Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II Lens
The Nikon AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II is a compact, lightweight standard zoom lens designed specifically for Nikon’s DX-format DSLRs. Offering a 3.1x zoom range, this lens serves as the perfect “everything” optic for everyday photography and travel. With a 35mm equivalent focal length of 27–82.5mm, it effortlessly covers wide-angle landscapes, tight interiors, standard snapshots, and flattering portraits.

Reliable Optical Performance
Sharp and Accurate Imaging: The optical design features one Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element and one aspherical element. These work in tandem to correct chromatic and spherical aberrations, ensuring high-resolution, high-contrast images with minimal distortion.

Super Integrated Coating (SIC): Nikon’s proprietary coating enhances light transmission while significantly reducing ghosting and flare, maintaining color accuracy even in bright or backlit conditions.

Rounded 7-Blade Diaphragm: This design produces a more circular aperture, allowing out-of-focus background elements (bokeh) to appear soft, smooth, and natural.

Fast and Quiet Autofocus
Silent Wave Motor (SWM): The integrated SWM provides fast, precise, and near-silent autofocus. This quiet operation is particularly essential when recording video, as it prevents the camera’s microphone from picking up distracting drive noises.

Travel-Ready Design: Engineered for portability, the ED II version of this classic lens is optimized to be as light as possible, making it an ideal companion for all-day shooting without adding bulk to your camera bag.
