This shot of The London Eye was taken with the Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens at its widest 18mm focal length - this gives a field-of-view equivalent to 27mm.

The wide angle has captured a large field-of-view and there's also no vignetting apparent in the image, although the crops from the extreme corners reveal a little chromatic aberration. Check our results page for specific tests in this regard.

This photo looking towards Embankment and Charing Cross station from London's South Bank was taken approximately mid-through the Nikkor's zoom range at 82mm - this is equivalent to 123mm.

The crops reveal a high level of detail and sharp features including the name of the boat on both the back of the vessel and on its life ring.

The light was quite poor on the day with an overcast sky and slight drizzle, forcing us to increase the D2X's sensitivity to 400 ISO. The camera metered an exposure of 1/40 which would normally prove a challenge to handhold, but as the crops reveal, the lens' VR technology has effectively counteracted any wobbles. This is a key advantage it has over its rivals.
