Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX Nikkor Review by SLRGear.
The Nikon 18-105mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 definitely raises the bar for Nikon’s current lineup of kit lenses; consistently sharp, even at large apertures, with good resistance to chromatic aberration. Corner shading is prevalent, but it’s not a noticeable problem. Distortion is evident and irregular, but again, you’re probably only going to notice it if you need your straight lines to be absolutely straight.
The inclusion of VR to this level of lens is a welcome addition; we don’t have pricing for the lens individually, but there will finally be an alternative to the 18-200mm VR for users who don’t need that range of focal lengths. Nikon was able to improve the optical quality, reduce the weight, and presumably, the end price. It’s easy to recommend the 18-105mm to Nikon shooters as an excellent walk-around lens.
