Question 1

i received it:made in Thailand.
is it supposed to be Made in Japan??

Accepted Answer

Both of my genuine Nikon lenses were made in Thailand, the 18-55mm and 70-300mm. I always call Nikonusa.com when I buy a lens or camera.nThey will verify your serial number and give you all the info to ensure that your product is genuine. Link:  http://www.nikonusa.com/en/index.page

Question 2

Can this lens take pictures in lower light than the 18-140mm?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the apeture setting of the lens woud determine if the lens will take pictures in a lower light. For the most part, the larger the zoom area the more light will be permitted into the lens. and as far as this particular lens you can't find better glass for a lens than Nikkor (Nikon) for the price. Unless you want to go into the thousands of dollars for a Hasseelblad (spelling wrong) the glass used for Nikon lenses will give you 1.5 to 2 better stops better for the amount of light produced ot the end of the lens.  Cannon is also better quality but Nikon has always been my choice between the two. One more thing, if you want to wait for a better price you can wait for a refurbished llense. When these lenses get sent back to the factory for a flaw or problem the quality control is actually better than the original one and you end up getting a better lense or at least one equal to a brand new lense. I picked mine up for $76.00 and it has produced extra good portraits in RAW format. To prevent me from giving a lesson on the difference between JPG and RAW formats let me just say that if you take a picture in RAW vs JPG format you will receive a picture that you could blow up 5 times larger without pixilation with RAW and there is NO compression. It is the compression algorithm in digital cameras that ruins great photos. If you use RAW format there is o compression and you get full control of color, saturation, definition and other things that gives you a picture that COULD (if used correctly) a picture that can rival film.  (Never as good but rival). One more thing, you have to down load the software from either Cannon or Nikon to work with your RAW photographs. Just go to the camera site.
