Pros: Simple and Honest Lens, Good Image Contrast and sharpness, Surprisingly nice zooming and general handling, Quick Focus, Effective VR, good price if bought as part of a kit or split from a kit (white box)

Cons: Lack of Distance Scale, Lenshood not supplied as standard; Strong distortion, especially barrel at 18mm; Price, too expensive if bought as separate lens (Gold box) - many shops won't stock it as a separate for this reason.

Opinion: A standard zoom that you can just put on your Nikon (mine is D7100) and go out and use. You know that it will always do the job. Nothing pretentious or extravagant about it at all. Replaces the non stabilised 18-135mm Nikon. Basically, I sold my aged Mk 1 Nikkor 18-200mm, which I never really liked and by buying a new, split from kit white box on Ebay, only had to find a few pounds extra. Because of the shorter range than the 18-200mm it handles much better, never feels cumbersome and more importantly, unlike that 18-200mm, is reliably and consistently sharp at all normally used daylight apertures and is still fully usable at f5.6 @ 140mm. Build Quality is acceptable and adequate - you won't be celebrating its robustness but neither will you have real reason to question it either. Like all modern Nikon lenses, drop it and it's broken but if used normally, will last a good few years, until you upgrade. Equivalent to a still very useful 27-210mm in full frame terms, it's a really useful walkabout landscape lens. I carry a longer lens, too, such as Sigma 120-400mm and always carry a Nikkor 10-24mm for wider use. I would prefer a distance scale and I think it is wrong for Nikon to not include a lenshood, I always carry and use one but this one is not too expensive (20 Euro) on Amazon. There's no zoom lock but mine shows no creep, the zoom is really nicely weighted. Close focus is about the usual for such a zoom these days, useful for picking out a flower and such at 140mm but not much more than that. Strong barrel distortion at 18mm and pincushion at longer lengths yet still less than that 18-200mm and the characteristics are uniform and so are easily correctable in processing. In conclusion, until Nikon (or a third party) can reliably convince of very good image quality (a Sigma Art, perhaps??!) that cover a longer reach then this lens will do. It is unexciting and rather boring but is still a good dependable lens for just about anyone and of any standard, The Juza score of 9.2 seems very high, meaning a good number of users awarded a 10/10, I think more like an 8/10 but then thinking what it cost me and what it delivers, then I'll go with 9/10.

Pros: 7.8X zoom range...4 stops of V.R. .... you can get as close to 1.48feet from your subject for macro-style close up...lightweight... has one AS-aspherical lens elements ...has ED-extra low dispersion element and super ED glass. so for the money you get a top notch versatile lens

Cons: polycarbonate plastic ..its not frigel like an egg but if do drop it...bang it around....rough with it you might have problems or broken lens

Opinion: If you are needing a general purpose or a travel lens to use i think this is a great one to get. i am own a budget i was needing this type of lens my first choice was the nikon 16-85mm lens but its so expensive i was looking for a used one and still expensive so i went to adorama and found this one for $294.00 U.S.A dollors this was in my budget to spend and i have no regrets. i do recommend going to amazon and looking for a lens hood for it i found one for $3.00 U.S.A. dollors. then getting a great polarizer filter like hoya HD or B+W with the way the lens is made with all the special glass using a polarizer it makes your photos pop i have really enjoy this lens

Pros: Versatility, optical stabilization better than 18-105mm, color rendering

Cons: Vignetting, sharpness at the edges of the frame at the maximum focal length that leaves something to be desired

Opinion: Bought as a replacement for the 18-105mm that I had used for years and that now gave me some problems probably because of the ineffective VR \\defective (long history ...), I am pleasantly impressed by the VR (more effective than that of the 18-105mm) and the color rendering. After doing some quick tests, however, I find that at the maximum focal length it is rather "soft" at the edges of the frame even at f/11 ... what a disappointment. Another rather obvious flaw (to the face of those who say that "you do not see it in real life") is the vignetting, since I happen to take relatively often photos of the sea, I can confirm that there is and that it goes away only by closing the diaphragm a little. (And no, please, do not tell me that there is Lightroom or Fotoscioppe and that you can remove it there, I know it very well too, I can not afford every time to shoot in raw and edit hundreds of files on a processor that today is not even the top of the range and that takes me some time. Sometimes, I am forced to use the jpeg, e.g. when I have to capture very fast actions, being the buffer of my machine what it is.). Rating: anyway 83/100. P.S. I also note that, having few blades of the diaphragm (7), this lens will produce poor sunstars even at apertures above f / 22. If someone cares: someone definitely doesn't, since it's more of a travel goal, so I don't put it in the cons.

Pros: Versatility, image quality, lightness, price

Cons: Lampshed not supplied

Opinion: Excellent quality lens in the field of wide focal excursion zooms (and also available in kits). The only flaw is the absence of the standard lampshon (easily solved with the purchase of an economical compatible lampshed). For the rest it is an optics that allows you to photograph almost everything (landscapes, details, portraits, trips and holidays, events), characterized by reduced weight and footprint, excellent stabilizer, sharpness and image quality good for the type of lens, economical if bought in kit but also purchased new or used. In my opinion the best of the all-rounder lenses that allows you to go out with a single lens (zooms with greater focal excursion, for example 18-200/18-300, have higher weights and costs that in my opinion do not justify the extra mm). The brightness is obviously typical of this type of zoom, and it makes no sense to expect this lens to perform shorter, brighter and at a different cost. Where available, I recommend buying it in kits with the machine body.

Pros: Price, Good for all seasons, is a Nikon.

Cons: At this preZZo, nothing.

Opinion: I waited a while, I would say quite a bit, to write my opinion on this lens that I bought apart after the body of the D-7500. It is an all-rounder lens that undoubtedly, if I had to go out one day without being able to carry my backpack with the Kit, it would be the chosen focal point to insert in the bayonet. The reason is soon said: where and how you put it, it almost never disappoints you and allows you to cover a huge multitude of nesses without disfiguring, from the panorama, to the detail, to the portrait. It is true, you pay in brightness, but on balance also evaluating the weight on the chamber, I challenge you to find a more versatile optics. I do not have the technical skills to unroll defects that I cannot perceive, but as above, it is difficult to find a Nikon lens or the next competition, at this price with these characteristics. The lampshed, which I broke on a trip, I bought it online for 3 euros, just for...
