Technically advanced build quality ? Although this lens has all the technical advancements we have come to expect from Nikon and performs well in the field, I am disappointed with the plastic build quality. Many trade-offs for weight vs solid build vs cost. Much plastic. Unsure of quality of lenses vs my original AF lenses. Have to really consider durability in the field to decide if this is the lens for you. August 10, 2011
Good, but not Great The lens zooms smoothly, focuses fast and accurately. It fully covers the portrait range, rather than having than having that awkward break at 55 mm. It is fairly sharp, but not crisp. I expected a Nikon lens to fairly "pop" with sharpness. My 18-105 does not. I have two point-and-shoot cameras that are sharper. I love the Nikon D-90 camera and its 3200 ISO, but wish I had bought the camera without the "kit" lens and had bought another lens separately. August 8, 2011
It's alright This lens was a kit lens for my camera and for the time being it performed alright. Low-light performance is quite bad, due to the slow aperture. The zoom works well, with no zoom creep. The sharpness is alright, however at the longer focal length one can see some distortion April 14, 2011
O.K. lens, not super sharp The lens seems average for for overall serviceability. Sharpness seems lacking. April 14, 2011
Can't use it yet I can't discuss how good the camera is or whether I would recommend it because I haven't been able to use it yet. I had been using the Nikon D100 for years when I decided to buy the Nikon D7000 with telephoto lens. I explained to the salesman that I shot only in RAW. He did not tell me I would have to upgrade to Adobe Photoshop CS5 in order to process my photos. After struggling for a few days with my Photoshop CS3, I found that was the problem. In order to install CS5 I finally found I had to upgrade the memory in my computer and buy Snow Leopard. So I had to add onto the cost of the camera and lens the cost of Photoshop CS5 (luckily I got a student discount), the cost of memory updates and the cost of Snow Leopard. I had set enough money aside for the camera and lens but had not anticipated the extra expenses. It will take me a long time to climb out of the debt I incurred. I fault Nikon for not making that clear, Adobe for making it necessary, and the salesman at Camera and Darkroom in Santa Fe for not telling me. He was, by the way, very familiar with the camera and owned it himself. March 23, 2011
Decent all purpose lens from wide to telephoto Pro's ... MSRP of $400 for a single lens that will cover wide angle (18mm) to telephoto (105mm). Attractive price when included as a kit. Con's ... Plastic mount where Nikon has had to service the lens due to failure within 3000 pictures taken. As a general statement, a 'dedicated' focal length will outperform a 'multipurpose' lens. However, if you're looking for one lens to mount and use from wide angle to telephoto, the AF-S 18-105mm DX ED VR is worth considering. An alternative to consider includes the 18-70mm DX ED which did not have the VR feature (but still going strong after 15K pictures taken). Others include the 16-85mm ED VR or 18-200mm VR II if your budget permits. For professionals, you'll probably be disappointed with distortion in the 18-105mm range. Most users won't notice such distortion, or correct with software. I'm generally happy with the lens in general shooting to allow subject composition from within 2' to telephoto while covering wide angle landscapes and portraits. For the serious shooter, you'll probably have a fisheye, wide angle, wide angle zoom, 50mm standard focal, 60mm micro, and high power zoom in your Nikkor inventory. For those on a limited budget while trying to have a single lens to accomplish multiple tasks where f/stop and distortion most often won't be an issue, the 18-105mm is a decent overall lens where the 18-200mm might be a better choice for the extra money. August 10, 2010
Fragile but useful I have used this lens for over a year. It is good as an overall "normal" lens. It is also lightweight compared to other lenses. As with any lens that only reaches 105mm, it has limitations on macro photography, and can be a little short for some landscapes. The clarity is excellent, and I have produced sharp photos with excellent color rendition. My one beef is the plastic mount. This has proved a bit fragile for my use out in wilderness settings, and I recently had to return it for repair because an unnoticed blow apparently shattered one flange of the mount. This caused the electronic connections to go haywire and give error messages as well as incorrect exposures. Upon closer inspection, I also found that the sharp corners and edges on the mount were rounded off with wear. I have had a single body to work with and often switch lenses. I am not sure the plastic will stand up to heavy use of this nature. If the mount breaks, you will be paying for the repair (as noted in other reviews I have read) because it will be put down to impact damage. It is apparent that the plastic has limitations. My recommendation, having just purchased the 18-200mm is buy that instead. It has a metal mount, greater range and versatility, and better macro capability all in one lens. August 2, 2010
Good pictures; lightweigt; fragile construction The lens is quiet and easy to use and is relatively light, making it a good companion for travel. I've taken good pictures in daylight and night time with and without flash. However, while traveling overseas, my lens was attached to a D90 in a padded bag when it slipped off a suitcase onto the airport floor and the plastic lens mount broke, even though it was not a really hard fall. I was able to continue to use the lens for still photos by holding it tightly to the camera, though it was difficult. July 31, 2010
