The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR is an ultra-compact, lightweight standard zoom lens designed specifically for DX-format Nikon DSLRs. Offering a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 27–82.5mm, it covers everyday shooting perspectives ranging from wide-angle landscapes and snapshots to short-telephoto portraits. Equipped with Nikon’s Vibration Reduction (VR) optical stabilization, it compensates for camera shake to enable handheld shooting at shutter speeds up to 3 stops slower.
