Pros: Perfect for getting started in a kit with a camera - Lightweight, easy to use and cheap - precise autofocus, good sharpness and

Cons: Pretty present chromatic aberrations - Show its limitations by going slightly out of the box and with professional purposes

Opinion: As an amateur photographer and videomaker I would say that this lens is really fantastic for those who start to enter the world of digital machines. Very light, easy to use and with a good visual rendering. The maximum opening of 5.6 (4.5 only at 18mm) is certainly not suitable for many things and in scarcity of light proves its flaws, however if used in standard situations can come out so many interesting shots. The chromatic aberration is very present; although with retouching software you can eliminate it almost completely, sometimes there are still some flaws in the details. The distortion of the lens, on the other hand, is not annoying and corrects easily. Even for video recording he does very well. VR works well, even if you don't have to overdo it with movements; if we can keep the camera we manage to have fairly stable shots that can be safely adjusted in post-production. The autofocus is not noisy and always remains very precise. The focus dial is very fluid and using the manual focus is always a pleasure; Zoom is a bit stiff, so it's hard to avoid that jerky effect during videos. For the photo side I took close-ups, landscapes, moving photos during sports matches and concerts (some I put them on the juza profile): never had dissatisfaction, except for personal mistakes. Very often I did not feel the need to touch up the photos so much because both the contrast and the vividness of the colors was satisfactory. For the video side, in addition to some sporadic footage, I used it to record a couple of live music inside a club. The videos didn't come bad, however as a lens it is definitely not suitable for this purpose. Quite stable by bare hand, the 60 fps of the D3400 gave that dynamic touch, but the lack of opening made them decidedly dark and a little depreciated when I didn't have the stage lights in favor. Let's say that for simple videos in general you can settle. To date it is not better to buy it separately, but only if included with the machine body because of quality alternatives there are many. However it is a nice lens that allows you to make several nice shots and shots, a great starting point and then move on to something more expensive once you have experienced.

Pros: AF fast, it only comes in kit

Cons: Approximate construction, shoddy materials, plastic bayonet, zoom dial that goes in jerky, short-focused chromatic aberrations, bad Autofocus in videos, very strong vignette to almost all focal and diaphragms.... I could add more but I'll stop here

Opinion: Slow to say the least ridiculous! If they give it to you in kit is also fine, you can use it as a body cap machine(!). Seriously, after trying it/used for a long time to convince me that it was not really a crap, something good there is (very little). With VERY light from decent results only to 35 and up focals. For the rest it leaves a lot to be desired: Construction too light/delicate, does not absorb the natural movements of photographing and you have to constantly use VR (NOTE: in my life, 45 years of photography, I never needed the stabilizer!). Zoom inwide position (18 mm) slams into the window at the end of the race (I think put them on purpose so as not to split the mirror). The brightness is not as stated but from the measurements you can safely add a stop, it becomes a 4.5 - 8. Strong vignette.

Pros: Lightness, precision and autofocus speed, price

Cons: No

Opinion: I bought this lens to shoot movies with my D750. It is very fast and precise in focusing and especially does not disturb the audio recording with noises. It is not very bright so it should be used with good light. It's a DX Unfortunately, I expected that other lenses also come out for FX, maybe a 24/70, but it seems to me that at the moment there is nothing on the horizon.

Pros: All. Negligible cost (often now kit lens on DX machines), killer sharpness (at all openings and all mm), instantaneous and precise autofocus, so light to forget to have it in your pocket, fantastic stabilization with many sharp shots even at 1/4 and 1/5, and In addition to 55 mm (almost 85 equivalents). Amazing Bokeh for the type of lens.

Cons: Nothing. It's a little "cheap" and plasticose construction like many Nikkor's, but it costs less than a dinner in a starry restaurant, so...

Opinion: I found it in kit on D5600, and I was doubtful, coming from another hideous old 18-55 VR in kits on the D3200 I had until 2013 (I had the impression had failed) but I was stunned since the first release. A little killer. Light as a feather. You shoot, shoot and shoot, with 95 and over shots on 100 without errors or softness (and when there were, the fault was mine). Sharpness little distinguishable from a prime. VR at the limits of the miraculous, with the vast majority of sharp shots even at 1/5 and with success tips, obviously rarer, even to 1/3 (!). A boon to anyone who is quite allergic to tripod like me. It costs so little that even it should fall apart after three years... it rebuys without problems (I would buy it tomorrow if it broke today). Chromatic Rendering and microcontrast at par with many higher Nikkor. I updated the firmware of the D800 (did not support it) and I tried it on her too, and goes as smooth as the oil even them (from Raw, pulling up the shots at 24 mpx, go a Marvel). The vote is 10. For the value for money, it would take an 11.

Pros: Lightness sharpness Price

Cons: No one for what it costs.

