Pros: Small, Light, Very useful, does its duty and for the economic price it is advisable to have it in the photographic set...

Cons: For the professional is not useful, look for the best goal, for my part not being a useful and regular professional...

Opinion: Taken for the second time, regretting having sold it the first time, I claimed and took it again together with the D90 a bargain, now I don't give it away anymore... And always useful, small light, not bulky, not bright patience, just bring it and photograph it when the sun is there, and take amazing photos... For bad weather or in the evening I have the DX-35-f/1.8 excellent of its kind and my... You also need to know how to photograph with low brightness and quality goalses, see the photos that run on the WEB also on Juza there are many beautiful photos, made by very good photographers and maybe not professionals. To conclude and an Excellent Goal not to be criticized.... I just have to buy a light screen for this goal, in the first 18-55 VR lens I sold was together and I didn't think about taking it off and keeping it... Greetings to all... (MGNELLO)

Pros: Good picture quality if you don't go up with the sensor, efficient VR, good price of used

Cons: manufacturing in economics

Opinion: Nikon's classic 'entry level' lens designed to garnish the most amateur machine bodies, but with unsuspected qualities. To the touch and sight it looks a bit cheap, but coupled with a D3000 body it allowed me to capture images of a quality I never expected. My experience: in 2009 during a trip to Sicily, I had decided to travel light with the D3000 (10 mpix) and only one lens: the 18-55. The validity of the pairing I discovered inside the Palatine Chapel, where freehand, always at full opening and without flash, I photographed the mosaics with the aim of being able to look at myself at home and calmly the infinite details of those masterpieces. Therefore: valid optics (at least my specimen) with an effective VR able to give acceptable results even at full opening (if you do not go up too much with mpix). Compared to the current version (P) it has two advantages: that of always being ready to shoot because it does not have to be unhooked and extended in order to be used and consequently also that of having a smaller footprint that facilitates its transport. VOTE 8. EDIT: After much shooting and experience with 10 mpix and 24 mpix DSLR. I was able to verify that this lens is perfectly suitable for older generation 6-10 mpix digital cameras, but it is unsuitable for more populated sensors on which it produces poorly engraved images. For later models, the 18-105 or 18-140 are preferable

Pros: Pro: Great price performance ratio, adequate rendering across the frame, good reproduction ratio, efficient VR, size, weight, stabilizer, precise and sharp AF, silent, 28cm minimum effective focus and very useful, very good flare resistance , 52mm filters.

Cons: Cons: Brightness and design quality, manual focus ring very uncomfortable and inaccurate, autofocus a bit slow, front ring rotates with fire so you can not mount polarized filters except some, plastic bayonet, lack of bayonet seal.

Opinion: Already said everything in pros and cons. Objective from school, as I call it, because it helped me to figure out what goals they were going to serve me later. I still have this lens and I use it now only on Nikon D3000, battle reflexes, for events and events (it draws little attention from those who have too long hands).

Pros: Very good price performance ratio, optimal yield, good breeding, VR efficient

Cons: Factor limited zoom, maximum equivalent focal length a bit 'short

Opinion: It 'was my first goal. Fundamentally, it does its job. The shots are good, not flawless but still usable. The stabilizer has always allowed me to take safely with 1/15 s. It still is the lens with the highest reproduction ratio I've ever had. Only drawback, flanked at 55-300, forced me to change too often optics, which is why at one point I replaced it with a 18-140. 8 vote

Pros: economic objective than admirably fulfilling its task.

Cons: Absolutely nothing, the value for money is great.

Opinion: Given that almost never the photos are poor for a view of guilt must be said that this is definitely a great find him zoom.Inutile defects comparing optical expensive, comparisons are made between equivalent optical and this is certainly a view that performs well that for which is utilizzata.rnBuona construction, the cliché about the use of plastic is definitely discredited, the plastic if well construction is virtually indestructible, see the ashtrays of auto.Ovvia the inevitable distortion at wide open aperture, so as well as a bit 'vignetting, but overall it is an economic objective, the results are satisfactory, definitely to keep in also supplied as a spare fiber in a context of the finest glass.
