Pros: Léger,polyvalent,excellent a f/8,souvent sous estimer,bien pris en main capable de merveille a moindre cout

Cons: Un peu fragile

Opinion: C'est mon objectif de tous les jours,certes c'est un objectif standard ,mais il fait le job,se comporte très bien en voyage,très polyvalent,allant du paysage a la proxyphoto en passant par le portrait. Un peu de distorsion a 18mm mais sa s'arrange a 24mm. Ceci dit c'est un objectif a utiliser en journée, des la nuit tombé cela se complique,donc je l'accompagne du 35mm f/1,8g . En conclusion c'est un très bon objectif standard pouvant dépanner a merveille....

Pros: Light, Sharp, Fast (focus), inexpensive

Cons: f5.6 at long end isn't ideal, could be built more solid

Opinion: I bought a d7100 body only because I did not think this lens was worth buying. Locally a guy was selling cheaply and I bought as a stop gap until I could afford a better lens. I was surprised at how good it is as focussing and how well the colours and contrast and by how sharp it is. OK it is not a fixed or fast aperture lens (so its not fantastic in lower light, but f5.6 at anything over 80 is still good for portrait isolation), but I rate it about as good as my previously owned 24-105mm f4 L that i owned when I used canon. To me its that good and certainly a lens I will be keeping

Pros: versatility, cost, AF, VR

Cons: edge sharpness, distortion around 18mm, microcontrast

Opinion: A classic economic all-rounder, from whom miracles cannot be expected. The construction is in my opinion discreet and functional, albeit plastic. The focal range allows you to use it in many circumstances, which makes it excellent for approaching photography without investing much, or to keep as a spare or emergency lens, but it certainly does not make you want to be used. The focus is acceptable. As a con, it certainly has sharpness, really low at maximum aperture, improves around f.8, but remains degraded on the edges in any case, at all focal lengths. It suffers from slight chromatic aberrations and fixable vignetting, I wouldn't point to that as the main problem. A big problem, however, if you do street, architecture or landscaping, can be the distortion, which is really present and annoying, at 18mm almost unusable in these cases. In addition, photos with this lens have low microcontrast and little character, the colors are acceptable. The lens is clearly dark, but it is something that can already be guessed by reading the technical sheet, so I would not include it in the defects. In conclusion, I can recommend this lens only if you want to spend as little as possible and have a very ductile object, and not having quality claims, which probably will not be satisfied

Pros: Versatility, AF, VR, price

Cons: Flat images (little microcontrast), it's dark, sharp wide open

Opinion: The lens is built completely in plastic but for what it costs it fits... The 18-105mm focal length allows you to photograph a bit of everything: from a medium wide angle to a small telephoto lens. Brightness isn't its strong point, and wide open, especially in landscapes, it's very unsharp. Ok from f/8. (For close subjects it is sharp even at full aperture). The images are often a bit flat and dull; You can see that this lens has little microcontrast. The colors are not bad but there must always be good light. Focusing is very fast and rather quiet although not always 100% accurate. For me, who has just started photographing, it can also be good for its versatility and low price, but I feel that sometimes it is a bit tight especially with regard to the aperture and the little microcontrast that does not give character to the photos. All in all it's pretty sharp and the focus isn't bad.

Pros: Multipurpose

Cons: Not very sharp (maybe only on my D90)

Opinion: Maybe I have a problem of front or back focus with this lens because used with manual MAF it is perfect but on the D90 there does not seem to be any possibility of calibration. Moreover, mine is starting to have a bit of mold on the inside of the front lens. It unbalances the D90 forward (not really its ideal lens).
