Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX review
This compact and affordable 5.8x zoom NIKKOR lens offers remarkable
versatility and covers a broad focal range of 18 to 105mm. When mounted on
any DX-format Nikon digital SLR camera, the picture angle is equivalent to
that produced by a 27 to 157.5mm focal length lens on a 35mm-format film
camera or Nikon FX-format camera. An ultra-compact SWM built into the lens
body ensures fast, quiet and accurate autofocus operation and complements
the compact design for superb handling. Nikon’s VR function,
specifically engineered for each NIKKOR lens, gives photographers the
ability to shoot handheld at shutter speeds up to three stops* slower than
would otherwise be possible. The VR function helps minimize image blur
caused by camera shake, delivering dramatically sharper pictures especially
in low light conditions such as in interiors and at dusk. The VR function
also stabilizes the camera?€™s viewfinder image, making composition
easier and more comfortable. This new high-power zoom lens is the latest
addition to the DX-NIKKOR lens lineup, offering photographers a convenient
single-lens solution to a broad range of photographic needs, ranging from
wide-angle landscapes and interiors to portraiture and medium-range sports.
Featuring a newly designed optical system with an ED glass element along
with an advanced aspherical lens element, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm
f/3.5-5.6G ED VR provides excellent image reproduction capability,
delivering high-resolution, high-contrast images while minimizing chromatic
aberration. The rounded diaphragm opening makes out-of-focus elements
appear more natural while Nikon?€™s Super Integrated Coating ensures
outstanding colour balance and reproduction while greatly reducing ghosting
and flare.
