While I hope to create a full Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site.

Useful 'walkabout' zoom range; Decent optical performer; Very good value; VR performs well; Lightweight

My Nikon D500 kit came with an 18-55mm lens and a 55-200mm lens. This 18-105 lens is becoming my lens of choice- higher zoom than the 18-55 without the camera shake factor of the 55-200. (Don't get me wrong, the other lenses have their uses too.