WA chromatic abberation is disappointing. Actually, my lens is a Nikkor AF-S 18-135 lens. It's not listed and this is as close as I could come. When I bought the camera, I thought, 'Wow! A great Nikkor zoom. This will be terrific!" I was surprised to find, on the WA setting, shooting on the shadow side of my subject, chromatic abberation. It's not just awful, but this is a Nikkor! Disappointing. July 30, 2010
I good kit-lens for beginner. A good lens for beginner, you can get a wide-angle until tele. The quality is acceptable, but it's feel too plasticy. The VR is usually useful, Anyway, what do you expect from a kit-lens, it's better than 18-55mm. I wouldn't recommend people to buy this lens separately, one is it a bit too expensive, two it's not worth to but separately as a walk-around lens, I would prefer 18-200 VRII, it's something worth more to invest in. I would say, if you are getting a D90 and you are a beginner, just want to walk around taking some pictures for personal usage, go for it. But if you want to get it separately, go for the 18-200 VRII, it's more worth to invest. July 30, 2010
for the price, its ok The first thing I told my wife is that even my old 50mm/1.8 E Series gives me better results than this one. But thats obvious. Really, it all depends on what you are looking for from a lens. Something inexpensive and usable for general purposes is what you get with this lens. And for the most part, most of us amateurs should be able to use it happily. I have not used it for too long (only about 3 months) and its been working fine for me as a packaged lens with D90. If I had a choice, I'd pay a little more and get a packaged deal with 18-200mm + d90. Lastly, Nikon has never disappointed me. And while I always harp about prices, Nikon is a part of my family. July 30, 2010
Sharpness doesn't kick in until f/11 I never see any professional photographers comment on any of these kit lenses or entry level lenses, so I will do my best. I would only recommend this lens to someone who just needed a lens for a holiday family get together. I don't mind shooting wide with it, but wow, it's almost like having a fisheye lens with the amount of barrel distortion present at 18mm. Very weird for a focal length of 18-105mm. I would expect that in an 18-200mm or an 18-300mm, but not this one. One of my test shots was as follows: Tripod mounted, VR off, ISO 100, SB-900 as Key, SB-600 as backlight, 1/250s Shutter, started shooting subject at f/5.6 in 1/3 stop increments. The lens didn't even sharpen up until f/11. Very disappointing. Now, I understand that this lens is no means close to a pro lens, but I've never owned a Nikon entry level kit lens that wasn't sharp at it's lowest aperture, let alone one that didn't start to show more signs of sharpening by the first stop decrease. The few photos that managed to turn out somewhat useful still needed extensive sharpening in Photoshop. However, the color rendition is fantastic. Nice, vibrant color reproduction and almost no noticeable chromatic aberration. There is quite a bit of vignetting apparent at all apertures at 105mm, but Adobe Camera Raw's automatic lens correction profile takes care of this without a hitch. The biggest downside to this lens is the fact that it has so much barrel distortion, people's features change when corrected in Lightroom. I would recommend sticking with the 18-55mm VR and 55-200 VR if you want to go the kit lens route. Sure you will be switching out the lenses, but the quality of your photographs will be drastically improved. Besides, unless you really need a wide angle view indoors, you won't be swapping lenses all that often, as the 55-200mm VR works superbly for indoor shooting. It possesses great color reproduction, sharpness, and not too much vignetting. As for the 18-55mm VR; there is a time for panoramas and wide angle shots. Typically that time is not when you will need a 200mm focal length. Also, with only having the mid-range of focal lengths, the 18-55mm VR gives you the benefit of a wide angle without all of the extra barrel distortion and vignetting as noticed with the 18-105mm. Both the 18-55 and 55-200 are tried and true, and the utmost of Nikon quality outside of the pro realm. They produce great photos and were matched to work together, not just in focal length, but photographic production as well. November 12, 2011
Lens Mount The lens mount is plastic and breakes easily, I was told the camera is not heavy enough to have a metal mount and that there are not issues with this lens, but just google Nikom lens mount issues and you will see that this is a big problem and not covered by there 5 year warranty. September 15, 2011
Disappointing Build Quality I got this lens as a kit lens with my D90. I had dropped my camera bag (not too hard) with the lens attached. The plastic mounting broke to my dismay. I have since read a number of similar stories online. How much more would it cost to make a metal mounting? Pennies or a buck or two at the most and it would save many people the grief of having to seek out service, not to mention the expense. Not happy with the quality. August 19, 2011
