I was a bit skeptical for buying a refurbished lens, I have bought a few new Nikon lenses in the past. Have not had a problem with either. And for this price, if I break it I can buy a new one without being too upset!

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight

Short Zoom

I bought this to replace my old lens that came with my D50. I had bought a new D5000 body and my old lens was acting up. This one has the added VR feature. Very happy with it.

Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Vibration Reduction

Despite Amazon telling me that it fitted my camera, the D3100 and the fact that it attached to the camera the lens will not work with all but the latest Nikon cameras. The leaflet you get with the camera tells you that.

this lens is super sharp and arguably sharper than the very expensive 17-55mm 2.8.but not of the same build quality.the little click on HB-45 lens hood is great but not included.the down side is the plastic lens mount.

very sharp and vr

plastic lens mount

I purchased this lens back in October and have been meaning to write to say that 1 Stop Camera actually called and left a message on our machine to let us know that they sent the lens to us. I was very surprised to get such personalized service and wanted to commend them for that.

Love this lens. The right zoom range, the right price and great performance. What else can you ask for The VR is pretty effective, I have taken a few sharp pictures at below 1/15 shutter speed. Would definitely recommend this one for anyone looking for an all-purpose lens which is not so expensive.

This is my go-to lens for everyday photography. Perfect for point and shoot. It's easy to zoom in and out quickly. I keep this one on the camera at all times, and only switch to a premium lens when doing an intentional photo shoot.

The price is so affordable I don't know why I didn't buy it sooner. Imagine a Nikon Lens that is high quality and affordable!!!! Thank you Beach Camera!!!

Lightweight, Very, Very, Very quiet, Great images, the perfect compliment to my lens assortment; Fits my D1 like it was made for it

At first it did make some noise; but after a few focuses it got real quiet; (pro or con you decide

I would never buy anything but a Nikon!!!

While I hope to create a full Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site.
