The Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR is the quintessential standard zoom for DX-format DSLRs. Designed for extreme portability and everyday versatility, it offers a 3.1x zoom range (27-82.5mm equivalent) that covers everything from wide-angle landscapes and tight interiors to natural-looking portraits. Featuring Nikon’s original Vibration Reduction (VR) technology, this lens is engineered to help you capture sharper handheld images in a variety of lighting conditions.
Condition Note: This lens contains some internal dust and light fungus on a middle glass layer. While the lens remains mechanically and electronically functional, these optical imperfections may cause a slight reduction in contrast or localized softening of the image in certain lighting. This unit is ideal for student use, backup gear, or those comfortable with minor optical flaws.
Compact Versatility & Stability
Vibration Reduction (VR) Image Stabilization: The innovative VR system compensates for up to three stops of camera shake. This allows for significantly sharper handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds, which is essential for capturing clear images in poorly lit environments.
Essential Focal Range: From standard snapshots to portraiture, this lens provides the most practical zoom range for daily use. It is specifically balanced for the compact chassis of Nikon’s DX-series cameras, making it a perfect travel companion.
G-Type Design: Featuring a modern design with no external aperture ring, this lens offers streamlined, mistake-free operation by allowing the camera body to handle all exposure settings.
Precision Performance
Silent Wave Motor (SWM): Equipped with an SWM for fast, smooth, and near-silent autofocus. This quiet operation is a major advantage when recording video, as it prevents mechanical focus noise from being picked up by the camera’s microphone.
Nikon Super Integrated Coating: Individual lens elements are treated with a specialized coating to improve light transmission and minimize ghosting and flare, helping to maintain vivid colors even in challenging light.
Close-Focusing Capability: With a minimum focus distance of just 11 inches from the focal plane, you can get close to your subjects to capture fine details and textures.
Key Features
Rounded 7-Blade Diaphragm: Produces a soft, natural blur in the out-of-focus areas of your image, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your compositions.
FX-Format Compatibility: While optimized for DX sensors, this lens can be used on FX-format cameras in DX Crop Mode for added flexibility.
52mm Filter Diameter: Uses a standard, widely available filter size for easy addition of polarizers or protective glass.
