The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on February 01, 2019 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! |
  | sent on January 29, 2019 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. |
user36759  | sent on March 06, 2018 Pros: Focal excursion, fast focus, brightness Cons: nobody Opinion: I owned it for a while 'time a few years ago.rnComodo for focal excursion and brightness, in short, good general performance. Minimum distance of focus to me not congenial, but it is not a defect.rnAncor before possessing it, I compared it with a 18-55 vr, and in optimal situation there was absolutely no qualitative difference, but it is in the focus that is definitely another planet! rnThis lens is chosen for the current price and the overall good performance. |
 | sent on March 06, 2018 Pros: Value for money Cons: Brightness and general yield Opinion: I think this lens more than others should be seen from the perspective of the quality / price ratio.rnIf I had to make a judgment in itself on the lens I would say "is not bad" because I could use objectives that in my opinion have a better performance ( eg 50 1.8), if I had to pay the price quoted on this page I would say "NO, thank you" .rnBut if you consider that this is a lens that came out in kit (at the time I found it with the D70S) and that today can find at prices of all respect then the quality that offers depending on the price at which it is good.rnAttualmente the mounts (in a very casual way) on D300s, but after buying the 50 1.8 and the bighiera ... I keep it only for trips / walks where I do not want / time / way to change the lens (I'm not particularly fond of the focal lengths). I honestly thought to sell it, but being so low quote I keep it like everything else. |
 | sent on March 05, 2018 Pros: Compact Cons: Quality (?) Probably due to a strong variability in the production process Opinion: Absolutely negative experience. My sample was practically unusable (on a D7000), the image was lacking in clarity and it just became enough diaphragmming to f8. I had found a used intonso, in kit with a D60 also the practically new one that had done a few hundred shots. Maybe that coupled was also fine (I doubt it) since the sensor of the machine reached 10 mpix, but the D7000 was unusable due to its lack of clarity. I returned it the next day. In general, the reviews of this perspective (at international level) are generally positive but with a certain variation that goes from the enthusiastic to the 'good with reserves ...', from my negative experience we can then deduce that the production process of this perspective did not provide for adequate quality controls (adjusted to the selling price and the brand reputation). My suggestion is to perform reliable tests before finalizing a possible purchase and in doubt: to abstain, it must also be said that the current price of thesato (around 130 euros in March 2018) is overestimated for a perspective so dated and with its intrinsic limits. Vote 1 (UNO) due to the lack of quality in production. |
 | sent on November 09, 2017 Pros: Versatility, cost Cons: Not very bright Opinion: It is a versatile lens for the focal points it has. It's still a zoom and kite, so the lens brightness is not high, but overall picture quality is good and good shots can be obtained. There's distortion to the more open but manageable focal points. At construction level it is solid and well built. |
 | sent on May 12, 2017 Pros: Construction, solidity, sharpness, focal length, weight Cons: Brightness Opinion: I bought it a couple of years ago to replace the classic 18-55 nikon of the base kit and I have not replaced it anymore. RnI gave me so much satisfaction from the point of view of the photo (that 70 final It gives you an extra zooming hair that does not hurt) than using it in itself. The materials with which it is constructed are good and provide a sense of robustness. The photos have a good performance although unfortunately it is not a very bright opt. RnAccording to me it is a good value compromise especially if it is between 100-150 € .rnI recommend it! |
 | sent on May 05, 2017 Pros: Construction, sharpness at 18mm focal length, fast AF Cons: Sharpness at 70mm Opinion: Bought used to replace the 18-55 kit by spending very little. Clearly better overall, construction, sharpness, AF, focal range and 4.5.rn opening. For those wondering if it is worth replacing, absolutely it! I'm sorry I did not do it before, too, because it's really in really accessible figures. The only one against, for the price it is, is the sharpness at 70mm, the photos are often mingled and not very sharp.rnWonderful |
  | sent on March 16, 2016 Pros: Good construction, crisp, focal excursions that allow you to do anything, fast and accurate autofocus, bright to be a zoom Cons: It loses slightly sharpness at 70mm Opinion: I used it for years and I must say that has always given me wonderful results. For the price at which it is now I think it is a handyman to try and buy. Tested on D70, D70s, D200, D2X, D300, Fuji S5 Pro has not missed a shot and color rendering and detail that I returned with these cameras and 'truly remarkable. Personally I highly recommend the purchase especially if you find it for less than 100 euros |
 | sent on August 20, 2015 Pros: Robust. It indicates the distance of focus. Attack metal. Fast AF Cons: Vignetting really strong. Lack VR. Distortion at low focal. Zoom ring uncomfortable. Opinion: I own the objective for almost 10 years, that is since I bought it in a kit with the D70.rnIl most obvious flaw that I can mention is the vignetting, very visible and annoying when you work in "fully open" .rnInoltre the zoom ring is hard and focal slightly 'tablets; It is uncomfortable when you have to make the shot as it tends to "snap" between focal very diverse.rnrnPer else does his hog work; I never tried the other 18-xx of Nikon; what they all say, this has its build quality. Personally I brought in water (not under, but still at the level of salt spray), in Lapland to -25, in the deserts of California to +45 and I also fell. I did not consider myself a piega.rnrnLo sharp, but usually when I mount this is to picture where we hardly boundary conditions are challenging. A 18 distortion, however correct by newer bodies, is well visibile.rnrn |
