Customer Reviews

Great all-round lens. Unbeatable image quality for the price
This is a light & silent lens, with surprising image quality.

For this price, it's very hard to beat. I've also used the 18-70mm Kit lens, which has better construction, a longer focal range and is also a little heavier. They're difference in optical quality is noticeable, but not dramatically.

If you're on a tight budget, you won't go wrong with this lens.

please with lens
very pleased with camera lens, very lightweight, easy for everyday use use and does not add much to total camera weight, downside is that it is mostly plastic and not as sturdy. Pleased with product, arrived timely

Nice and Small But Limited Focal Length
I got this lens with my D50 about a year and a half ago. It is a nice, small lens with pretty good IQ. Decently sharp, not a lot of distortion, good color and contrast.

I ended up replacing this lens with teh 18-135mm about 6 months later do to the focal length being a bit limiting on the 18-55mm and the 18-135mm being more useful in combination with the 70-300mm VR. I still have this lens, though, and occasionally use it when I want a small, light lens and know I won't need a lot of zoom.
