss is correct:). The 18-200 was stellar back in the day and still a nice choice today IMO. The lens along with many others can take low light shots just need a tripod and/or raise the ISO, etc.
Очень нравятся видио!😃 Не понимаю языка но все равно технические моменты понятны😃
Спасибо за сообщение и рад помочь! :)
👍
Nice video! Suggestion: include your Instagram link in your About section. ;)
lol - great idea and will update:)
you are quit in late try newer equipment
agreed, however the range is still relevant and the 18-200 is sold as new and used:).
