Nikon AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G user reviews


Review by: paulfitz76 on Jul 14th, 2008
Experience of this type of product: Good, Time product owned: More than a year, Price paid: 100
Lens is sharp, but build quality and reliability poor. AF-S stopped after one year. Compared to 24mm and 35mm f/2.8 AI primes, it was very close, maybe a little more contrasty.

This was the kit lens for Nikon D50 camera. It is a good cheap lens but built quality is pretty bad. Anyway, for 100$ new, you won't find anything better.

After f/8 picture are really sharp.
Chromatic aberrations are high and it's a problem for me.
After one year and 5000 pictures I have some problems with the AF.

I'll get a Tamron 17-50 or sigma 18-50 quite soon.
