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.

Cheap; good zoom range; VR

Plastic mount; soft; vignetting; CA; barrel distortion; slow focus in low light

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...

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.

After 40 years of professional photography and using Nikon cameras in or shop, I decided to switch brands from "the other guys" to Nikon and purchased a D90, which serves me fairly well in a variety of situations, including artifact photography for a museum. I use a Speedlight SB-700 with it.

Basically you will get the cheap quality as you pay for this cheap lens. Disappointed me quite a few times, its still get the job done, but don't expecting to much for

The Nikkor AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR offers a nice package of a comfortable focal range, optical stabilization and very high resolution figures. On the downside there're rather pronounced distortion and CAs. The build quality is Ok but not really something to rave about either.

Have just received the lens and it feels sturdy, have not had the chance to test it outdoors however when paired to my d5100 and using the video on live view if pressing the shutter and re-focusing the noise is quite substantial. Not saying it's faulty but worth noting for video oriented buyers.

arrived on time as explained in correspondence. New item in box with a good saving
