Review on New Nikon 18-105mm Vibration Reduction ๐Ÿ“ท Zoom Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLRs by Rimba

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I purchased it as the main one for the D5000 bodysuit and at first it simply suited me as a given. it was possible to really appreciate its merits only after buying a 35 / 1,8 fix, which, compared to 18-105, turned out to be not a lens, but some kind of accessory (which was very upsetting, since it has a nominal maximum aperture of 1,8, itโ€™s really possible to shoot only possible with 2.5). screwed on the protective UV filter, attached the cover with a fishing line (it takes about 15 minutes without any holes and damage: carefully, one by one, slightly pull back 2 thin "clamps" at the back and remove one of the spring keys of the cover, put a small loop on the pin inside the groove from the key and we put it in place. on the second ring we make a loop on the throat of the lens so that it does not get off it, but it is not tightened either, otherwise you wonโ€™t put it on when changing lenses. thatโ€™s it, it wonโ€™t be lost.). I RECOMMEND! for enthusiastic lovers, the lens is wonderful! Z. Y. instead of a fishing line, it turned out to be more optimal to adapt a thin elastic band.

Pros
  • really great lens. quite sharp, predictable and adequate distortion, without distortion. AF is accurate. I canโ€™t say for HA, since the D5000 carcass neutralizes them anyway and I have never seen them on it yet. the stub is normal, at the long end it clearly holds a hangover tremor :), and it really works for a couple of stops. On vacation, I didnโ€™t even have to drag a tripod. very convenient FR, from the width (and very effective - huge objects fit already from 30 meters) and to the telephoto (also sufficient for most cases). the price of 10tyr is LOW for such a lens!
Cons
  • the luminosity is clearly too small. in apartment conditions and at dusk, it is necessary to lift up more than 1000 ISO (the benefit of the camera allows you to do this). there is no lace cover (solvable, see below). heavy for the neck and the camera with him strongly nods.
