Given its versatility, many people use the Nikon 18-200mm as the only lens in their bag for everything from wide-angle shots to close-ups. The Nikon 18-200mm VR II is an excellent all-purpose lens-it captures sharp images throughout its zoom range, has vibration reduction, and a sturdy build that should outlast your camera. What we don’t: Some distortion at the wide end. It’s true that the price is steep-nearly double the cost of the D3200-but the versatility in one lens just can’t be beat. However, the changes are almost all positive and it’s currently the leading all-in-one lens for Nikon’s DX-format cameras. Released in 2014, the new version of this all-in-one lens is considerably lighter and cheaper than the old one, with the only sacrifice being a maximum aperture at the long end of f/6.3 instead of f/5.6. What we don’t: Some softness and distortion.įor those who want to cover virtually the entire spectrum of focal lengths without changing lenses, the new Nikon 18-300mm VR is an excellent choice. When the lens is not in use, make sure to use the lens lock as it has a tendency to creep. But the Sigma is a few ounces lighter than the Nikon options, which is a nice bonus when lugging around your camera bag on vacation. What are the downsides of this lens? There is an aperture drop-off at the wide end (the lens has Sigma’s Optical Stabilization technology) and some softness in the corners. Its biggest selling point is the price, which is hundreds of dollars less than either of the Nikon all-in-one options below. What we like: Inexpensive and a long zoom range.įor an inexpensive all-in-one lens to pair with the Nikon D3200, the Sigma 18-250mm Macro OS is a good option. As a bonus, the 18-55mm in the two-lens kit is the VR II, which is sharper and lighter than its predecessors. We generally prefer a travel zoom with more reach like the 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6, but that’s not available with this camera and it feels silly to double up. This point aside, this two-lens kit is a nice option for the D3200 that will have you covered from wide angle to telephoto with two lenses. The 18-55mm VR above includes this technology, and if you’re making the jump to two lenses, go with VR versions (you will thank us later). The reason is simple: we think you need Vibration Reduction and it merits the bump in price. For the purposes of this article, we only are including the Vibration Reduction (VR) kit. What we don’t: Optical performance is good but not great.įor the D3200, two similar looking kits are offered with two lenses of the same focal lengths: 18-55mm and 55-200mm. What we like: Coverage from 18mm to 200mm at a reasonable price point. You also can add the Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6 VR below, which together with the 18-55mm offers nice coverage from wide angle to telephoto. You can expect some distortion, but this can be corrected in camera on the D3200. This version of the 18-55mm is one generation old-Nikon has released a lighter weight 18-55mm VR II-but it’s still a great lens and captures sharp images, has vibration reduction, and weighs less than 10 ounces. The D3200 is sold with the Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR lens for $350 total, which currently is one of the best DSLR values on the market. What we don’t: Some distortion and softness. What we like: Lightweight and good optics overall. With the release of the newer Nikon D3400 and D3300, the D3200 is selling at a discount. You’ll notice that a lot of zoom lenses have distortion, particularly at the wide end, but the Nikon D3200 has a helpful automatic distortion control mode built into the camera. Below is our list of the best lenses for the Nikon D3200, ranging from kit lenses (keep in mind that the camera comes with the 18-55mm VR included) to wide-angle and telephoto.
