Nikon 18-55mm Af-S DX F/3.5-5.6G VR Lens

This popular 3x zoom lens with high quality optics and Nikon&s exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for super-quiet operation, has a focal length equivalent to 27-82.5mm in 35mm format - making it a good standard lens to cover your basic shooting needs.

Differing from the Nikon 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 II AF-S DX, this lens features a Vibration Reduction (VR) stabilization system, enabling sharper pictures while shooting at shutter speeds up to three stops slower than would otherwise be possible. Its aspherical lens elements minimize spherical aberration, astigmatism, and other forms of distortion, while ensuring high resolution and contrast. 

This innovative VR system minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, and offers the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed three stops (eight times) faster. It allows handheld shooting at dusk, at night, and even in poorly lit interiors.

AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon&s SWM which converts &traveling waves& into rotational energy to focus the optics. This enables high-speed autofocusing that&s extremely accurate and super quiet.

Compact and lightweight DX NIKKOR lenses featuring a smaller image circle are specially designed and optimized for Nikon D2-series, D1-series, D100 and D70s/D70 digital SLR cameras. These are ideal options for landscape photographers and others who need to shoot expansive scenes with Nikon DX-Format digital SLRs.
