Great lens
Color: Black
So far, I really love this lens. It can't nail the detail of my manual 50mm f/1.8, nor is it fast enough to freeze motion, but it's a great zoom lens to just carry around. A lot of pictures don't need the kind of detail I get with the prime lens, and it's really nice to be able to pick a focal length, compose, and shoot--knowing that the auto-focus and VR are going to capture exactly what I want most of the time. The manual focus ring sucks, it just slides around, no dampening at all apparently. If you need to capture something fast, use the autofocus. The manual ring will do if the auto's just a little off, but it seems to work really well. Two switches--VR on/off and M/A for focus mode. Zoom ring is comfortable, focus ring sucks. This is a G lens--no aperture ring. Image quality is great, no complaints here. As I said, it doesn't quite match the sharpness of my 50mm prime, but of course, I wouldn't expect it to. It's excellent for its purpose, and I'm very happy with the quality. Focuses at around 5.5" I got a little closer than that on manual at the wide end if I remember right. The depth of field was about half an inch around that point, but it's not a steep drop off (so, no really great subject separation) Still good, though. Didn't notice any ghosting or flare described earlier, but I don't do highly contrasted scenes with bright lighting, like city nightscapes. Or at least, I don't use a zoom for it. VR works well. I didn't have any problem getting sharp images at this speed anyway, but it definitely helps with natural lighting. Little heavy on the D40, tips the balance to the lens a bit. Not enough to need the grip, but I bet the old ED II (which is still the kit lens with the D40) was a little more balanced. When I can get the VR version for a Franklin (flawless refurbished from Cameta, 90 day warranty), though, I can't argue. Really happy with it, definitely grab one if Cameta has a refurb. It's well worth the retail price, as well. ... show more

Better than Expected

I had purchased a Nikon D3100 seven years ago for my kids to use in a photography class. I know nothing about photography, but now I want to learn. My boys gave me the camera and said one of the two lenses was broken. Sure enough, I couldn't make it work - very frustrating. I decided to take a chance on this used lens since it sounded good and the ratings for the seller were over four stars. I got it about two hours ago, took it out of the package, put it in the camera, and it worked better than expected! Since it has a range of 18-55mm, I set it on Auto on 18mm (first pic), then from the same place, I set it on 55mm. The camera/lens automatically focused and gave me a beautiful zoomed-in picture in less than 5 seconds! This replacement lens was used, but their description was more than accurate (clean, no scratches, no mold, a bit of dust [which is negligible]). VERY pleased! ... show more

Perfect condition and fast shipper.
Color: Black
Works perfectly! Very happy with this lens. I have a Nikon D3000 camera. This lens replaces the kit lens that came with the camera which became very stiff after many years. The shipper shipped very quickly and it was packaged well.

Fantastic value with compromise
Color: Black
I'm not going to bash this lens simply because of its construction materials or cheap feel. Before I purchased the lens I knew that the majority of the metal in the construction are the screws holding it together but none-the-less I couldn't pass on the value. I purchased a Nikon refurbished copy of this lens primarily for the warranty and I have not had to call it in yet. This lens is a diamond in the rough because of its relatively superb optical quality in addition to VR. No other Nikon lens has the value of this lens since it can be had used for just over $100 and that is a steal. Why it doesn't cost more, the cons: 1) Construction materials are plastic 2) Blatant distortion at 18mm and 55mm wide open 3) Slower f-stops (F3.5 @ 18mm and F5.6 @ 55mm) 4) DX design means not fully compatible with Full Frame (D)SLRs Why is this such lens such a value, the pros: 1) VR ... VR ... VR 2) Super lightweight and when paired with a plastic bodied Nikon is a superb travel companion 3) 11 elements in 8 groups, including one hybrid aspherical element. 4) Produced as kit lens, means used market has saturated My pros list is short but to expand on the hybrid aspherical element as to what it does it substantially compensates for distortion aberrations at wide angles and effectively eliminates comatic flare. Its a challenge to compare the Nikon 17-55mm to the 18-55vr since they are built for two different reasons but at a technical level they share a common (albeit different) special lens element technology. The 17-55 utilizes ground aspherical lenses and the 18-55vr utilizes a single hybrid aspherical lens. The result is that the 18-55vr optical quality (albeit on paper) has comparable optical quality to the 17-55 at a FRACTION of the cost. I agree my review has continued too long but perhaps I'm passionate about this lens because people complain about the plasticity of it. Read up on the lens because every single person who reviews it mentions that its plastic. There are CONS to an all plastic construction ... duh. Anyway, rants aside, this lens is the best Nikon lens value you can find because of its price and optical quality. I believe the second best is the Nikon DX 35mm F1.8 prime. If you are a shooter that likes to kneel and be close to the subject there is no better optics/price value Nikon lens that is comparable. Lastly, buy a good multi-coated filter for this lens and you will have a protected low-light solution that costs less than $150. I recommended the HOYA HMC UV(0)/UV(C) and can be had used for around $15 on amazon.com. The Tiffen is tempting because of the price, hey I bought one, but you will be as disappointed as I was in the quality of your low-light photography. ... show more

