AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm ƒ/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens review
Filter Size: 67mm
Lens Mount: Plastic
Close Focus: 1.5 feet
Internal Focusing: yes
Body Type: DX
This is the kit lens that was sold with the D90 and D7000 body. It is relatively small and light and sharp. This to me makes it an ideal “walk around” or “travel lens” as it does cover a wide angle to short telephoto range. The VR technology assists in maintaining sharpness in low conditions and I found this to be very useful.
Auto focus is quick and silent as you would expect. The close focus range is useful for close ups but it is not a macro lens in anyway. It is very sharp throughout its range with a bit of softness at the 105 mark (after all it is a zoom) but not glaringly so.
I always have this lens on a second body as it’s the ideal lens to first grab when taking photos.
Build quality is good. The lens mount is plastic but I have never been concerned about it.
