Good product, not disappointed.

I bought it along with the camera, in my opinion it’s not a bad lens for everyday shooting, it helps out if you can’ page=0 page=4 page=4 page=2

Pros
  • High-quality embly, convenient focal lengths, lens hood and case included
Cons
  • Like all zooms dust into the camera, plastic mount

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

I compared it with a Nikon 50 In terms of sharpness, For example: I shot a test picture indoors with a 50mm f1,8 fix and this "whale" with a focal length of 50 the shutter speed on the machine turned out to be 1/60 sec, and on the whale 1/15 the whale gave a clear picture thanks to the stub, In general, without problems, you can remove static and for 1/4 sec, you can also take a portrait, the bokeh is not as pronounced as on a half-glass, Distortion is within the normal range and does not…

Pros
  • For trips, you can shoot macro.
Cons
  • I see only one - this is a plastic bayonet mount, which, although it holds up well, metal is metal!

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

When working with the lens, I never noticed any 'glitches' off" from the camera, the lens is quite quiet, On vacation, we simply cannot replace it, it can be used for almost any task, A more advanced alternative to this Nikon 18-105mm is the Nikon 18-200mm f / 3.5-5.6G DX AF-S Nikkor IF-ED VR with 11x zoom, f/4.5-5.6 nikuv72/view/967831/? page=1 And here is a photo taken in low light: page=1

Pros
  • With cropped cameras, it will have an EGF equal to 27-157,5 The stabilizer works for another 2 if suddenly you decide to take another shot after the first one, then the stabilizer will not have to turn on again.
Cons
  • Since there are a large number of lenses in the lens, it works like a vacuum cleaner, just hold the lens in your hands and turn the zoom ring - the rear lens will move back and forth substantially, sucking in and pushing air out.

In general, IMHO) for example, 18-55 at 18-55, the feeling that the glasses themselves are better, The colors are deeper and have more editing potential, reality, liveliness, Therefore, my rating is 4 then 5.

Pros
  • Pretty sharp (for a price of 9 pieces) dignity, but nice) In the dark, it' it noticeably does 18-55 At 18 and at 105 focal lengths, it really is", a little tint and beauty.
Cons
  • at least it doesn’ but for me it’ After the whale 18-55, the differences are not big, deep. " I think this is the main and, in fact, the only drawback, you can close your eyes to the rest (I will explain in the comments) Oh, yes, I didn’ at 18-55, the stub simply bites into space.

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

I switched to this lens from a whale 18-55mm and a 55-200mm zoom, the lens seemed incredibly convenient, but still I lacked a longer focus and on this occasion I bought an 18-200mm on ebay, which has a similar picture, but a more universal focal length, then this lens will be an almost ideal option, if you still have money, then I advise you to buy an 18-200 after which I threw 18-200mm onto the shelf, f/3.5-5.6G here:

Pros
  • Looks solid on budget carcasses.
Cons
  • There are only two drawbacks, but used it for about two months and did not notice the accumulation of dust on the glass.

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

I want to warn everyone right away, if you are thinking of buying a universal lens from landscape to portrait, then unfortunately, I can state that at 18-35 mm when shooting landscapes, the lens is very soapy, no matter how you play with it, so as a landscape photographer and for shooting architecture at a wide angle, it is bad, but as a portrait lens it’s gorgeous for its money) Ru/users/kalinin-exe/album/426516

Pros
  • Good portrait
Cons
  • bad landscape painter

The lens went like a whale to the Nikon D3200 megapixels, and knowing this, I can say that the lens is very good, comfortable, and a great one for a beginner

Pros
  • 1) Convenient focal lengths - you can shoot the expanses of our nature, and it’s good to zoom in on the main subject 2) Good design - everything is well assembled, nothing creaks or dangles, the rings go softly, the trunk does not climb out) 3) Stabilizer - you can take clear photos at fairly slow shutter speeds - if you do not suffer from excessive shaking, of course) 4) Good equipment - case and lens hood included 5) Relatively small size, especially in comparison with the analogue from Canon 6) See for yourself at 100% magnification, for this I advise you to use a high-quality photo viewer, Ru/users/slnbad/view/788180/? page=0 7) Just ease of use - the lens is convenient and pleasant to use, there is a convenient ring for focusing, there is no risk of pulling out the tube by the roots like at 18-55, for example :) 8) Unlike 18-55, you can get at least some picture page=0
Cons
  • Well, where without them ( 1) Autofocus is not always fast and accurate 2) The lens is dark, however, it’s stupid to demand more from the whale, the same 18-55 is darker, and noticeably 3) The mount is plastic, which is not a disadvantage if used carefully

The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

Got pros: Small, light, moderately sharp, the presence of a stabilizer, low price. Convenient focal lengths. Assembly Thailand. Some cons: Soaps on an open aperture, chromate, noticeable vignetting. Distortion by 18 mm - barrel, by 105 mm - pillow. Autofocus misses, especially in low light.

A normal product, however, does not fully match the description.

