Best for its price
I love this lens! It came with my D3100 Camera, and it is great for general shooting. I've heard complaints about the Macro and low-light conditions, but it isn't for those purposes first of all, but I think they are pretty stinking good for the price. It is a great lens for beginners, like me.

Extremely good lens
I have taken many pictures and know the value of the lens in picture quality. In my opinion this has provided the quality picture I'm looking for.

Great lens!!
My 18-55 came as part of my D40 kit. I must've gotten a fantastic copy of the lens b/c I've never had issued with this lens when used within its range. Of course I have trouble w/autofocus when in low light. It's not a meant for extremely low light. It IS however an amazingly fast lens that takes crisp, clear pictures. I've grabbed awesome

So far, So good..
I have only had it for a couple days, but so far i have enjoyed it. I can use both manual and auto focus to get good pictures. Auto focus can be a little slow, but otherwise a nice product.

Full of Quality and Dependability
I got the Nikon 18-55mm AF-S DX VR with my D60 kit, my first DSLR, and used it until I felt comfortable enough with the camera to upgrade to the 18-105. The 18-55 was perfect for a learning curve. It takes outstanding shots, especially landscape and architecture. Indoors, with longer exposures, it also delivered crisp clear images without a tripod because of the VR feature.
The qualities of all functions are extremely good, especially considering the price of the glass. Sometimes, especially the first few months, it took a bit to focus but that may also have been my own ignorance of various functions that both the camera and lens offer. I have read some reviews where people experienced distortion at the bottom and top of the range but I never noticed this in my captures. Though it is made of plastic it seems durable enough and it connected and disconnected with ease from the D60 body.
While I had this lens for the first 7 months of my DSLR usage, I probably clicked about a thousand shots a month on average. The D60 and 18-55 were with me on my trip to England and the comments I have received on castles I photographed have been great. In fact, many friends and relatives requested framed 8x10s and 11x14s. That certainly makes one feel good. And I thank the D60 and 18-55 for that to a major degree.
I would recommend this to anyone starting their DSLR life. For the money I do not think it can be beat.

Answer:
This usually means that the aperture is not set on the Orange number on the aperture ring. DSLR's prefer the aperture to be controlled through the ca,era, not on the lens. Set the aperture on the orange number and go into Aperture Priority or Manual modes to control the aperture. This is why the newer AF-S lenses with the G next to the aperture no longer have an aperture ring because it's controlled through the camera.Jun 1, 2011 by

Answer:
The A is for Aperture Priority, this mode allows you to manually select the aperture using the command dial (Search command dial on Nikon's website for details). The shutter speed will automatically be selected for you in this mode. The M mode is Manual Mode. In this mode, you manually select both the Aperture and the Shutter speed. If your just getting started with photography, I recommend using the P for Program mode. In this mode, the aperture and shutter speed is automatically selected for you but gives you the ability to tweek exposures, metering and so forth. Start there and gain a solid understanding of how the camera selects the aperture and shutter speed. Purchase a D3100 Guide book from a local or online bookstore and learn the camera from there.Jun 1, 2011 by

Answer:
The zoom is never locked so if your zoom capability is locked, you should send it to Nikon for inspection. The plastic tube holding the front glass element can be manually focused when you put the lens on Manual focus noted by a "M" near the switch. Once you place it on Manual, the focal ring will unlock for manual focusing.Jun 1, 2011 by

You need to move the switch on the lens from A to M in order to manually focus since the lens is the one that has the built-in AF motor.Has staff answer

Why does the lens make a scratching sound when the lens is focussing?
While using Autofocus on the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II lens, the camera makes a scratching sound. From the description, the lens's autofocus mechanism is supposed to be ultra quiet.

VR is vibration control. It stabilized an image & helps eliminate user shake which might blur the picture. If you have your lens fully extended, definitely turn the VR on. If you're getting a lot of blurred pictures at a long range, it could be from user shake which this will help eliminate.Answer:
