Great zoom for everyday use. Nicely weighted. A little larger and heavier than bundled 18-55mm. Image quality appears significantly better than bundled lens.

One of the main attractions of this lens is a useful and versatile focal range that goes from true wide angle to true telephoto.

Got this lens as a part of a D7000 kit since I couldn't buy a body only. The lens was very soft, had allot of barrel distortion and vignetting. The build quality was ok for a kit lens.

My wife and I shoot occasional events and this lens makes it easy to pack light. Granted, the 18-105 is not "fast" so we don't always get the best low-light performance (though high ISO on the new Nikons is amazing). We mainly use this lens for outdoor events or indoors with a flash.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh; Strong Construction

I had this lens for awhile before I got my equipment stolen. Although it might not be the best quality construction, it took very good pictures and is a very convenient focal length for a walk-a-round lens.

I most recently shot a wedding with this lens on my Nikon d5100, along with a SB-700 Speedflash. The lens was easy to handle and gave me a wide focal range, which allowed me to use one lens and not fuss around with using a second camera or changing lenses.

Consistent Output

Slow Focus

An excellent lens, 18-105mm, that fits between the standard supplied lens 18-55mm and my additional one 55-300mm. There is no more need to use the standard supplied lens of 18-55mm and swap to the bigger lens of 55-300mm as this new lens overlaps so therefore covers a better range.

an excellent starter lens - but upgrade for more artistic shots

Excellent Starting Lens

Variable aperture reduces flexibility

I bought this lens with the Nikon D7000. At first I thought that the lens will produce standard image but to my surprise the pictures come out amazing. The lens is very easy to use and is suitable for any use, whether wide or close-up photography.

Nice range lens. Has become my do all lens. Great quality pictures.Easy to use. Very well pleased. It has taken the place of my 18-55mm. And a lot the time also my 55-200mm. For the money this is top notch.