Despite the fact that I listed a great number of benefits (all of which are warranted), this lens has issues with both ha and focus misses (rarely). But the worst thing is soap; if you find yourself in possession of a 50mm 1.8, 1.4, or any other type of fast fix in general, and you are considering purchasing a staffer "for every day," it is best to pass by. Have a look at tamrons and sigmas with fast apertures; these are the lenses where you may pick the greatest quality for practically the…

Pros
  • -Nikon's "Whales" line includes one of the greatest models. - Variations in the focal length (18-105mm) -The quality surpasses that of 18-55. - The inclusion of a stabilizing agent - Low in both weight and volume (compared to analogues) The price is reasonable, but occasionally for as little as one penny you can locate a loophole in the system. - Capable of focusing at a rapid pace - Reasonably silent motor This lens, with its AF-S designation, is a godsend for screwdriver-free bodies. The ability to show off is probably the greatest benefit of this lens; by twisting the lens hood, you can play the role of a "uncle of a cool photographer."
Cons
  • Soap, additional soap, and still more soap.

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

If you are just beginning to understand the world of digital SLR cameras and you buy this device as part of a bundle with a camera, for example at a low price (I came with the D90), then bring it to work with you. After shooting with it for almost a year and a half, the sole reason I decided to part ways with the lens was because I felt like I had outgrown it. You can take pictures "from the hip" with just one hand, and you can play with the zoom without having to change your position by moving

Pros
  • Cheap in CHINA, Accurate Autofocus with Stabilizer, Wide Range of Focal Lengths
Cons
  • you start to take notice as you gain more experience and practice working with different lenses, but for those who have only acquired, I would not write this.

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

After putting my hands on the Nikon D3100 camera and making the purchase, I can say that I am happy with the acquisition. There is a hood included with this purchase. Excellent value for the money, and the pictures are nice (if you want to see them, go to my page:). The transaction was completed to my complete satisfaction. To become an expert photographer, I recommend that you buy beginner cameras like mine. Got pros: With universal zoom, you may take photos either in a confined space or out…

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

The lens is well suited for a user who does not place high demands on the combination of attributes it possesses. Both the reasonable cost and the high level of optical performance have contributed to the lens's rising popularity. The benefits of it include: A regular design, an exceptional range of focal lengths, and a weight and dimension that are both quite small. For such a budget-friendly zoom, it has really good sharpness over the entire range as well as color reproduction. There is only…

The right product for me, there were no problems.

A lens of good quality. It was not for nothing that he went as a whale to the D90 carcass, and now he is being delivered as a whale to the D7000. Both of these experiences have prepared him for this moment. If you currently have a kit with an 18-55mm lens and are considering purchasing a lens with a range of 55-200mm or 70-300mm, you shouldn't. This is going to turn out badly. It would be in your best interest to sell your whale and bring in some more money. The Nikkor 18-105mm is the perfect…

Pros
  • Quality. Nice photo. Usefulness (useful) (useful). User friendliness.
Cons
  • And yet we use the term "vacuum cleaner." Price in red, 8-9

Examine the grounds on which they base their criticism. The fact that the photographer does not understand how to make proper use of the lens is usually the root cause of the photographer's discontent with the lens. 1. The removal of pillow barrels during processing can be accomplished with a single click. Shot using NEF, copy and paste the lens profile into Camera RAW, and then select "Lens correction" from the menu. 2. The soap was dispensed in an unpredictable manner. It appears like the…

Pros
  • Compatible with the vast majority of shooting conditions that may be found in the city.
Cons
  • The plastic mount is an immoral form of oppression.

Different pros: Convenient focal lengths, inexpensive filters, lens hood included, made generally soundly. Shooting outdoors during the day is very good. The distortions are pretty subtle. Got cons: When the lens hood is in the stowed position, it is not very convenient to turn the zoom ring. Dark ((((. In the evening, shooting indoors with dim lighting does not work.

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

For those of you too slow to read, let me just say that it's cooler than the regular kit 18-55, and if you can afford it, you shouldn't regret it because you'll be on a different level both technically and aesthetically as a result. All there is to it is that. For those who don't want to mess about with the 18-55mm lens, there is this lens. For consumers who don't comprehend and are presented with the option of a 1 by 1 lens for the first time, sellers can powder their brains because 18-55 is…

