Wide-range DX zoom lens
The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR covers a 5.8x zoom range from wide-angle to short telephoto on DX-format cameras. It mounts on the Nikon F bayonet and accepts 67 mm screw-on filters. The lens is built with 15 elements in 11 groups and uses an internal focusing system driven by a Silent Wave Motor.
Vibration Reduction and optical corrections
Nikon VR image stabilisation allows handheld shooting at shutter speeds slower than normal. One ED glass element and one aspherical element work with Super Integrated Coating to reduce coma, flare and other aberrations. A rounded 7-blade diaphragm contributes to smooth background rendering.
Reach and close-focus limits
At the 18 mm end the angle of view reaches 76 degrees; at 105 mm it narrows to 15.2 degrees. Minimum focus distance is 1.48 ft with a maximum magnification of 0.20x. Aperture stops down to f/22. The variable maximum aperture of f/3.5-5.6 means less light reaches the sensor at longer focal lengths, limiting low-light and shallow-depth-of-field work at the telephoto end.

Questions about this item
Will the 67 mm filter thread or the AF-S Silent Wave Motor need periodic service or replacement?
The 67 mm screw-on filter thread is a passive metal mount with no moving parts, and the AF-S Silent Wave Motor is sealed inside the lens barrel; neither item has a scheduled maintenance interval.
At 105 mm and f/5.6, what optical limit appears first during extended handheld shooting?
The maximum aperture narrows to f/5.6 at the 105 mm end, so light-gathering ability becomes the limiting factor before diffraction or stabilisation performance.
How much heat or noise does the VR unit produce when left on all day?
The VR mechanism is a compact voice-coil system that runs cool and emits only a faint hum audible at close range; it adds no measurable heat to the barrel during continuous use.
