Pros: Sufficiently sharp (nothing phenomenal anyway), discreet and usually quiet autofocus (although I seem to have felt a slight vibration sometimes), lightness, surprising bokeh for the type of lens

Cons: The A / M and VR rings are missing, but above all, THE ANNOYING LENS LOCK BUTTON (insert blasphemy at random)

Opinion: Reading the reviews, I was truly 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, by pressing the appropriate button and rotating the zoom ring from the letter "L" towards the desired focal length. Except that, to go from "L" to 18mm, it must be rotated by at least 2.5-3cm ... but who c... is it the genius at Nikon who had this brilliant idea? who?? Please give me a name. I swear to you, I will look for you. I'll find you. And you ucc--Ehrgahghmahfndms. Canon's 15-45mm EF-M wasn't so annoying to use either, 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 button above and during rotation, really disproportionate for what it is. Together, however, both things will make you pull many 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 lengths, for sure those who are beginners will have little to say and will make us decent photos. I was really surprised by the bokeh, for the kind of lens it is. I have not yet encountered the problem of chromatic aberrations and vignetting, but it will be because so far I have only used it to test the jpegs produced by my D5600, recently purchased, so I believe I will update this review in the future. I do not see, however, why a beginner should not orient himself on a 18-140mm rather, which are now less than 270 euros, especially if you buy imported.

Pros: AF, sharpness

Cons: No one, it serves to learn

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

Pros: Quality, sharpness, AF speed.

Cons: Nothing relevant.

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.

Pros: All.

Cons: Lack of keys to insert manual focus and VR.

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.

Pros: Sharp, light, stabilized

Cons: Chromatic aberrations, focal range

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.
