Nikon 18-70mm

Great lens, I am a novice user and am enjoy learning with this product. It seems no matter how much i mess up learning to use a Nikon D200, the lens never fails, it is tough sturdy lens.

Product good, Delivery toooooooo slow

 

Product good, Delivery toooooooo slow

Love the lens. Great product. Hate the length of time the seller took to FINALLY send the lens. Seller had no phone number so I could not contact them. Thought I was being taken as a fool due to the length of time between the sale and the delivery....

Better Quality than your everyday Kit Lens

 

Better Quality than your everyday Kit Lens

This is a 27mm-105mm equivalent in a 35mm film camera, and I was very surprised by the build quality and materials used. Even more impressive is the photographic quality that is achievable by this lens. It focuses quickly and accurately. It is sharp,...

good image quality but is a dust vacuum

 

good image quality but is a dust vacuum

I am a camera technician by trade. This lens offers good optical quality and zoom range for a digital SLR but I would never buy one because it sucks dust into it every time you zoom! Practically every one of these lenses I see have lots of dust...

Surprisingly Sharp Kit Lens

 

Surprisingly Sharp Kit Lens

I considered other Nikkor lenses reputed to be much sharper at twice the price, decided I didn't use wide angles often enough to warrant them, and got this lens instead. The resolution is quite good--detailed, crisp prints to 16x20 are possible if...

Happy with this Lens

 

Happy with this Lens

I'm glad to see all the positive reviews for this lens. I got it by default with my D200 and immediately tried to replace it for the 18-200 which everyone raves about. Its been six months now and the urge to upgrade has gone for the most part. I've...

Better than you'd expect from a "kit" lens.

 

Better than you'd expect from a "kit" lens.

I must say, this lens rocks. It's very contrasty and color redention is great. And very sharp, too. Many zoom lenses don't perform well at their longest focal length, especially at the widest aperture. But even at 70mm and f/4.5, it can still hang with...

Good value kit lens

 

Good value kit lens

Pros: Fast and quiet focus, good focal range and sharp at mid-telephoto range. Cons: Heavy, loose barrel and wide angle not sharp enough. Conclusion: This is a good walk-around lens and great value for money.
