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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The quality of the product is at the level, I will recommend this product to my friends.

I exchanged Nikkor 28-200 AF-D for 18-105, due to the need for AF when shooting video, it is enough for me for video, but the lens is not very suitable for photography, especially in dark rooms, only flash saves. I use an external microphone paired with a Nikon d7000 + to record video, there is no motor noise in such a pair. Still, Nikon's AF-S lenses are very good. expensive, screwdriver 28-200 AF-D (and the quality of their pictures is at a different level) cost me 4500 BU, and 18-105 at 5500 (also BU) Although as the first glass is not bad at all. I changed my rating, the lens is VERY sharp at aperture values โ€‹โ€‹from 8, comparable to my Nikkor 60mm 2.8 macro lens

Pros
  • A good stub, relatively inexpensive. A small minimum AF distance (before it was 28-200 AF-D, after it it is extremely convenient) good colors
Cons
  • Detortion on small and large FR (you can treat FS, but my camera corrects it by itself (Nikon D7000)) Plastic mount (although with this weight of glass there is not much difference) AF motor makes noise when recording video Dark (saves the stub) Sharpness from about 6.3-7.1 Washes the background very poorly (not suitable for portraits)

Has pros: Perhaps it can be attributed to the lens, on which you can simply fill the experience with technology. Has cons: A cracked plastic mount often lathers, aperture leaves much to be desired, but what do you want for this price.
