The Nikon AF-S DX 18-105mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR lens is a good choice for someone who wants more than the basic kit lens has to offer, while remaining compact and lightweight.

Consistently sharp; lightweight

All plastic construction; including lens mount

The product is very good. Thou the original Nikon box isn't what it came along.. But the product is original and crisp.. Delivery was delayed by a couple of days..but that could be accounted to the festive season.

I have an 18 - 55 mm standard kit lens and a 55 - 200 mm telephoto lens. Sometimes, however, a standard lens with a little more reach is extremely useful and often saves having to change lenses in mid shoot. This does exactly that and I can see this lens becoming my standard "go to" lens.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Quick Focus; Rugged; Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

Great in Value and quality. Sharp images, excellent colour reproduction, quick in focus and blurr-free photos. As a new user I am really happy with performance of lens as well as camera (D7100)

I bought this second hand about 18 months ago and I'm really pleased with the results. It is a surprisingly good lens and only comes off the camera if I need something with a longer reach or true macro capability. The VR is only really needed in low light but it certainly works when you want it to.

Affordable VR lens; light weight and sharp enogh for me

At the price; I can't think of one

I avoided kit lenses from reading comments on the internet, this lead to annoying others by having to change lens a lot and having to move position all the time in this focal range. So I bought this cheaper lens for when I did not care and the others did.

It is a light, versatile lens that can give very sharp images; Value for money is super

The lens has optical disadvantages at the extremes of its range (see real testing results for this); It does feel cheap with the plastic and the focus ring (I do focus manually regularly) does not feel professional

Nice bokeh and gives great results across the entire focal range. Hunts a bit in low light situations and I have had poor results on bumping up the ISO on my D5100. However, I completely recommend this lens instead of the standard kit lens (18-50)

I bought this used lens for my grandson. I gave him my old Nikon D80 camera and am teaching him how to use Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and ISO in various scenes to get great resulting images.

Great Kit lens, I really like them.

The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is a good alternative to an 18-55mm kit lens; it's sharp throughout its zoom range, and affordable.

Very sharp; Vibration reduction system; Sturdy build.

Competing lenses feature 18-135mm zoom range; Some distortion.
