DX zoom lens for everyday shooting
This Nikon DX-format zoom covers 18-105mm with a variable f/3.5-5.6 aperture and 5.8x range. It fits Nikon digital SLR cameras and approximates a 27-157.5mm perspective on a 35mm-format film camera or FX-format body. The 15-element, 11-group optical design includes one ED glass element and one aspherical lens element. A rounded 7-blade diaphragm produces natural out-of-focus rendering.
Consistent sharpness across the range
Vibration Reduction steadies handheld shots at shutter speeds up to three stops slower than normal. The built-in Silent Wave Motor drives autofocus quietly and accurately through the full 0.45m to infinity focus range. Optical performance remains stable from wide-angle 76-degree views to 15-degree 20-prime telephoto framing. Minimum aperture reaches f/22-38 for extended depth of field when needed.
Lightweight build with supplied accessories
The lens ships with LC-67 67mm snap-on front cap, LF-1 rear cap, HB-32 bayonet hood and CL-1018 flexible pouch. Leather-textured barrel matches Nikon SLR body styling without adding bulk. No tripod collar or weather-sealing specifications are provided. Buyers needing constant f/2.8 aperture, full-frame coverage or longer telephoto reach should consider other optics.

Questions about this item
Does the Silent Wave Motor run quietly enough for video recording during long sessions?
The built-in Silent Wave Motor delivers quiet, swift autofocus suitable for video work without intrusive drive noise.
What camera mount and sensor format are required to use this lens?
It fits Nikon F-mount DX-format digital SLR bodies and provides a 27-157.5 mm equivalent view on that format.
Will the 67 mm filter thread and HB-32 hood fit the filters and hoods I already own?
The lens uses a 67 mm snap-on front cap and ships with the HB-32 bayonet hood, so existing 67 mm filters and compatible hoods will attach directly.