can't get a real sharp image/slow i bought this lens w/ the d7000. not real happy. i love the range, but it is not real sharp and it is slow, especially at 105mm. forget it if your doing indoor photography w/o flash or good lighting. i have to use 6400+ just to get frozen action. i only use it when i absolutely have to. that's not the way i want to spend my money. wish i would have spent more on another lens. a couple hundred dollars more would have saved me a couple of hundred i have already spent. April 20, 2011
Bad Connections Had this for less then a month and one of the pieces that hold it to the camera body broke when it was slightly knocked. There isn't any fixing this piece. I have to buy a new lens or try hold the lens in place so it doesn't lean forward at that connection point. What a bummer... August 1, 2010
Nice optics, poor mount How could such a great company ruin such a great lens with a plastic mount? Before having it repaired, I had to twist it back and forth gently to get it in just the right position for the camera to recognize it. It is working now, but based on hundreds of comments all over the web, I'm sure it will probably happen again, probably after the warranty has expired. Again, the image quality with this lens on my D90 is excellent, but I'm just living in constant fear tht it will break again. July 30, 2010
Lens mount is very poor! After I had this lens for about a year, the mount (which is made of plastic) broke, so I got a replacement and that one broke, too! The last time it broke, I had the camera around my neck and jumped down from about 3 feet. That simple jolt was enough to snap the lens off--I didn't hit it against anything, it just snapped off. Furthermore, both lenses became loose within a year, even with just on-and-off uses. I ended up having to hold the lens tight against the camera body and twisting it back and forth to get it to work consistently. This lens takes great pictures, but what good is that if the mount is cheap and the lens eventually loosens and breaks???!! I guess this is another example of "you get what you pay for". If you buy this lens, treat it gently! July 9, 2010
Plastic lens mount ruins a good lens. This lens would get a good review if it were not for the lousy plastic mount. As another reviewer pointed out, this is the point of the lens under greatest stress and it is not up to th job. Had mine just 6 months and the lens litteraly fell off the camera when it was in use as the cheap, plastic ring mount appeared to have given way simply under the stress of holding the lens to the camera body. Apparently, Nikon UK consider this to be 'physical damage' and want to charge me $100 to repair it. So be careful. If any parts on your Nikon body or lens fail due to stress, it will be your fault and your cost. Defected from Nikon 16 years ago, but came back last year to give Nikon another try. Beginning to wish I'd stuck with my Canon D5 and lens! Feel sad because otherwise it's not a bad lens. February 16, 2012
The plastic mount on this lens makes it worthless. The plastic mount which is the most stressful point on any lens is worthless due to this fragile and weak link. December 12, 2011
Lens is not as sharp as its 18-135 mm predecessor The 18-105 mm Nikkor provided as the "kit" lens for the new D7000 is no where near as sharp as its predecessor, the 18-135 mm. Though the 18-135 mm lacks the anti-vibration technology, I would certainly take it over the quite soft 18-105 mm. Nikon ought to simply insert AV technology in the quite good 18-135 mm design, and they'd have a winner. July 18, 2011
Mount Breaks too Easily My lens came with my camera. I had the lens less than one year when it just fell off the camera while taking a picture. I sent the lens in for repair and was told that it was not covered under warranty because I damaged the lens and therefore would be required to pay for it. I never damaged or dropped my lens. Other reviewers here have had the same complaint. When I appealed the decision again that I was the one who damaged the lens. I was also told that the lens’ mounts just don’t break and that I obviously must have done something to it (that is a quote). Apparently the company doesn’t understand manufacturing processes, because every manufacturing process has flaws. Lens mounts can be defective. Additionally, the mounts are made of plastic. The chances of a plastic mount breaking are much higher than if a metal mount had been used. Either way I was blamed for the failure and it cost me to get it fixed. This is the lens for you if you want one in which the mount will eventually break and you want to pay even if it’s still under warranty. April 14, 2011
Cheap plastic mount broke and lens dropped I was very happy with the lens until I was out hiking, turned the zoom and watched as my lens fell out of the camera and fell 20 ft. down the rocks. Don't buy ANY plastic mount lenses. March 16, 2011
This lens was cheaply made!!!!!!!! This lens came with the D90 kit that I purchased less than a year ago. Little did I know that the lens had a plastic mount. Just what little of time I used this lens, as I was mounting and dismounting the lens, the mount tabs broke off. I enquired about warranty relacement or repair I was told that it was not covered. From other reviews I have read, I am not the only one that has experienced this problem. I was and still am disatisfied with this lens, since I had to foot the cost of repairs. July 30, 2010
Lens distortion I am very disappointed in the significant pincushion and barrel distortion of this lens and would not recommend that anyone buy one. In any photos that should have straight lines in them, I have to use Photoshop's lens corrections if I want to make a framable print -- and I can't always fix the problems in Photoshop. July 30, 2010

