Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II Lens
Compact Standard Zoom Lens for Nikon DX DSLRs – 27-82.5mm Equivalent Focal Length Range, Silent Wave Motor (SWM) Autofocus, 1 ED Glass & 1 Aspherical Element, Super Integrated Coating (SIC), Rounded 7-Blade Diaphragm

The Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II is an ultra-compact, lightweight standard zoom lens engineered for DX-format Nikon digital SLR cameras, delivering a versatile 27-82.5mm full-frame equivalent focal length range. Designed as an accessible, everyday walk-around and travel lens, its 3.1x optical zoom span covers wide-angle landscapes, tight indoor interiors, casual snapshots, and short-telephoto portraiture in a single portable package.

The optical formula incorporates 7 elements in 5 groups, featuring one Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element and one hybrid aspherical element to effectively correct chromatic aberrations, spherical distortion, and astigmatism for crisp, high-contrast imagery. Nikon’s proprietary Super Integrated Coating (SIC) is applied to optical elements to optimize light transmission, suppress internal reflections, and minimize flare and ghosting across various lighting conditions. Autofocus is driven by Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM), providing fast, precise, and quiet focusing performance suited for stills and video capture, while a rounded 7-blade diaphragm produces smooth, natural-looking background blur.
