Product Description
NIKON 18-55MM II F/3.5-5.6G ED AF-SAmazon.com Product Description
Designed exclusively for Nikon DX-format SLR cameras, this 18-55mm lens approximates the picture angle performance of a 27-82.5mm lens in the 35mm format, ensuring superb versatility in a wide variety of shooting situations. The lens offers such features as a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) with a compact rod-type design that provides fast, ultra-quiet autofocusing; an ED glass element that minimizes chromatic aberration and produces a superior optical performance; a hybrid aspherical element that delivers high resolution and contrast; and a seven-blade rounded diaphragm that produces more natural out-of-focus highlights. The focus mode switch, meanwhile, makes it a breeze to switch quickly between autofocus (A) and manual (M) focus. Finally, the lens's Super Integrated Coating minimizes ghosting and flare to provide an even higher contrast and more vivid images, even in challenging light conditions. All Nikon lenses carry a five-year warranty.

Great Lens for the $ 
by .. Kristen Hodges (New Brunswick, Canada)
Great pick for your first lens. Works well on my D80. Its affordable and takes great pictures in a variety of settings!
Excellent Short Zoom Lens by .. William B. Dwinnell IV (King of Prussia, PA)
I got this lens as part of a package with a Nikon D40x camera. While the 18-55mm range is a bit short for my taste, I do like using this lens.
Pros:
-very light weight
-reasonably fast auto-focus
-high quality image resolution
Cons:
none
There is a vibration reduction ("VR") version of this lens, but at this focal length I don't miss it.
LOVE IT! by .. Karen D. Anda (Issaquah, WA)
This lens is awesome! Very quiet (almost too quiet because you think it's not working!). Excellent clarity and sharpness. Highly recommend.
Great value lens!! by .. Werner Nicdao (Philippines)
For experienced shooters, don't expect much. For those just starting out with digital SLR photography, it's the best kit lens to use. This lens can really deliver great pictures. Provided you know what you're doing. That simply means understanding how to use aperture, shutter speed, white balance, ISO, and lighting among other things to achieve the best results. That also means you have to minimize using "toink" (auto) mode to learn. Not that the different auto modes don't take great shots. They actually do, except, they don't always come out the way you want them to. I use this along with a D40x body. And most of the time it has helped me take great pictures. I say most of the time only because this lens does have its limits. When you understand this, you should be just fine. For shooting distant objects try the 55-200mm VR lens. For shooting objects in low light conditions try the 50mm f/1.8D lens. In any case, hope this helps.
good as new by .. Karen Ford ()
The lens arrived promptly and in mint condition. With refurbished lenses like this it seems silly to spring for the new ones, unless of course money is no object.
