Nikkor Lens AFS DX 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6G VR

Product Information

I've made it far more obvious by shooting a gray field and then placing these on the same gray background. I found myself in situations when I was glad I could mount this lens on my D750 and get decent results (such as night photos of architecture).

Given the very limited zoom ratio, it is quite a slow lens in terms of how much light it can gather, but it is still a standard for kit lenses. If the camera is equipped with a built-in flash, vibration reduction will be disabled while the flash charges. I repeat here what I wrote in the AF-P 10-20mm wide-angle review: even though one should praise Nikon for designing a faster and quieter focusing lens, I realized that, combined with the missing on-the-lens switch, I experienced some frustrating moments. Nikon's new "P" series of NIKKOR lenses use a pulse motor (utilizing stepping motors) to focus smoother and quieter than previous drive systems. The 18-55 VR performs quite well here, with falloff only likely to be an issue wide open at 18mm and 24mm, and disappearing on closing the aperture one stop.The companies we use are DPD or DHL and parcels are delivered in 48 hours or sooner from date of despatch.

Lens sharpness used to matter with zooms in the 1960s, but today, all Nikon's lenses are sharper than most photographers ability to elicit sharpness from them.Interestingly, diffraction sets in rather slowly, and this lens shows a good resolution across the frame, even at smaller apertures. I am not very happy about this since quite a few partly compatible bodies (such as D7100) do not support this feature, so VR cannot be turned off. The 18-55mm zooms are often delivered with entry-level Nikon DSLR bodies (such as D3400 and D5600) as a bundle. As always, our studio tests are backed up by taking hundreds of photographs with the lens across a range of subjects, and examining them in detail.

pixel widths towards the edges of the frame, which may become visible in harsh crops, or in large reproductions of images. Nikon's 18-55mm P is extraordinary in that unlike every other 18-55mm kit lens, its new stepper autofocus motor lets it focus essentially instantly, even in near total darkness, even on the cheapest D3300 camera.This also applies to accessories that are supplied with the camera including batteries which may have a lower optimum performance level/life expectancy.
