Versatile DX Zoom Lens

This Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR is a compact zoom for DX-format DSLR cameras. It covers a 27-82.5mm equivalent range, making it suitable for everyday photography from wide landscapes to portraits. The pulse stepping motor delivers fast, near-silent autofocus performance.

VR Stabilisation and Optical Design

Vibration Reduction helps steady handheld shots and video in low light. Two aspherical elements reduce aberrations and distortion across the zoom range. A rounded 7-blade diaphragm produces smoother background blur, while Super Integrated Coating cuts flare and ghosting. Lens settings are accessed directly from the camera menu.

Ideal for Beginners and Travel

The lightweight build suits photographers wanting a single walk-around lens for mixed subjects and HD video. Buyers who need a wider maximum aperture for low-light primes or a longer telephoto reach for distant action should look at other options. Manual focus operation is handled via the camera body.

Questions about this item

Will the pulse stepping motor need lubrication or replacement after extended use?

The pulse stepping motor is sealed and requires no routine lubrication; replacement would only be necessary if the motor itself fails.

What limits continuous handheld shooting at 55 mm focal length?

Vibration Reduction provides up to 4 stops of stabilization, so the practical limit is how steadily you can hold the lens at 55 mm.

Does the lens barrel extend or heat up during all-day video recording?

The barrel extends when zooming from 18 mm to 55 mm but remains compact; no heat buildup is reported during prolonged video use.
