Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Camera Lens
- Really nice lens. Gives you just right amount of focal length for walking around.
- This lens very versatile, the 18-140 range covers virtually everything I need, so this is usually the lens on my camera.

- I am very impressed with this lens. It does everything I want, going from wide angle to telephoto and good aperture, leading to good exposure.
- Sharpness, zoom range, max aperture, build quality, size and weight, price, and projected image size are amazing.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Camera Lens
- Sharp,light and nice range but still a compact size. I love it! Reommended!
- It's quite a hefty beast and fitted on the D7100 it's not a light weight package but I've walked up lots of mountains in the month I've had it and not had a problem.
- It is still half the weight of a full frame camera with the equivalent lens. It has been a total game changer for me.
- From the short time that I have had to use this lens I am glad that I have chosen this size over the shorter standard zoom.
- The balance is very good on this combination and not too heavy to carry around all day.
Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED Camera Lens
- Excellent build quality and weight.
- Great compact size and weight for a 70-300 mm lens.
- Nice weighted lens producing excellent clear results.
- I like the light weight and speed of the lens.
- Lens is good. It's quick and lightweight.

What customers say about "Features"
Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Camera Lens
- This lens is sharp throughout its range and the VR helps a lot in low light conditions.
- The VR is actually a lot more useful than I thought it would be. It definitely sharpens things up when running and gunning handheld in the city.
- The VR is a huge help for lower light conditions, and the focus is spot on. Great lens overall.
- The notable features are an actual AF/MF switch, the ability to accept filters, and VR.
- VR mode is simply on/off no setting for "active" for panning etc, not a huge problem but worth a mention.
Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED Camera Lens

- Image quality is fantastic, especially outdoors.
- Build quality is really good.
