I bought this lens from ClickElectronics Warehouse deals to replace an ageing 18-70mm Nikon lens (that is also a really good lens), so I’m not completely certain about the history of the lens before I got, but to me it looked to be brand new.The lens has a nice quality feel about it and so far has taken some very sharp photos.The only point I would make about it compared to the older 18-70mm Nikon lens, is that it doesn’t focus quite as fast and that was a minor disappointment.But overall I’m very pleased with the lens and would recommend it as a good general purpose lens that will stay on my camera for most of the time.

PROS-Nikon quality – can not compare to other copies on market-Prime delivery – super fast-Amazing prize – discount is unbelievableVRII lens – the latest VR lens manufactured by Nikon – Which in my opinion makes a great deal of difference.CONS-Comes delivered in a white box with a label and not the official Nikon box gold and blackPlease note I am buying this lens from seller COOPS UK with a Prime deliveryLink it case it helpshttp://www.ClickElectronics.co.uk/Nikon-AF-S-NIKKOR-18-55-3-5-5-6G/dp/B00HQ4W4PC?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00This it self has a few downsides which are not obviously the box.You will doubt its originality – As I didSpecially when you that the lens comes delivered inside a huge box for a very little lens and that inside the lens is simply wrapped around bubble wrap.But after doing a lot of research I have found that ClickElectronics is one of the most secure places to buy legitimate products.Specially those sold through ClickElectronics, so that gives me a kind of a security.-No lens ID – No Nikon WarrantyNikon lenses normally come with a little piece of paper which is the warranty.This paper states the model and the serial number for the lens.Some Nikon lenses (delivered in the gold and black box) do not have this paper but then on the box itself they would have the serial number, so you can the go to Nikon UK site and register your product.This lens came without either of them, no paper and no serial on the box (all white box)As I have personally covered this lens with an Accident Insurance through Domestic & General whom Nikon works with and recommends I was not too bothered about this as having the receipt/invoice is enough as if in any case purchase receipt was ever needed.I am also guessing customers could contact the seller to get the lens serial number.IN CASE IT HELPS:The insurance cover for this lens through Domestic & General is only just over £6 per calendar month for 12 months to protect the lens over any accidental damage and functionality issues for 5 years.The same cover for 3 years is almost £4.I must add I do not work for Domestic & General, ha ha ha. Just thought it might help someone.I hope my review has been helpful to you, thanks for reading.

I updated my old 18-200 to this new version it obviously has the usual zoom lens limitations but for quality and value for money it is a great lens to use. Unless you want to pay thousands of pounds for a professional lens this does a very good job for all round photography. Recommended.

Replacing a non VR 18-55

Brought to replace a non VR 18-55 of 2008 vintage which had developed occasional auto focus problems. Seven years of development have resulted in a more refined lens with a number of advantages over it’s ancestor namely….1. Lens front does not rotate, making it much easier to use a circular polarizer or graduated ND filter.2. No vignetting at the wide (18mms) end of the focus range .3. VR assistance in poor light increases the likelihood of a sharp shot.4. Compact collapsed size of lens.5. Improved manual focus operation due to the wider and better positioned ring.On the slight downside there is an additional operation required to unlock the lens prior to taking a shot.However given that the resultant images are as sharp as ever and the cost is low a 5 star product.

I have had this lens for about 4 months now, on the front of a D40 and more recently a D90 and have got to say its amazing. great, sharp, image quality, excellent build quality and the VR works really well. To be honest, if you are on the road or out and about shooting its really all you need. The only time I can think that you would want something else would be for serious macro work, ultrazoom or perhaps indoor portraits. This lens is pricey, that’s for sure, but it is worth every penny!
