Product Information

Full details

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is a highly versatile zoom lens designed for DX-format DSLR users who need a single-lens solution for everything from wide-angle landscapes to tight portrait shots. Its integrated Vibration Reduction (VR) system is a significant benefit for handheld shooting, though users should keep in mind that its variable aperture means it may require higher ISO settings in lower-light environments.

FAQs

Is this lens compatible with full-frame (FX) Nikon cameras?

It is designed for DX-format. It can mount on FX bodies, but you will need to enable DX Crop mode to avoid black corners.

What is the filter size for this lens?

The lens requires a 67mm filter.

Does this lens feature image stabilization?

Yes, it features Nikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) technology.

What is the closest I can get to a subject?

The closest focusing distance is 0.45 meters.

Is this a manual or autofocus lens?

This is an AF-S (Auto Focus Silent) lens with a built-in focus motor, allowing for autofocus on all Nikon DX DSLRs.

Troubleshooting

Lens is not autofocusing.

Ensure the M/A or M switch on the side of the lens is set to the autofocus position and check if the camera body is also set to autofocus.

Images appear blurry even with high shutter speeds.

Verify that the VR switch is turned on and that the camera is held steady, or perform a sensor cleaning on the camera body.

Dark corners appearing in images.

Ensure you are using the lens on a DX-format camera or that your full-frame camera is correctly set to DX crop mode.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent all-in-one zoom range for daily use
  • Effective Vibration Reduction for handheld stability
  • Lightweight and portable for travel
  • Sharp imaging for a wide-zoom range lens

Cons

  • Variable aperture limits low-light performance
  • Not compatible with FX-format sensors
  • Plastic build may feel less robust than professional glass

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the lens, align the white mounting mark on the lens barrel with the corresponding mark on your Nikon camera body and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into place. This lens is specifically designed for DX-format Nikon cameras; while it can physically mount on some FX cameras, you may experience vignetting unless the camera is set to 'DX Crop Mode.'

For maintenance, always use a dedicated lens blower or a soft microfiber cloth to remove dust from the front and rear elements. Always keep the lens cap on when not in use, and store it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup or fungus growth. Use a 67mm filter if you wish to protect the front element from scratches or debris.
