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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

I used a soap box with a 36-360 mm lens aperture, shot very decently for its size (Canon SX100IS), and thanks to its long focus, it helped me find many interesting angles. There was not enough whale on the SLR, I bought this one - even after soapy 36-360 its FR 27-158 (when converted to crop factor 1.5) is enough for most scenes! At first I looked at 55-200, but the difference between 360 and 158 is not as bright as you might think, but the versatility is on top! Here you have a shirik, here is a small TV set :)

Pros
  • There is nothing special to compare with, so I will compare it with the whale one from D40 without a stub. Quick. Convenient - internal focusing (nothing is spinning outside), a normal focusing ring that can be twisted even in Auto without switching anything (twist if autofocus is wrong). Imet the minimum size at the minimum focal length, and not like a regular whale in the middle. Not much larger than a normal whale. Built-in motor.
Cons
  • Chromatic aberrations are more pronounced and sometimes occur even in the middle of the frame (in contrast, of course), which I have not seen in an ordinary whale. The focus ring has some idle.