Fantastic light weight lens
Color: Black
This is a great story lens. It is extremely light-weight and incredible sharp. I find myself rarely using filters, as this lens does not really need much improvement. I see no chromatic aberration with this lens, and no vignetting that I can see. The VR mode is great for hand held, and easily turns off for tripod shooting. The only time I put this lens in auto-focus is if I am handing my camera to someone else. This focus ring on this lens is easy to use, and I see no drift from the focal length ring. All-in-all, this is a must own lens, not just for the money. I also have a 27mm Nikkor prime lens, and find this lens to even be a better portrait lens. My next purchase will probably be the Nikkor 55 to 300mm lens for a matching set! With this lens, I have taken a picture of a bumble-bee in flight, and it's wings look as though they are sitting still. A truly sharp, fast lens. My only complaint about this lens, it is a bit too light. That's crazy sounding even from my own mouth; but I have a feeling that it's a plastic-body lens that will break if I look at it funny. Attached to a magnesium D200, it feels like an emergency spare tire on a Ferrari. With my heavy camera, it does feel more balanced than lets say a Sigma 300mm f4; but at the cost of how much durability? I guess light weight is a two way street. ... show more

Nice Little Bundle, Great Camera
This is my first SLR since my old Minolta XG-7. Ok, I'm dating myself, but I'm such a cheap date...lol. The unit was easy to understand, set up and start using. It is a bit trying on the patience to have to wait for the the battery to charge for an hour and half because I like to get my hands in right away with the thrill of having something new. From just shooting pictures in my back yard, the quality is incredible. I love the auto focus feature. SLR cameras have come a long way in 30 years. The onboard editing and filtering features are nice and work well. I've ordered the zoom lense for this camera and can't wait for it to come since I love to shoot landscapes and wildlife. Living in Virginia there is so much beauty to shoot. Plus there is a family of deer that come wandering out into a field next to my back yard and I've been wanting to take some really cool pictures of them without scaring them away. I can't wait for my friend's reactions when they see some of my new pictures pop up in my digital frame. I'm so happy to be back into SLR-land again. I remember all kinds of cool times with my old camera and I can't wait to make some new memories with this one. My old point and shoot digital was ok but this by far takes the most incredible images I've ever seen. The pictures look like ones out of a magazine. ... show more

The "Go-To" for the Nikon DX Line
Color: Black
This should be your standard go-to lens for any DX Nikon. For old school shooters like me, it is the equivalent of a 27 to 82.5 mm lens from the "old days" of shooting 35 mm film. If that doesn't register, it goes from moderate wide angle to a slight (portrait length) zoom. I've used it on a D70 and then a D7100, and unless you are working for National Geographic the quality is excellent. Fit and finish are very good, although it is not like the old days when Nikkor lenses were made in Japan; I believe this one was made in Vietnam. You will probably want to pair it with a longer telephoto, but Nikon makes an (relatively) affordable ($159 on Amazon Prime) 70-300 zoom (again, 105-450 equivalent for the old folks) that gives you a combined continuous range of 18-300. Unfortunately, if you want to go wider angle things get pricey; the best is a 16-85 for $499 and they go up, up, up from there. I am eyeing that one up because it replicates my old 24 mm film lens that I loved, but zoomed back to 18 this lens handles most situations. Have been using Nikons since 1970 and have never lost a shot to equipment failure. ... show more