Answer: 
Teleconverters do not work with this lens or any of the new generation Nikon lens. They work with the old Nikkor lenses but not with the new lenes with VR and auto focus etc. I would recommend purchasing a longer zoom focal length like a 200mm or 300mm VR AF.

Answer: 
Unless your sample of the 18-105 is sharper than mine, I would not use a teleconverter with it. A teleconverter is kind of like an optical "digital zoom." It does not waste megapixals, but it does take the existing resolution and spreads it out. My lens does not have any resolution to spare.

Answer: 
I would professionally stay away from Teleconverters with digital. The lenses are calibrated for optimum performance as per their design. When you add teleconverters, you interfere with engineering principles as well as lose your ability to auto-focus in most cases.

Answer: 
yes. it'll autofocus because it's an AF-S, meaning the focusing motor is inside the lens. it'll also enable exposure metering and distance calculation.

I just purchased a D90 with the Nikkor 18-105 kit lens, my question is about the focus ring. I thought that there would be a range to use and a stop point to let you know you have reached the closest or farest in that range. Mine kind of free turns, you can feel this very slight resistance like one should be there but goes past that pretty easy. Once it goes beyond that point it doesn't change the focus ability at all. Is it broke or is that the way everyone elses work??

Answer: 
That's how it works. Even though it doesn't say it on the side, that focusing ring is actually an M/A (autofocus with manual override), meaning you can have it set to AF, but turn the focusing ring without damaging the gears on the inside of the barrel.

Answer: 
the fine focus ring does tighten slightly at max and min point but over rides those points when a small pressure is applied, so no its not broke.

Answer: 
Cameras such as the D5100 do not have a focus motor in it, in this case the lens does. Please verify that the lens has the switch mode set to A and try another lens to determine if it’s the lens that is not Auto focusing.
