New Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens Black review
I purchased this lens to use as a light and cheap alternative to my other glasses when I work in the forest. It works perfectly on my D 7200 after a small micro focus adjustment. At 18 mm one needs to close the aparture with two stops or so to get good sharpness in the corners of the frame.
Pros:
- Good sharpness overall, especially at 55 mm
- Close minimal focusing distance
- Very compact and light
- VR works fine
- Focus is quiet, fast and accurate.
Cons:
- Some purple and yellow chromatic aberrations in the corners of the frame No VR switch on/off button on the lens tube
- All plastic
- High distortion at 18 mm

Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G DX VR AF-P Nikkor
After having bought the outstanding AF-P 70-300mm DX VR lens, I thought I would try this AF-P 18-55mm because of the many great reviews. I have the original AF-S 18-55mm VR (not VRII) released in 2006 as the kit lens for my D3100, so I thought I would get this new AF-P lens for my D5600 as an...
Pros:
- -Extremely fast focusing
- Average sharpness
- Lightweight
Cons:
- -Plastic mount -No buttons for switches to control autofocus or vibration control

As with Canon's 18-55mm IS upgrade, there are rather more changes from the previous Nikon 18-55mm than at first meet the eye. The physical similarity between the lenses masks a multitude of differences; most notably the new lens has a more complex optical formula of 11 elements in 8 groups as...
Pros:
- Decent optical quality
- Effective vibration reduction system
- Very good macro performance
Cons:
- All-plastic construction
- Rotating front element annoying for filter users
- Somewhat susceptible to flare
- with little help from near-useless lens hood
- Short travel of focus ring makes critical manual focus rather tricky

The Nikkor DX 18-55mm VR was announced in November 2007 as the company's latest budget kit lens. It will work on any Nikon DX format DSLR, although is best-suited to the entry-level models like the D40, D40x and D60.
Pros:
- VR effectively combats camera-shake
- Relatively quick and quiet SWM focusing
- Compact and light
- Good performance for the money
Cons:
- Front section rotates when focusing
- Basic manual focusing facilities
- Doesn't come with lens hood
- Previous Mark II lens better in some tests

Not For Printing Purposes
This is a good lens to take pictures only for the computer, but if you want to print them on paper, it fails. The sharpness is missing and clarity is not there.

a great camera for the novice or budding photograh
I bought this camera after drooling after it for months. It has lived up to almost all of my expectations. The pictures I take look more professional than with any other camera I've used.
Pros:
- Picture quality is very good
- Functionality and settings are very good
- It's slightly smaller than the average Digital SLR so it's easier to tote around town
Cons:
- I wish more of the Nikon lenses worked with this camera body
- I wish there was an image stabilization feature, especially when using the longer lenses

upgrade is really worth it.
This is an upgrade I made to my new camera package. I don't really know much about photography yet but my friend strongerly recommended that I get the VR lens and I'm assuming that is one of the reasons why but my photos turn out beautifully.
Pros:
- Really helps novice photographer
Cons:
- None
