Pros:Sufficiently sharp (nothing phenomenal anyway), discreet and usually quiet autofocus (although I seem to have felt a slight vibration sometimes), lightness, bokeh surprising for the type of lens
Cons:There is a lack of A/M and VR rings, but above all, THE ANNOYING KEY OF THE LENS BLOCK (insert blasphemy at random)
Opinion:Reading the reviews, I was really amazed that no one mentioned the lens lock button thing. That is to say, before becoming ready to shoot, the lens must be put in place, pressing the appropriate button and rotating the zoom ring from the letter "L" to the desired focal point. Only, to go from "L" to 18mm, it must be rotated by at least 2.5-3cm... but who... is the Nikon genius who had this brilliant idea? who?? Please give me a name. I swear, I'm going to look for you. I'm going to find you. And you ucc--Ehrgahghmahfndms. Even canon's 15-45mm EF-M wasn't that annoying to use when I had it. And the most annoying thing is not the fact that you have to rotate 2.5 cm, no. But the force that you have to apply to the above button and during rotation, really disproportionate to what it represents. Together, however, both things will make you pull a lot of those blasphemies that Germano Mosconi raised. Then, why does it stick out so much when it's in place? Mah. For the rest, there is not much more to say. The lens is sharp enough at almost all focal points, surely those who are new to it will have little to complain about and take decent photos of us. I was really surprised at the bokeh, for the kind of lens it is. I haven't encountered the problem of chromatic aberrations and vignetting yet, but it will be because so far I've only used it to test the jpegs produced by my recently purchased D5600, so I think I'll update this review in the future. However, I do not see why a beginner should not be guided by an 18-140mm rather, which is now less than EUR 270, especially if you buy imports.
Opinion:It's a kit goal, so you can't say much: the af is lightning fast, it's sharp, but I think it suffers from building variability: flares, chromatic aberrations and vignette often at any focal point, but all this corrects itself in post, so no problem, or at least for me. The real problem is that in non-optimal light conditions the contrast I find weak and the flat colors, in short, it is not exciting. On the contrary, in situations where there is a good light. But it serves to learn, it has a classic focal range, it is very light, small, lightning fast, so you always carry it behind your body! I'd still pair it back to my D5600, even though it's now taking mold, replaced by 35mm f/1.8
Opinion:Reminding us that it is still the lens from kit by definition, it is ABSOLUTELY MORE THAN VALIDO. Good sharpness and minimal chromatic aberrations, considering the type of lens. With direct light, there's not much lens flare, despite the advice to spend 10 euros and buy yourself a lampshade. The focus is simply phenomenal, quick and silent, especially compared to that of the old 18-55 AF-S.
Opinion:I also read negative reviews about this goal. Which I have to tell you: I'll be lucky, because of the three thousand shots I made him do he didn't patch up practically any. It focused lightning and very quiet, excellent contrast and color, no vignette, no chores and, more importantly, perfect detail. The material used is not plastic but a robust and light polycarbonate with which even formula one machines are manufactured. Bought in kit with the D3500, it frankly surprised me and quite a lot, positively. Only do you have a right then? No: it has no buttons, so for focus and VR you have to use the camera controls. Small annoyance that does not affect the quality of the result. Considering also the price and the weight, my vote can only be 10.
Opinion:Sharp, fast, quiet, ultra light, very effective stabilization. The barrel distortion towards the wide-angle focals are automatically corrected, chromatic aberration (especially towards the edges) to be corrected in PP, flare almost inexistent, the real limit I find in the focal range, too normal, too limiting x my tastes, but these are personal tastes more than real flaws. Pulling the sums, considering the price, has unbeatable quality/price ratio, a best buy in practice. Today, April 2020 I update my review after a long period of use. Very relevant flaw: the white plastic cap to cover the bayonet! removing it and putting it back often scratches (the cap) internally, wearing free of the microscopic particles that go to dirty the sensor (at every lens change I was with the dirty sensor!) I solved it by changing it with the LF-4 cap. I haven't had any problems since.