Opinion: Taken in kit with D 5500by Mediaworld taking advantage of a 33% discount on the kit for my daughter. I was surprised I didn't think that such a cheap optics would be so sharp even at close range. Also proven on d500 and d810 for sheer curiosity and also here is excellent image quality. Ok It's all plastic distorts suffers from the backlight but for what it costs goes all too well rated 9.

Pros: Cost, weight, compactness, autofocus and sharpness

Cons: No external keys, ghosting effect in some situations

Opinion: I have been holding this optic for about three months, bought in kit with the D5300 and I'm more than satisfied. In fact I would have wanted to buy her big brother in Kit, that is, 18-105 but I took advantage of a strong discount in a commercial business near my home "limiting myself" to 55mm.rnE 'optics from a kit then basic optics to get started, Ranges from a lightweight wide angle to a "normal" focal point, so suitable for landscape photos, street photo and wanting to venture on some very high floor. Being a basic optician you can not ask for more for the price it is sold. Positive are certainly the price, the compactness seen as the chance to collapse it and the reduced weight. Good sharpness is offered above all if you shoot at intermediate focal lengths. Fast also autofocus, degrades slightly in low light conditions but I think it is acceptable. Negative ones are definitely the absence of external buttons for the VR which I think are comfortable. In some situations I riskA slight ghosting effect. Until now I have not seen flare or chromatic aberration.

Pros: The price, the stabilization, the sharpness and the absence of flare in the backlight

Cons: For the ridiculous cost I would say no one

Opinion: Excellent sharpness and good stabilization, has no excessive flare problems. In its category, absolutely entrylevel, it has no rivals. It's giving me a lot of satisfaction....... you can look at my gallery to get an idea of this versatile optics, which I am using in different light conditions, even in the long exposures..... for the moment I consider myself satisfied

Pros: for its price, and used on the new 5600 d is not 'just bad, even the optical stabilizer and the focus seems normally fast and precise incision good but d 5600 needs more' pepper therefore recommend a more objective ' performing.

Cons: you can not 'use the d 3000 does not recognize the right lens is grafted like all the goals <nikon but does not work.

Opinion: I have bought a kit with d 5600 and thought to mount it on the second body of 3000 but I got a nice rip-off and not 'compatible, the machine does not recognize it proprio.questo is not written anywhere or I missed something ? used on the d 5600 I found myself quite well. adequate stabilization for the price, making accurate and usually fast enough good fire engraving of 5600 but we must give more 'pepper because' 'is a beautiful machine, precise, fast, light, but well-made, technologically advanced and should be mounted optics more 'performance. If deserves

Pros: sharpness, autofocus speed, excellent focus ring

Cons: structure altogether more fragile and economic VRII, the absence of external keys, overexpose highlights and above suffer much ghosting

Opinion: The autofocus is very very fast, clear improvement on the VR II and the focus ring full time even excellent. rnNote less positive: in addition to an obvious problem of ghosting and overexposure of highlights, the structural design the production is even more economical than its predecessor, and if the zoom ring is slightly smoother, but the release button is really poor, as well as the new front cap 55mm. To turn off the VR and to activate the manual focus from the display must pass, with the touch of D5500 but it takes little in the other cameras is a long procedure ... for the presence of external keys better VR II, which gives even the feeling of having greater strength, better balance the dynamic range, better seal and contrast in backlit and, without much doubt, a better overall performance.

Pros: Weight and dimensions, balanced as a quality and rendered, performs its work extensively. When the sleeveless lens really moves! Feather-weight.

Cons: Being a basic objective, you can not expect much more. RnThe VR and MF setting from machine settings, they removed the external buttons, I found them comfortable.rnI should notice the 16mm stroke to close.

Opinion: With its soft manual fire ring it is appreciated, pleasing to use. With AF fast enough and silent engine for single shots. This goal has improved video performance. Making justice to Nikon car bodies with interesting features but with the family of previous 18-55 targets were mortified in shifting fire too much compared to Canon competitors etc ... an interesting starting point. RnrnI think Nikon should provide 16-80 lens as a base kit and lower the price much !!! rnThis would be a nice endowment to indulge with full focal range for starter on apsc.rnrnAggiorn July 2017rn I added the hood that was not in I have to say that for exteriors on bright days the little nn if the hollow then so bad ..... i have a very close fnse close F6 / 8 and focus on how God commands (do not open and Shoots) gets pretty sharp .... 24 mm (eq 35mm) i like it.rnl AF and fast, over 35 dx which then begins to be a really interesting target (i do not know if i blame the macBut 35 l AF is really slow) Internal rnrnIn obviously turns out to be dark and therefore difficult but not impossible to use! RnrnThen turn with d3300 with 35 glued on and 18-55 in pocket for Grandmother ....
