Nikkor 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX

	image de taille APS-C Les objectifs générant des images au format APS-C sont conçus uniquement pour les appareils numériques. Ils ne peuvent pas être utilisés sur des appareils aux capteurs plus grands que le format APS-C. Ces objectifs ne sont pas non plus adaptés aux appareils argentiques. AF à ultrason Les objectifs équipés d'un mécanisme de mise au point à ultrason tendent à être plus silencieux et plus rapides que les objectifs à mise au point traditionnelle. Une ou plusieurs lentilles LD sont utilisées Les lentilles LD (faible dispersion) permettent de réduire les aberrations chromatiques. Non stabilisé La stabilisation d'image permet de réduire le flou causé par le tremblement de la main, particulièrement lorsque la distance focale est importante ou que la luminosité est faible. Suivant la règle de réciprocité, la stabilisation d'image peut améliorer le stop d'un facteur 1 à 3 comparativement à un objectif non stabilisé. Pas de mise au point interne Le barillet des objectifs à mise au point interne ne change pas de longueur durant la mise au point. La lentille frontale peut tourner La lentille frontale fixe ne tourne pas lorsque l'on zoome et/ou que l'on réalise la mise au point. Ceci permet au photographe d'utiliser des pare-soleil en forme de pétales. Les lentilles frontales fixes rendent également beaucoup plus simple l'utilisation de filtres polarisants.

Inexpensive Moderate Wide Angle Zoom for Nikon DX Digital SLR Cameras

21 August 2005

The current issue of Popular Photography has a glowing review of this lens and its sibling, the 55mm-200mm zoom lens, for Nikon DX Digital SLR cameras. I'm amazed that Nikon has opted to produced a high quality moderate wide angle zoom lens for digital SLRs at a relatively low price. But don't be fooled that this relatively inexpensive lens isn't capable of producing excellent results, which the fine Popular Photography review certainly attests (At nearly every focal length there is excellent contrast and resolution, with minimal barrel distortion, except at 18mm, since there the barrel distortion is a bit noticeable: this would only have an adverse impact in photographing buildings, but again, the impact is just hardly noticeable.). Nikon has opted to use most of its optical innovations, including the new improved Super Nikon Intergrated Coating (Nikon's latest multicoating) to help greatly minimize flare and thus produce images which have excellent contrast and resolution. For many owners of Nikon's inexpensive line of DX Digital SLRs, such as the new Nikon D70s, this lens and its 55mm-200mm zoom sibling, may be all the optical firepower they'll need for photography, with the chance of expanding sometime later into Nikon's impressive line of superb optics for 35mm film and digital photography.

A great lens at an amazingly cheap price

29 July 2006

The Nikon 18-55 is one of those rare pieces of glass that surprises across the board -- I find that it is far superior to the more expensive Nikon 18-70 kit lens now packaged with most new Nikon dSLR's. The 18-55 is not only a third of the price, but it is crisper and clearer at 18, and super sharp from 35 - 55. There is next to no barrel distortion at 18, certainly far less that the 18-70. And there is nothing better than a 6 ounce lens for carrying to parties, events, and dinners, rather than those pound+ lenses. I highly recommend this lens.

Good lens, minimal distortion

5 April 2006

I bought this lens for my D70s because of its light weight - almost half the weight of the Nikon 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED IF AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens - and because it has less barrel distortion at 18 mm than the 18-70. True, the build quality is not as good, but I'm careful so that wasn't too much a concern to me. After 15 months of extensive use, my lens is still working fine.

Reportedly, sharpness is best (and is excellent) across the frame at f/8 at 18mm, f/8-11 at 35mm, and f/11 at 55mm.

After 15 months of use, my two favorite features in this lens are still its light weight, and minimal distortion compared to other zoom lenses. For example the Nikon 18-200 VR, which I own also, has very noticeable pincushion distortion at 50mm. In contrast, this little 18-55 doesn't have any perceptible distortion at focal lengths higher than 35 mm.

Value for the entry-level amateur

30 March 2006

I bought this lens for just over $100.00 on eBay. I expected it to perform as well as it does. For the price, the lens is better than the 28-80mm by far. The images are clear (in good lighting conditions) and the sharpness is adequate. I have taken several thousand pictures with the lens, and I am satisfied with its performance. The macro photo possibilities are generally acceptable. It is a good beginning lens because you really get what you pay for. The lens does not perform well in low-light conditions, however, due to its aperture limitations. It does not feel too light, although the plastic mount is a liability if you remove lenses often. All in all, it is a worthwhile purchase for anyone excited about jumping into photography. This is a good, general portrait, landscape, and non-zoom macro lens.

EDIT: 2/26/07 The lens began sticking after a few months and ultimately became useless. I dismantled it to determine the cause and noted that the (unofficial name) three rails that the internal lens slides on all have a velvet-type layer of friction material glued to them. One of my rails started losing it's adhesive velvet material and the lens stuck on it as I zoomed in and out, eventually causing my zoom to be inoperable.

A really terrific lens

29 August 2006

I upgraded to a D200 from my D70 and waited and waited and am still waiting for my 18-200 VR. I needed a wide angle lens so I listened to Ken Rockwell (I enourage everyone to visit his site) and bought the 18-55. It is a wonderful lens, produces excellent, sharp images, is light weight, and focuses quickly. It's an inexpensive build, but for the price I can use for a few years (or until my 18-200 arrives which ever is first) and feel that I have gotten more than my money's worth. Don't let the light weight fool you, though, this is a great lens.
