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.

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.

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.

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.

Damaged partial lens outer body. Upon receiving the order, I noticed that the lens on the outside, that is, the outer ring on the tip of the objective lens, is damaged. When choosing and closing the order, the advertiser of this lens mentioned that it was in perfect condition without any damage, but...

I bought this for family use, mainly for this price, weight and Image Quality. Today after some month of use, I'm very happy with it, and I've extended its use to more artistic pictures, only in certain circumstances of course.

its plastic mount; Today I can't take my nikon D90 from the lens, may be broken for that

I love this lens. It covers the distance I need fo average photoshots. Works GREAT! I would recomend this lens to All Nikon users!

This lens, despite it being a kits lens is marvelous. sharp, well built. Fluid in motion. Just great. For those who own the D90, this lens is its perfect partner. It also works perfectly with the D7000 and beyond. No issues.

I bought this for my wife. The price, order process, and delivery were great. The Nikkor 18-105 provided just the right flexibility she wanted to take some great shots of the grand kids this Christmas.

an excellent starter lens - but upgrade for more artistic shots

Excellent Starting Lens

Variable aperture reduces flexibility
