This is an excellent little walkaround lens that gives good performance and sharpness plus VR. It all plastic but seems reasonably put together but I don't really like plastic mounts but for the price of this one I can forgive it. Recommended...
Pros:
- Sharp
- fast focus,lightweight

NIKON AF-S DX VR 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6G Lens
Used mainly on my D7000 and is reasonably quick on AF; little adjustment on manual focus so have to have very light touch to get spot-on. Good macro capability for a kit lens; I use mainly for landscapes. It delivers IQ of a quality close to something twice the price.
Pros:
- Good value
- light & great IQ for the price
Cons:
- Plastic feel
- small manual focus adjustment

Easy to use, great results.
This item was purchased to replace an exact lens accidentally dropped whilst on holiday on Norfolk Island - (not good). This lens is an ideal size for close up and distance shots and takes exceptional photos. Item forms part of my kit with a D7000 camera.

Nikon AF-S DX 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G VR
The ‘VR' in this lens stands for Vibration Reduction. The name is different, but the basic mechanism is the same as Canon's IS (Image Stabiliser) technology. Gyroscopic sensors within the lens detect the slightest movement and a ‘floating' element within the lens is instantly adjusted to keep the...

It's obvious reading some of these reviews that a lot of you aren't experienced or semi-pro photographers. This lens is an "everyday shooter," meaning I wouldn't use this lens to shoot a wedding.

Value for money all purpose lens
Reasonably priced lens that generally comes as a kit lens with Nikon's 3100,3200,5100,5200 body. Its a good all purpose lens with consistent results. Use it as a basic lens for general purpose photography.

Amazing 18-55mm lens, pure SILENT & fast FOCUS!
This lens (AF-P) is much better than AF-S as this does not make any sound while focussing, pure silent and "fast" focusing.I got this as kit lens with Nikon D5300 and I'm loving it! It's a newly launched lens from Nikon & you can update your camera firmware to use this lens. Attaching some pics...

Great lens for the price; love it.
What a delightful little zoom lens for my D7200! Light weight, plus having VR makes it a great walk-around lens for outdoor (or indoor with very good ambient light) shooting. The VR is giving me blur-free images even with shutter speeds as slow as 1/20 if I don't mind an ISO up to 3200 (my preferred...

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.

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
