Nikon AF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 ED VR DX Review
Last April we tested the standard kit lenses available for DSLRs and the winner proved to be the Nikon optic. Now Nikon has gone back to the drawing board and produced a new zoom with Vibration Reduction, available as a bundle with the Nikon D60 or separately for £180.
Pros:
- Resolution
- zoom action
- VR
Cons:
- Wideangle chromatic aberration
- plastic build

great lens
this lens is super sharp and arguably sharper than the very expensive 17-55mm 2.8.but not of the same build quality.the little click on HB-45 lens hood is great but not included.the down side is the plastic lens mount.
Pros:
- very sharp and vr
Cons:
- plastic lens mount

1 Stop Camera gave great service...
I purchased this lens back in October and have been meaning to write to say that 1 Stop Camera actually called and left a message on our machine to let us know that they sent the lens to us. I was very surprised to get such personalized service and wanted to commend them for that.

excellent quality
this is a kit lens , I bought canon xsi first but was disappointed with its kit lens though the camera was good I returned the xsi and got the Nikon 3100 . The 18-55 kit lens is excellent with very good picture quality autofocus is fast .The only drawback is the plastic mount but it is a kit lens .
Pros:
- price ,quality
Cons:
- NA

Start With This One
This is my go-to lens for everyday photography. Perfect for point and shoot. It's easy to zoom in and out quickly. I keep this one on the camera at all times, and only switch to a premium lens when doing an intentional photo shoot.

Love the VR feature added to this lens
I bought this to replace my old lens that came with my D50. I had bought a new D5000 body and my old lens was acting up. This one has the added VR feature. Very happy with it.
Pros:
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
- Vibration Reduction

As good as new!
I was a bit skeptical for buying a refurbished lens, I have bought a few new Nikon lenses in the past. Have not had a problem with either. And for this price, if I break it I can buy a new one without being too upset!
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
Cons:
- Short Zoom

Great for Beginners
Great versatile lens for beginners. I used mainly for candid and hobby shots when I would travel with my boyfriend or having an adventure with friends. I usually use a 50mm but when you want candid shots like taking photos of yourself with a friend the 50 zooms in too much!
Pros:
- Affordable
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
- Versatile
Cons:
- Not as sharp as a prime

A very sharp lens for its price!
Love this lens. The right zoom range, the right price and great performance. What else can you ask for The VR is pretty effective, I have taken a few sharp pictures at below 1/15 shutter speed. Would definitely recommend this one for anyone looking for an all-purpose lens which is not so expensive.

Nikon 18-55mm VR AF-S lens
Awesome lens and lightweight...that's a real plus and what a great price. Will use this in place of my Nikon 18-200mm lens which while great is heavy. This 18-55mm lens was the one on my daughter's new Nikon D3200 and it performed flawlessly.
