SPECIFICATIONS
Full Name: Nikon AF-S Zoom-Nikkor D 18 - 200 mm f/3.5 - 5.6G DX ED IF VR. Different countries will use different combinations of all this alphabet soup.
AF-s means it focuses silently and you have instant manual override just by grabbing the focus ring.
D means it tells your camera's meter the distance to your subject. This helps a little for flash exposure metering.
G means it has no aperture ring so it won't work on ancient cameras that require one. Since these old cameras are film cameras it wouldn't matter anyway.
DX means it only works on digital cameras. The corners will be black at many focal lengths on a film camera.
ED is special glass used to increase sharpness.
IF is Internal Focusing. The lens focuses with only the slight motion of a few internal elements instead of having to crank the entire lens in and out. This means the front no longer rotates as you focus, making polarizing and grad filter use easy.
M/A (Manual/Automatic) mode means that even while in autofocus you may simply grab the focus ring to make manual focus adjustments. Next time you tap the shutter it returns to AF mode, and next time you grab the ring you're instantly in manual mode. I wish everything on earth worked this well.
SIC is Nikon's latest multicoating to increase light transmission and reduce ghosts.
SWM is a Silent Wave Motor, which is an ultrasonic piezo device similar to Canon's USM. It moves things without making noise. The lens focuses silently, handy for snoop photography and for sensitive pets and wildlife.
VR is Vibration Reduction. It lets you get sharp images without a tripod. The lens works internally to compensate for camera motion, vibration and shake. Of course it can't compensate for your subject moving.
