Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR AF-S DX Nikkor Lens (White Box) USA
The Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR AF-S DX Lens is an ultra compact, lightweight standard zoom lens that has a 3x focal zoom range and is ideally suited for use with compact Nikon digital SLR cameras that feature the smaller DX sized chip. This lens offers the most basic zoom range in the DX lens series, an equivalent focal length in 35mm terms of 27-82.5mm. It will conveniently cover everything from tight indoor portraits to standard snap shots.
The innovative Vibration Reduction (VR) system allows handheld telephoto zoom shooting even in poorly lit conditions. It minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, and offers the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed 3 stops (8 times) faster. The Nikon Super Integrated Coating used in this lens minimizes ghosting and flare to provide even higher contrast and more vivid images, even in challenging light conditions.
This G-type Nikkor lens is designed with no aperture rings, and offers easier, virtually mistake-free operation because the aperture does not need to be set to minimum.
Note: AF-S feature is not supported by certain camera models. Please click here for a list of compatible models.
Note: DX lenses are not recommended for use with "full-frame" digital or 35mm film SLR cameras
Note! White Box merchandise comes supplied in a plain white box, instead of the manufacturer's colorful packaging. It still includes all the manufacturer's accessories.

Comments about Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR AF-S DX Nikkor Lens (White Box):
Recent back trouble made carrying the weight of my 18-200 VR lens nearly impossible, so I decided to sacrifice zoom range for light weight when possible. The 18-55 VR lens covers approximately the Cartier-Bresson range of focal lengths, 27 to 82 mm in 35mm format equivalent, so it's wonderful for street photos, candids, and wide views of landscapes. It's also much better than expected at close-ups short of macro range.
I was pleased with the overall sharpness, focusing accuracy and speed, and generally fine image quality. The build quality is clearly not the equal of Nikon's best -- but neither is the price nor the weight.
A very useful addition to my kit.
Pros

This lens is great for the money I can not imaging rating a lens after you drop it. It is a cheap plastic mount lens but it has real VR and sharp glass otherwise you will have to pay more than $1000.00 for a pro lens.great value.
