Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens

Excellent Quality and brillaint shots taken with the lens.

Am using a D60 With the lens and operating the functions is easy and within grasp of all your finger tips.

Comes with a Nice hard wearing pouch for storage.

Autofocus: As you might expect from an AF-S lens, focus performance is generally fast and direct. I did see just a little bit of a hitch in low light that I don't see with the more expensive AF-S lenses, but not enough to quantify.

Sharpness: As with most of the DX consumer zooms, the 18-105mm is sharp to very sharp in the center, even wide open. It has slightly better performance one stop down, but not enough to avoid maximum aperture. Also like most of the other DX consumer zooms, the corners are weakest at the widest and longest focal lengths and pretty good otherwise. The corners never get terrible, but they barely rise above what I'd call average at 18mm. By 24mm, I'd rate them very good. At 105mm the corners are noticeably soft, but still usable. Overall, the lens seems well matched to the performance of the D90 (and D300) sensor: it's fully capable of resolving to the sensor's ability in the central area. Corners are tough to assess on most lenses via test charts because of curvature of field, but in the shooting I've done with the lens, I'd say that, other than 18mm wide open, the lens reaches the very good range or better in practical use. Considering the price, this is very good bang for the buck.

Great Lens. Fab for portraits and also interiors. Fun to use. Not too heavy. Good lens shield. Automatic in the best way possible. Quiet, smooth. A really useful piece of kit. An all rounder, which means other lens aren't so necessary. Quite big so not discreet.

The lens is excellent for taking pictures they are clear and free from distortion. It is a handy size to hold and when mounted on the camera has great ballance. The lens is attached to my d90 and since I have bought it I have been very impressed with all the results, whether taken at 18 or 105 there has not been a problem. To say I am impresssed is an understatement, I have never been able to produce such great quality in all the years I have been an amateur photographer. The wildlife shots are clear with explict detail on all animals, the landscapes are the same and with moving objects such as boats, cars, birds extra the quality has been great.

I have found that this lens i well worth the money.

I meant to buy an 18-70 lense for my husband so he was less than pleased! Turned out he LOVES this lens and despite the cost of this lense coming in at LESS than the 18-70 it appears to be a superior lens! Phew! Buy one of these with confidence.