Pros
  • It has a good amount of crispness and is likely neither better nor worse than analogs. Its behavior in the corners is occasionally better than the 18-55's, which is a case for choosing it as the primary lens rather than the more common 18-55. The thread on the filters is somewhat wider than necessary; you can wound it anyway you like (for 18mm, a simple protective UV and polarizer does not create vignetting - the frame is wide). A typical plastic petal hood with its own (unthreaded) mount and a purse are both included. You can freely rotate the ring when the autofocus is on. A little sky appeared when I photographed a clearing practically vertically from my feet to the horizon; the 105mm lens also obviously zooms in and blurs, so you should only use it for lengthy trips. 18mm is wide enough for a beginner to not consider more breadth. Who cares? It seems strong and convincing. It is pleasant to the touch and operates gently, producing essentially no more noise than the motor's main component, which had to be audible from the street outside. For instance, taking close-up shots of springtime flowers and buds at 105 millimeters and f5.6 produces an extremely odd background blur. Moreover, in one shot, it appears as though a blurry area wraps around sharp edges as if through a watery eye. Although it is not explicitly stated, this is unusual in the field of optics. I'll let you in on one more little secret: go out to the embankment at night and take a photo of the ever-present Kremlin at f22 aperture from a tripod or place your briefcase on a stone (you'll smear it with your hands anyway). All the lights will transform into stars with rays; those who have a smaller limit of f16 stars will have obvious and, most importantly, natural stars. A 105mm lens can generally be used with an aperture as large as f36.
Cons
  • It is appropriate to think about the expense first and foremost. drastically different from the years 18 to 55. In my opinion, the pricing shouldn't be the standard $12,000, but rather should be in the range of 8,000 and 10,000. F5 is currently set to 50 mm. The prefix "ED" is nothing more than marketing jargon; do not pay attention to the fact that the color is, in theory, the same as that of the younger brothers of digital compacts. For example, I used the Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF AF lens, which excels in color reproduction even when it does not have the ED prefix, but it did not turn out to be a very strong performer in terms of sharpness. As far as I can tell, they installed a low-dispersion ED glass piece in this specific case just for the inscription. It is impossible to describe this lens as cool because of the amount of distortion present in the corners. The stabilizer does its function, however when I initially switched it on, I was unable to distinguish between ON and OFF. 18-55 is not one of the better stubs I've seen. If at all possible, turn it off and only turn it back on when absolutely necessary. This is another reason to lower sharpness in sunny weather. When it is cloudy outside is one situation where this might apply. Professional professionals rarely wear lenses with stubs, and when they do, they rarely give the stub's placement on the lens' body any thought.

All is well, liked the product, didn't buy it for nothing.

Getting acclimated to the lens and being familiar with what can and cannot be accomplished with it takes some time. I was dissatisfied after taking the first few landscape shots since, when compared pixel for pixel, the quality turned out to be worse to that of my previous Samsung NX11: the frames were less sharp both at the wide end and at the telephoto end. Yet, it was sufficient to decrease the photographs to the size of the NX11 frame in order to guarantee that the 18-105 was at least as…

Pros
  • 1. A crisp image when shot at a distance. 2. Excellent stability even when shooting at wide angles. 3. A focusing speed that is both quick and quiet 4. Accurate autofocus when shooting at telephoto. 5. Reasonably inexpensive pricing.
Cons
  • 1. Less sharp when viewed from a wide angle. 2. The stabilizer will work on multi-pixel matrices, but it will leave a very slight blur or doubling at shutter speeds that are faster than 1/250 when it is in the teleposition. 3. If you look very closely, you'll see that the corners of the frame are notably less sharp than the ones in the middle. 4. When attempting to focus on the horizon with a wide-angle lens, the autofocus feature will occasionally give preference to objects that are closer, and there is no way to quickly set the focus to infinity manually.

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

For those just starting out, this is the thing to do. Even if you only use your DSLR for taking pictures of yourself, there are occasions when you simply cannot think of a better way to capture the moment. What possible drawbacks there might be for newcomers is completely beyond my comprehension. Plastic mount, are you experiencing any issues with anything coming loose? You'll have to excuse me, but even when I'm in the mountains, I don't lean on my lenses like some people do, and I'm very…

Pros
  • Well located focal point, very well put together. Stab. Very adaptable in every conceivable manner.
Cons
  • Dark (but this is not a negative) (although this is not a drawback). It will suddenly begin to lather for no apparent reason at times.

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

While I was reading the evaluations on some lens, an uncontrollable thought occurred to me: How is it possible that some citizens are really ecstatic, while others criticize? It is apparent that people are different, and tastes are diverse, but not that much. And so it was that I came across. During the course of the week, I accidentally felt two 18-105s. Both are used, but there are no claims made on either one; both are from the D90 whale; both are from Thailand; both have factory settings…

Pros
  • -good image quality and superb sharpness throughout the whole range of focal lengths (see comment); -a range of focal lengths that is good and meets the majority of users' needs - the quality of the craftsmanship is quite high, in spite of the plastic mount - I was impressed by the zoom mechanism - everything operates without jerks or backlash - - rapid and confident focusing, good performance from the stabilizer - the ability to bring the focus manually when auto focus is erroneous; it makes mistakes infrequently, but try shooting a black cat in a dark room:) - Not only does the lens's substantial size contribute to the camera's robustness, but it also makes operating the device more convenient.
Cons
  • It would appear that lenses of varying qualities are available, which is the likely cause of the abundance of polar evaluations.

I like everything, the quality is good and the price is reasonable.

No matter what, you can’t come up with a better KIT. You can take it on vacation with you. Definitely better than 18-55. The price/quality ratio is almost perfect. Different pros: Soundly made. Nothing backlash. Distortions are small and it pleases. Good stub and fast AF. Low price. Blend included. Got cons: The title of universal is clearly not drawn. A little dark is true, but for 18-105 it is not fatal. Not enough sharpness. Lacks angle when shooting close-ups and landscapes. Absolutely not…
