| About This Brand |
|---|
Nikon is also a world leader in cameras and lenses. The company currently sells about dozens of auto-focus lenses and several manual focus lenses under the Nikkor brand. It splits its lenses between a standard F-Mount category and a smaller DX format class designed specifically for its small size sensor DX-format digital SLRs but can be used on full-size sensor bodies using the camera’s sensor crop settings. Nikkor auto-focus and manual-focus lenses cover a variety of focal lengths and price points and are divided into seven main categories: zoom, micro (aka macro), fisheye, wide angle, normal, telephoto, and PC, which is Nikon's tilt-shift category. |

Great Lens!
02/25/2008
Strength
Fast Auto-Focus, Image Stabilization
Weakness
focus hunts a bit in low light, plastic casing
I purchased this lens with the 18-70mm lens that came with my Nikon D40 camera. It is lighter and smaller. I really like the VR, it is possible to take a photograph from a moving vehicle.

best vr zoom lens for its price
12/14/2007
Strength
1 - light (lighter than 18-70)2 - slow focus, feels slower than AF-S (50 f/1.8), but more accurate (compared to 50 f/1.8), focused correctly with first try3 - nice kit lens feel
Weakness
made in china.. but can't complain with its features and price!
This is a godsend light weight zoom lens, due to VR (Vibration Reduction), you can be free of tripod to take casual pictures at home or when you travel. With 18-55 Kit and this, I only need SB400 and sigma 30mm F1.4 to complete my Nikon D40 lens set. The pictures and memories you shot with this zoom lens are priceless, go for it if you are still hesitating.
