The 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G lens (not to be confused with the 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6Glens) is a telephoto superzoom lens manufactured by Nikon for its line of DX DSLR cameras.
As with other DX format lenses, the smaller image circle makes it compatible only with APS-C-sized image sensors. If used on a 35mm film SLR, vignetting will occur; [3] however, the lens can be used on an FX DSLR because the camera can be automatically or manually set "DX Crop Mode", eliminating vignette, but also reducing the image area from an FX-size sensor to a DX-size sensor [4]
The lens is designed to be an all-in-one solution. [5] This lens does not replace the 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G. [6]
The differences between the lens and the 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G are as follows:
Lens | 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G [7] | 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G [8] |
---|---|---|
Max. F-stop | 6.3 | 5.6 |
Length (mm/in.) | 99/3.8 | 120/4.7 |
Diameter (mm/in.) | 78.5/3.0 | 83/3.3 |
Weight (g/oz.) | 550/19.4 | 830/29.3 |
Filter size | 67 mm | 77 mm |
MSRP | $699.95 | $999.95 [9] |
Since it has the same focal length as the f/3.5-5.6G, it shares the record of having the largest zoom range of any other lens (interchangeable camera lenses only) currently manufactured. [10]
The lens has the following features: [11] [12]
Nikon's Silent Wave Motor to drive the autofocus mechanism quickly and almost completely silently (denotes the "AF-S on the lens body). [13]
Nikon's VR [14] (Vibration Reduction) for image stabilization (denotes the "VR" on the lens body).
Nikon's Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements to remove chromatic aberrations that may occur (denotes the "ED" on the lens body). [15]
Nikon's Internal Focusing (IF) to prevent the lens assembly from changing sizes during focusing so it can remain compact. [16]
Aspherical lens elements to remove other types of aberrations that may occur. [17]
Nikon's Super Integrated Coating on the lens elements to improve color on photographs and reducing ghosting and flaring. [18]

The Nikon 50 mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor is one of Nikon's 50 mm lenses. This Double-Gauss lens replaces the 50mm f/1.8 (non-D). A 50 mm prime lens is the normal lens for the 135 film format.
A kit lens is a "starter" lens which can be sold with an interchangeable-lens camera such as a single-lens reflex camera. It is generally an inexpensive lens priced at the lowest end of the manufacturer's range so as to not add much to a camera kit's price. The kit consists of the camera body, the lens, and various accessories usually necessary to get started in SLR photography. A kit lens can be sold by itself outside of a kit, particularly the ones that are moderately expensive; for instance a kit lens included in a prosumer SLR kit is often marketed as an upgrade lens for a consumer SLR. In addition, retailers often have promotions of standalone low-end SLR bodies without the lens, or a package that bundles the SLR body with one or two more expensive lenses.
The Nikon F-mount is a type of interchangeable lens mount developed by Nikon for its 35mm format single-lens reflex cameras. The F-mount was first introduced on the Nikon F camera in 1959, and features a three-lug bayonet mount with a 44 mm throat and a flange to focal plane distance of 46.5 mm. The company continues, with the 2020 D6 model, to use variations of the same lens mount specification for its film and digital SLR cameras.
The Nikon DX format is an alternative name used by Nikon corporation for APS-C image sensor format being approximately 24x16 mm. Its dimensions are about 2⁄3 those of the 35mm format. The format was created by Nikon for its digital SLR cameras, many of which are equipped with DX-sized sensors. DX format is very similar in size to sensors from Pentax, Sony and other camera manufacturers. All are referred to as APS-C, including the Canon cameras with a slightly smaller sensor.
The Nikon D40 is Nikon F-mount entry-level digital SLR, announced November 16, 2006 and made until March 2009, when it was succeeded by the Nikon D3000. Compared to its predecessor, the D50, the D40 had several features removed, a few added, and a lower price: US$499.95 ESP as of November 2009 with the 18–55 mm G-II kit lens, positioning it as an entry-level model compared to the D80. The D40x has a 10-megapixel maximum resolution, up from 6 megapixels of the D40 and D50.
The AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF is an F-mount zoom lens manufactured and sold by Nikon. Designed exclusively for use on Nikon DX format cameras, this lens covers from wide-angle to medium-telephoto range.

The 70-300mm lens is a telephoto zoom lens made by Nikon. The lens has an F-mount to work with all the SLRs line of cameras, although the more recent AF-P lenses will not focus on film SLRs or older DSLRs.
The Nikon D60 is a 10.2-megapixel Nikon F-mount digital single-lens reflex camera announced in January 2008. The D60 succeeds the entry-level Nikon D40x. It features the Nikon EXPEED image processor introduced in the higher-end Nikon D3 and D300.
The Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED is an image stabilised superzoom lens manufactured by Nikon for use on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras. It provides a single-lens "walk-around" solution for wide-angle through to telephoto shots, as well as close-up photography.

The 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S Zoom-Nikkor lens is a midrange zoom lens manufactured by Nikon for use on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras. Often included as a kit lens on entry-level DSLRs, it also can be purchased separately from the camera body. Nikon first introduced the lens in 2005 and has provided three subsequent updates. Following are the four variants as of 2014:

In late 2018, Nikon released two cameras that use this mount, the full-frame Nikon Z 7 and Nikon Z 6. In late 2019 Nikon announced their first Z-mount camera with an APS-C sensor, the Nikon Z 50. In July 2020 the entry level full-frame Z 5 was introduced. In October 2020, Nikon announced the Nikon Z 6II and Nikon Z 7II, which succeed the Z 6 and Z 7, respectively.
