Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR ED Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
This lens is decent and versatile for everyday or recreational use. It’s light and covers a good range. However, the picture is a bit soft and less than fulfilling, but good enough for family recreational shots.
Rating: 3 / 5
Got a refurb for $ 250 for my D3000. Definitely worth the price. I would love the 18-200mm VR but considering the ridiculous asking price ($ 700 plus) and the added weight, this is a better deal. Besides, the resale value on ebay is around $ 300, So I might make money if I ever decide to sell this lens and upgrade to something else.
I use the 35mm f/1.8 for indoor without flash. It always gives me great images and forces me to frame my pictures better. But 18-105mm VR is definitely more fun and practical for daily use. And with VR I can get good hand held shots at night.
Hope this helps.

This lens has many positives going for it: it’s light, has a great range that would cover most amature use, quiet, resonable AF speed, resonable image quality, and resonable light gathering with VR.
It would be a perfect kit lens for the D40 (or Nikon’s entry SLR line).
The main problem is cost, at this price (about 330 to 400 new) I’d expect better optics, or higher durability (metal mount, less plastic), or both. The 18-55 lens and the 55-200 (either VR/non-VR) have better optics and are *much* cheaper.
This lens really makes you wonder if you should just save more and get the 18-200 intead (a much better lens optically and durablity, but *heavy*)
I do like this lens, it makes it much easier to just grab my camera and go. I just wish it were at the 200 to 250 price point.

I had been looking for the perfect lens for portraits. This lens covers the exact zoom length I need, while retaining the wide angle.
I was nervous about getting a refurbished camera lens. No problems at all. In fact, you would never even know it’s a refurb.
It’s not a “fast” lens. But, you won’t get a fast lens with VR. That’s ok. It’s easy to make up the difference with shutter speed. And for doing photos in a church, where it’s rude to use a flash, it opens up enough. Again, shutter speed helps there. Plus, shooting in RAW makes all the difference in the world.
Lenses are personal. Just do your research, and figure out what you need.
