Released in August 2013, Nikon’s 18–140mm f/3.5–5.6G DX ED VR for APS-C bodies replaces its popular 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6G zoom, adding Vibration Reduction and 5mm of reach at the long end. This utility zoom lacks the ranges of Nikon’s 18–200mm or 18–300mm f/3.5–5.6G VR all-in-ones, but the lens ($597, street) is lighter and more compact and—for our money—handles noticeably better than either of those two. It sports one ED element for controlling chromatic distortion, Nikon’s ultra-quiet SWM autofocus motor, and a 7.8X zoom range that’s the full-frame equivalent of 27–210mm.

The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR ($499.95) is the company's replacement for its older AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR zoom. It's priced a bit higher, but covers a longer zoom range. Our tests showed the older lens to be sharper at maximum aperture, but the 18-140mm improves significantly when stopped down.
