Nikon 18-55mm DX Zoom Lens

This Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor zoom lens is built for Nikon DSLR cameras with APS-C sensors. It covers a focal range equivalent to 27 to 82.5mm in 35mm photography. The Silent Wave Motor provides quiet autofocus, while Vibration Reduction helps steady handheld shots. It suits beginners and everyday photographers wanting a compact, versatile kit lens.

Sustained shooting performance

The Micro-type ultrasonic focus motor keeps autofocus smooth and quiet during extended sessions such as video recording or long photo walks. Vibration Reduction remains effective at slower shutter speeds throughout the zoom range, reducing blur from camera shake over time. The 0.28 metre minimum focus distance is available at every focal length, allowing consistent close-up work without refocusing limits. The variable f/3.5-5.6 aperture adjusts automatically as you zoom.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your Nikon DSLR body supports AF-S lenses with a built-in focus motor, as some entry models require this for autofocus. Confirm the lens mount matches your camera’s F-mount DX format; FX bodies will operate in crop mode with reduced resolution. Ensure you accept the white-box bulk packaging, which omits the standard retail box and accessories. No other specific camera features are required for basic operation.
