At this sort of price this is a remarkable piece of equipment. Despite its shortcomings, the simple truth is it will outperform many of the photographers that use it, and even with many years of experience behind me I include myself here.

Capable of very good results

Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR DX AF-S Nikkor review by moose

Nikon professional user. This lens should be in your camera bag if you like simple blur-free photographs. The VR is superb. It is super-light and sharp. Fine on my D300 and D3100 cameras when I don't want to carry a heavy zoom and the results are perfect in good light conditions.

ultra light and sharp lens for use on all DX cameras