 | sent on August 16, 2015 Pros: Compact, strong, sharp 18 to 55mm Cons: Poor to 70mm. Opinion: Purchased through barter, basically it costs me just a little. Under "C", he must have seen the sorts of raw, but no whistles and noises. Very valuable to replace 18-55 std. rnMessa focus from good to very good, I used it a lot, then I found the first one 16-85 and then I bought the Tamron 16-300 so in recent months remains to casa.rnProvato on the D610, the focus has become instant fairly accurate. Among the zoom it remains the favorite for environmental portrait, though the beats with 50 / 1.8. |
 | sent on April 20, 2015 Pros: Construction, compactness, speed AF Cons: dim Opinion: I recently purchased this lens, I found it used at a really interested, I'm satisfied. The construction is better than the 18-55 or 18-105, excellent focal range, and af fast and accurate. The sharpness of the lens from f5.6 to f11 is very good. The only downside of this is that it is not very bright, but for the price at which you can find it is definitely a great choice. |
 | sent on September 05, 2014 Pros: Good zoom range, solid construction, the possibility of purchasing a bargain price in used. Cons: Unclear at room temperature, the absence of stabilizer, very resistant to flare Opinion: an optical certainly dated, born in a kit with the D70, 6 mpx camera, an instant bestseller in the early 2000s, which gives the best of himself. In my humble opinion can not resolve well on sensors up to 10 mpx, as well as become inadequate. I hope that no one will buy it at a good price for attaching it to a D7100 sensor with 24 megapixel or similar machines. |
 | sent on September 04, 2014 Pros: construction, focal length, lens hood, AF speed, price (used) Cons: lack VR, sharpness at the edges Opinion: Got used to 100 € from a guy who has sold all his equipment after the first tests I realized that at that price it was a bargain! Hardly the detachment from the car, when because of the low light I inevitably use the VR. This is its main limitation. If we want, even a few millimeters more on the short would be really good, but you can not ask for everything. Gives some solid feel: the construction, compared to 18-55, is another planet, bigger, heavy, hard. At the first shot AF speed left me amazed, accustomed to 18-55 which is a sloth, this is lightning, and even in low light does not hesitates. The petal-type hood works well but the bayonet is a bit 'hard, at first I did not take thinking of breaking it. The sharpness is good at f / 8, cala opening, and suffers at the edges. A 70mm is not that good, good for close-ups, because if you get close to the subject to f / 4.5 on aps-c is the blurred fsee well. However one recovers a lot with a little 'PP. Suffers backlit if you do attenzione.rnLa lack of VR forces you to pay attention to the times or to use well the car ISO, who has the advanced version of this feature can program a speed always double the focal and feel comfortable. The only reason I have not yet sold the 18-55VR is precisely that when the lights go down as the VR serves. The new Sigma 17-70 would be the synthesis of the two, sooner or later I'll decide. rnSe you find a good price, under 100 €, is a affare.rnrnEDIT: did calibrate the camera's AF, suffered Front Focus. The sharpness is considerably increased. |
 | sent on July 02, 2012 Pros: To be standard .. individually "should" cost a little ... Cons: Focus on the entire field of vision must be very precise and therefore it is quite difficult, low yield edges Usual problem as many other nikon and not only that of course ... the ring to infinity focus MUST stop .. and instead continues to run on the other hand, maybe you would expect from Nikon better ... ! Opinion: Well as said for those who are forced to use it in manual as to the undersigned, as the focus on the moving subject with the Nikon camera now than a few years ago (D80) is a tragedy, not the best, after 4 years, 7000 shots, maybe took a botterella 4 months ago but has always gone lately ... now the focal ring is blocked by paragraphs 24 and 35 which goes beyond as it seems to read on the Internet seems to be a problem already known. .. the face of resistance! (To repair it hard to think about) |
 | sent on March 02, 2012 Pros: Quality / price ratio in its class, compact, high excursion, metal clasps. Cons: Flare when you have the sun side. Opinion: I have this light for almost 3 years. Socket used and paid 140 euro has done to great his duty. In its category (18-55, 18-105, 18-135, etc. ..) and in this price range in my opinion is the best lens. Starting from the constructive conception is older and therefore more solid. The attack in the metal than the plastic of his successors sibling, is a feature not to be underestimated. The hike from 18 to 70 does not make it a true all-round prorpio but has less distortion than the 18-105 problems. Clear more than its price would suggest. The only drawback is the flare which stumbles when the sun's rays entering the picture from the sides. The halo is striking and very difficult to remove in post. Enough, however, always use the lens hood and do a little 'attention in such situations. Excellent first lens, I use it in tandem with the 70-300 VR and I have traveled far and wide. |
