Review on New Nikon 18-105mm Vibration Reduction πŸ“· Zoom Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLRs by Jagvir Singh ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

I bought it for work together with the D5000, it turned out that even a couple. I immediately protected it with an ultraviolet filter, now it remains to buy a polarizing one. For hiking in the mountains the best option. In a word, I recommend! On February 22, I went to Beshtau, the weather was terrible: wind, -10-15C, snow, a camera with a lens all the time in my hands, but they survived and focusing and VR worked perfectly. Having slipped the support several times, I found it with the lens, I thought it was the end, but it survived ! Amazing reliability with such a barbaric attitude! (I set myself the task of checking the performance of the system - I checked it for 100%)

Pros
  • Fast autofocus, excellent ergonomics, powerful vibration compensator. Good value for money. Versatility with small size and weight. I got Thai. Comes with lens hood and semi-hard case. The front lens does not rotate - makes it possible to install gradient and other filters that do not allow rotation thereof. Convenient zoom ring - rubberized, tight, wide. The hood gives vignetting only at 18mm. Under its own weight, it does not fold and does not leave. Good close protection.
Cons
  • The plastic mount is not as scary as it is painted. It is extremely weak for indoors, but for these purposes you need to buy a flash or . another lens. Gives a large shadow when using the built-in flash. Blocks the half of the frame when autofocus is illuminated with the standard camera illumination. Chromatic aberrations, back focus after impact due to a loose bolt on a poor quality tripod with poor quality hands. Pincushion distortion.
