  • Flexible Zoom

    Perfect match for a D3300 Nikon. The lens that originally came with our camera had limitations which this lens covers nicely. This 55 to 200 mm zoom has manual and autofocus and is designed to function perfectly with all the body's program features. What a great addendum to the camera. The macro and wide angle extras which came with it were a super added value and much appreciated.

  • Great little lens

    One of Nikons best kit lens ever. Tack sharp across zoom range. Instantaneous that is auto focus with a completely silent focus. Would have liked to seen switches on lens body for Auto/Manual focus and ability to turn off VR without going into camera settings. Lens only works with a few newer Nikon DSLR;S so be sure to check if yours is compatible.

  • Good lens for the money

    This is a great all around lens for everyday shooting. With the exception of longer distance subjects, it gets the job done. The quality is good for a zoom lens and it feels solid. I like the locking mechanism on it to prevent damage to the zoom operation. When I want top quality portrait and close-ups, I use my 50mm prime lens, but this can do the job if I'm in a hurry. Great value for the $.

  • Excellent lens, the best Nikon lens and bang for the buck period, not made for hard Pro use but durable enough.

    Typical wide end corner fall off and distortion but few people will notice and the lens makes up for it with excellent optics, VR and Quick autofocus. Super light a plus , works perfectly on all of my Nikon bodies. A wise choice for a first lens, Im a retired Pro shooter and this is my second best Kit Zoom ever only bettered by the Fuji XF for Mirrorless thats 4 times the price. Care must be exercised Mounting and removing the lens as the mount is poly Carbonate plastic and not durable like metal. Please don't pick up the camera by the lens. A wonderful creative tool with Pro quality optics.

  • You might never know it's a kit lens.

    Using this on a Nikon D3300. Pros: for a lens this price it's surprisingly sharp. Chromatic aberration is not an issue, it's well within acceptable levels. Lightweight and compact, you can use it all day long. The VR-2 system works great. You can focus down to less than a foot! Cons: The auto focus often has a tough time, sometimes taking several attempts to gain focus. Sometimes, in fact, it never gets focus at all and you must go to manual focus. Don't use this lens on continuous focus for moving objects. The zoom ring isn't the smoothest, feeling a bit raspy through the range. The focusing ring is nice and smooth, but it's all the way out near the tip of the lens which makes it awkward to use if you have a rotating polarizing filter - it's easy to mistake one for the other. The lens is rather prone to flare below 24mm. A lens hood helps a lot with that, you have to be careful if you're all the way at 18mm as it can bring the edge of the hood into the shot. F/3.5 - 5.6 is not gonna give you a really creamy background or great bokeh if you're into that. Verdict: If you see one for under a hundred dollars and you need a zoom lens with this kind of range, grab it. For that kind of money you probably won't find better. A lot of people get this as a bundled kit lens and assume it's junk, so they sell it off quickly and cheaply. Their loss will be your gain. It produces excellent pictures. If you're looking to do landscape photography this range is tailor made for it. Yeah, it's got some downsides - especially the auto focus quirk - but they're easy enough to deal with. And once you do, you'll be rewarded with a light comfortable lens you can use for a variety of situations, and one that produces surprising sharp results.

  • Looks good, unsure of life expectancy

    My first lens for this camera lasted years. I purchased one a while ago that made an odd noise, but worked fine for a short period and then stopped. So I purchased this one. Looks good, takes good pictures, but makes the same noise the last one did so not sure how long it will last. Do have a guarantee on this just in case. just don't understand if it is new, why the noise? So I can't say how durable it is.

  • Great All-Around Lens

    I am amazed at the sharpness of this lens. The bokeh is nice and the image stabilization helps in lower light situations. Close focus is also good. I have been using this lens for non-stop since I bought it and it has performed great. Portraits landscapes, group photos, you'll love it.

  • The "AF-P-quality 18-55mm DX lens for older Nikon cameras"!

    Wanted to get a replacement 18-55mm for my D7000. I love the AF-P version for my D7200, but it won't work on a D7000. This AF-S VRII is so close to as good that I really see little difference. Bit slower auto focus, bit more audible, but very, very good! Love it!

  • A rock-solid kit Nikon kit wide-angle zoom lens

    A slightly older version of the Nikon 18-55mm kit lens, but if my last one is any indication, it will have YEARS of reliable images. This is the first generation VR version of this lens and has a lens lock button to keep the lens compact when not in use.
