18-200mm f3.5-5.6G AFS VR DX review at PhotoRadar
"The Nikon 18-200mm was one of the first superzooms and it’s now showing its age a little. You can expect increased distortion and chromatic aberration and a drop in definition at longer focal lengths – classic superzoom tendencies. Newer, independent rivals don’t necessarily improve on the Nikkor’s optical quality, but they are cheaper."
18-200mm f3.5-5.6G AFS VR review at UsedNikon
"I'm sorry, but those who have panned this lens either got a bad one or just don't understand what a walk-around lens is for. This is what we all hoped the old 24-120 VR would be, but unlike that lens it gets much more done for just 200 dollars more."

18-200mm f3.5-5.6G AF-S VR II review by Peter K. Burian
"I have tested many “all-in-one” lenses and the AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II model been the best of the group. It’s certainly not inexpensive but this one deserves my Best Value award in the 18-200mm category."
18-200mm f3.5-5.6G AFS VR II review at CameraLabs
"In short it's a useful and classy lens, but as explained in detail above, one which will still be beaten on price and quality if you're willing to carry two or more lenses instead. If you already own a Nikkor kit lens and simply want to zoom-in closer, then complementing your existing model with either the DX 55-200mm VR or AF-S 70-300mm VR will give you better results at a much lower price. It's also worth noting for all the criticism we've given Canon's EF-S 18-200mm IS lens for being inferior to the Nikon equivalent, it costs around 20% less."
18-200mm f3.5-5.6G AFS VR II review at PhotoReview
"On test, this lens was well matched to the sensor in the D300s in terms of colour rendition and contrast. However, it was found to suffer from noticeable barrel distortion at the 18mm focal length setting...In our Imatest tests, resolution remained relatively high throughout the aperture and focal length range, although not quite up to the potential of the sensor in the D300s. Best results were obtained from the shorter focal lengths and wider aperture settings."

24-70 light leak "not a problem with normal shooting" says Nikon USA - RobGalbraith
"Nikon USA's stance on a possible distance panel light leak affecting the AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED is that it's "not a problem with normal shooting." The company also says that any U.S. owner of the lens may request to have it inspected and "if deemed necessary Nikon will take the appropriate steps to address the issue."

24-70mm f2.8G AFS review at PhotoRadar
"It’s good, but is it that good? Nikon’s 24-70mm f2.8 is the perfect ‘kit’ zoom for a D3/D3x or D700, but you pay heavily for the f2.8 constant maximum aperture, both financially and in terms of weight and bulk. Distortion and aberration control is excellent, though, and if you’ve got the cash it’s a great partner for a full-frame Nikon body."
24-70mm f2.8G AFS review at UsedNikon
"The build quality and handling is typical of Nikon's pro zooms and is essentially flawless. The only negative elements to the 24-70 are size and cost."

"Without a doubt the worst lens I've tried so far, at least on the FX format. The performance of this classic Nikkor lens is so bad it's almost indescribable. It's like you have to try it to see how bad the lens is."
