Does anyone recognize this lens?

It looks like maybe a 18-200mm. It looks like a Nikkor lens? What is it? I'm not familiar with the lock switch in the middle of the lens.

No it is not. It may be a similar lens but it doesn't have the switch in the middle.

I don't think it's 28. It appears to be below 24.

I'm most interested in what the locking switch is for.

Sorry, typo, it is the 18-200 VRII. I have one and it's exactly like that.

It's NOT mine. Check with that guy in Japan. He might be missing a lens.

Lock switch is to prevent the lens from extending (zoom creep) when it's hanging from your neck. Very handy. The VRI did NOT have this feature.

Ok! I knew someone would know. Thanks!
