The versatile AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens offers Nikon's proprietary Vibration Reduction (VR) technology to help consumers snap sharper photos than ever before, even while shooting handheld. Compact and lightweight, this affordable lens is an optimum lens to use with Nikon DX-format digital SLR cameras and is the ideal focal length as a "first lens" to faithfully capture life's day-to-day moments, or a welcome addition to a Nikon DSLR photographer's already-established lens assortment.

Like all NIKKOR lenses, the AF-S 18-55mm VR is engineered to exacting standards to meet the demanding needs of digital photography. This digitally optimized lens features hybrid aspherical elements to minimize chromatic aberration, while Nikon's Super Integrated Coating reduces instances of lens flare and ghosting. The lens also features Nikon's compact Silent Wave Motor (SWM) technology for quiet, fast and accurate autofocus performance so no moment is missed.

In addition, it features VR technology, which enables photographers to take substantially sharper handheld pictures at slower shutter speeds than would otherwise be possible. This provides the distinct advantage of being able to shoot more effectively in a much broader variety of challenging conditions.
