Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens is a versatile wide-angle to a telephoto zoom lens for DX-format Nikon DSLRs. With DX sensors it provides the full-frame focal length equivalence of 27-157.5mm incorporating wide-angle to telephoto perspectives. Complementing its multi-application capabilities is a lightweight and compact build and wide zoom ring. This Nikon lens is designed for the DX-format DSLR system. This versatile optic offers much of the benefits of the enormously-popular 18-200mm VR lens but in a lighter, smaller body that takes a smaller filter as well.

The AF-S Silent Wave Motor in the 18-105mm VR yields speedy, silent, on-the-money AF performance with full-time manual focus override. In particular, the AF-S motor keeps up with skittish, erratic subjects that overwhelm normal camera-driven-motor AF systems. You'll get more 'keeper' images of those fast-moving animals, athletes, children, vehicles and the like. Along with the SWM (Silent Wave Motor), the 18-105 benefits from the VR Image Stabilizer built into the lens, which will give you the ability to handhold the camera at shutter speeds up to three stops slower than would otherwise normally be possible. The benefit of in-lens stabilization is seen in the viewfinder, making composing and capturing the image easier as well.
