The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is a high-power  5.8x zoom  lens, designed exclusively for use with Nikon’s DX-format. The Nikon AF-S 18-105 VR lens features Nikon’s VR image stabilization and is perfect for portraits and action.

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens is a good choice for someone who wants more than the basic kit lens has to offer, while remaining compact and lightweight. The new Nikon AF-S 18-105 VR lens covers diverse shooting situations from wide angle landscapes and interiors to portraiture and medium range sports.

The Nikon AF-S 18-105 VR lens is compact and lightweight at 14.8 ounces, in part due to its all-plastic construction. Its G designation refers to its lack of an aperture ring. As an internal focusing (IF) lens, the front element does not rotate which makes it good for working with circular polarizing filters. The filter size is 67mm, with plastic threads on the filter mount. There is no focusing scale, no depth-of-field scale and no infrared focusing marks. The only markings on the lens are the focal lengths displayed in white with markings for 18, 24, 35, 50, 70 and 105mm.
