Opinion:Lens that is used at very low prices and, combined with old but super cameras, such as the D 300, the D 300 S or the D 200 can offer performance to say the least excellent. It is not bright, but it is normal and it is better to always have it at hand. Surely you will not regret the purchase. I have two, precisely with D 300 S and D 200, which, apart from the limited sensitivity is a super excellent camera.
Opinion:I wrote this in the pros and cons because that's exactly where this lens is. It's done well, sturdy, big and heavy enough, it mounts 67mm filters, that is, you do a bit of everything. It's better than the 18-55 kit in all respects but the 18-105 VR AF-S surpasses it. It is often found used to a ridiculous figure and this makes it very desirable. If you have an old DX (all before 2015) it's definitely always fine. It doesn't excel at anything but as a standard it does a great job. Today's price rating: 8
Pros:Construction, compact size, good focal length
Cons:VR Absence, Only for DX
Opinion:I recently got hold of this lens, a little by accident and I took the opportunity to replace a 18-55 that I have practically never used (perhaps for the focal length for me very limited). Leaving Dicenco I was satisfied with the construction, metal attachment, right weight, nice bezel. My specimen is in really perfect condition and seems to be working properly, the AF is pleasantly reactive, I tried quelch photo both in outdoor and in closed places, but Counque bright. I'D say he's behaving well!!! It seemed to Me that the best results are obtained starting from F6, which is the conseghuenza that in situations not bright you have to help from the ISO and then you go to compromise... To date There are specimens from 70/80 € and personally it seems a great purchase if found under €100. A natural comparison is born (as already written..) with the 18-55, between the two the 18-70 comes out with a little head high on all fronts, greater focal length, aperture opening, construction, ridiculously AF. Recommend in relation to the price
Pros:Practical, versatile, light, good sharpness at all focal lengths.
Cons:No one... considering the price.
Opinion:I have this lens since always, bought in Kit with a D70s. Having more performing optics I always mistreated and relegated to the bottom of the photo backpack until I decided to try it. The "toy" has drawn character and good intentions. Good sharpness and good color restitution at all focal lengths. Closing the diaphragm, in good light conditions, results in unsuspected personalities. Used on Full Frame, with crop set in the machine, leaves bases. I don't call it the "toy" anymore and when you need it I use it with conviction. Obviously it is not a professional optics superbright, but every time I use it gives me good impressions. I recommend it, just to start... then you do!
Pros:Construction, compactness, AF speed and sharpness
Cons:Variable brightness but note
Opinion:Used a lot on the D80 and on the D90, sold buying D5300 and D3400 with 18-105Vr and 18-55VR. Now I've taken it back used to replace the 18-55 VR that's holding me tight. I was amazed at the quality on the 24mpx of the D5300 (and then also of the D3400), for goodness sake it is not perfect but how sharpness is definitely better than the 18-55 VR, as construction there is no comparison. Missing the VR is true however you can raise a little iso and brightness a little but it is better. Satisfied with the purchase having found one of the last built (from the serial number) at 140 euros. Recommended. I change this comment after a year of use along with the 18-105VR, VR apart from the 18-70 optically and mechanically on the 24 mpx is definitely better performing than the 18-105VR. Recommended for those who find a recent specimen in excellent condition like mine.
