andylynn Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 <p>Great lens for using in well lit situations. Lightweight, inexpensive, sharp (stop it down a notch or two).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis_g Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 <p> A decent lens. Build quality is scary (feels flimsy), but it gets the job done, specially stopped down to f/6.3 - 8. A real steal at the price.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuo_zhao Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 <p>It's one of the best kit/low cost lenses out there. Its distortion pattern is simple and predictable. The VR helps a lot. At f/8, there's not much difference between the 18-55's image quality and the image quality of a pro-grade zoom. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_drutz Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 <p>I find the range of the 18-55 to be too limited on the long end. It's a good inexpensive lens, but if you can afford the Nikon 18-105 VR or Sigma 18-125 OS you'll find yourself doing a lot less lens changing.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
