Nikon AF-S DX 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Zoom Lens

This lens is designed for Nikon F-mount DSLR cameras. To use it on a Nikon Z series camera, you will need the appropriate Nikon FTZ or FTZ II mount adapter.

The minimum focusing distance for this lens is approximately 0.45 meters (1.5 feet) throughout the zoom range.

Yes, the Silent Wave Motor (SWM) provides quiet and fast autofocus, which is beneficial for video. However, the variable aperture means the exposure may change as you zoom, which can be noticeable in video if not managed.

Typically, this lens comes with the Nikon HB-32 lens hood in the retail packaging. Please check the product description for the specific listing.

VR (Vibration Reduction) compensates for camera shake, allowing you to shoot with slower shutter speeds than would normally be possible handheld, resulting in sharper images and steadier video.

Prime lenses have a fixed focal length and usually offer wider apertures (better for low light and bokeh) and often sharper image quality. This 18-140mm lens offers the flexibility of a zoom range, making it more versatile for different shooting scenarios without lens changes.

ED stands for Extra-low Dispersion. Nikon incorporates ED glass elements to minimize chromatic aberration, which is a type of color fringing that can occur, especially at high contrast edges, thus improving sharpness and color accuracy.

Ensure the AF/MF switch on the lens is set to 'AF'. Check that autofocus is enabled in your camera's settings. Clean the lens and camera contacts. If shooting in very low light, autofocus may naturally struggle.

Ensure VR (Vibration Reduction) is turned ON if shooting handheld, and OFF if using a tripod. Use an appropriate shutter speed for the conditions. Check that the lens is securely attached to the camera body.

Remove and reattach the lens to ensure it's properly seated. Clean the electrical contacts on both the lens and the camera body with a dry microfiber cloth. Consult your camera's manual for specific error code meanings.
