Before that, I used the old version of Nikkor 18-55 as a whale. The difference is noticeable. The new Nikon 18-55 (for example, with the D60) is something in between. With its pros. Good whale. Bought to replace the old 18-55. The range of focal lengths is almost always enough. I think that another category of focal lengths starts from 80-90 mm. If something needs to be removed far away, I hook Sigma 70-300. Sharpness, saturation, contrast are good. I like the drawing very much. Internal focusing and manual focusing are convenient when the A mode is on on the lens. On the old whale, both switches had to be set to M. Different cons: Slightly annoying vignetting at the far end. But this is probably the most harmless thing that can strain the lens - in Lightroom it is solved by shifting one slider. You can blame the plastic mount. They say it loses contact with the carcass. But my old kit with plastic has been holding on for a long time and nothing.
