Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II Lens
The Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II is a remarkably compact and lightweight standard zoom designed as the perfect “everyday” lens for Nikon DX-format DSLRs. Covering a versatile 27-82.5mm equivalent focal range, this lens is engineered to handle everything from tight interior shots and expansive landscapes to flattering mid-range portraits. It remains a favorite for travel and daily photography due to its balanced performance and ease of use.

Versatile Optics and Quiet Performance
Optimized Optical Layout: Features one Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element and one aspherical element to effectively correct chromatic and spherical aberrations. This ensures your images retain high resolution, contrast, and color accuracy across the entire zoom range.

Super Integrated Coating: Nikon’s specialized lens coating enhances light transmission while significantly reducing ghosting and flare, even when shooting in tricky lighting.

Silent Wave Motor (SWM): Experience fast, precise, and nearly silent autofocus. This “Silent Wave” technology is particularly beneficial for video recording, ensuring your microphone doesn’t pick up distracting focus motor noise.

Natural Bokeh: A rounded 7-blade diaphragm helps create a more natural, pleasing look for out-of-focus elements, adding a professional touch to your portraits and close-ups.

Condition and Cosmetic Note
This lens is a fully functional “user” copy that shows visible signs of its history in the field.

Optical Status: There is some light internal dust present. This is common in zoom lenses of this age and does not appear in images or affect overall photo quality.

Cosmetic Wear: A portion of the silver trim ring is missing from the front of the lens barrel. Additionally, the plastic trim with the lens lettering around the front element is peeling up.

Mechanical Integrity: Despite these cosmetic imperfections, the lens remains mechanically sound, with the zoom and autofocus systems operating as intended.
