Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18?55mm f/3.5?5.6G VR II Lens Review

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II Verdict

As far as kit lenses go, this is one of the better ones. It is more than capable of delivering sharp images, and the compact, lightweight design will make it a perfect travel companion.

There probably isn't enough difference in this lens to tempt existing Nikon 18-55mm lens owners to upgrade, however, that doesn’t mean it is a bad lens at all. Those who do acquire it as part of a kit should be more than happy with its performance.
