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.

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...

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
