Now Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G can be found with almost all Nikon DX cameras elementary and intermediate. It originally came as one of three options for the camera. Nikon D90, own, it was announced along with this camera.

Assembly
A copy of this review was made in Thailand. Important: Since 2014, the production of these lenses has moved to China.
The Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G is pleasant and weighty to the touch, weighing just over 400 grams. The lens uses common 67mm color filters.
Please note that the Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G on the mount side does not have a special rubber gasket, which is an indication that the lens has dust and moisture protection. It is better not to expose the Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G to severe moisture and dust tests.
The focus ring is plastic, and the zoom lens is rubberized. Unfortunately, the Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G has plastic bayonet, for which many photographers dislike it. The plastic mount is the first sign that the user is facing a lens from the simplest Nikon Nikkor line of lenses. For example, among the universal Nikon DX lenses, only the simplest kit lenses of the class have a plastic mount. 18-55/3.5-5.6 and another not very successful Nikon 18-135 / 3.5-5.6G.
The retractable lens barrel consists of two sections, to the touch they are quite durable, without any backlash.
With frequent use, the lens may begin to suffer from spontaneous lengthening of the frame (trunk of the lens) under its own weight.
There is a bayonet mount mark and a mark on the case for quick installation of the hood. The lens uses an HB-32 plastic lens hood, which is fixed in special grooves located near the front lens of the lens. The lens hood comes with the lens. The hood can be installed in the opposite direction for transportation. In this position, access to the zoom ring is partially lost. Exactly the same lens hood Nikon 18-70, Nikon 18-135 и Nikon 18-140.
When changing the focal length, the rear lens moves in the middle of the lens body like a pump - it draws in and pushes out air. This behavior of the rear lens is called 'vacuum cleaner effect', which can increase the amount of dust that accumulates in the camera. You can clearly see the effect of a vacuum cleaner with a Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G lens here.
The Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G comes with a CL-1018 soft case, and the lens itself comes in a small cardboard box with a characteristic Nikon coloring.

Diaphragm
Diaphragm lens consists of 7 rounded petalswhich form a fairly even hole. Diaphragm closes to F / 22 by 18 mm and to F / 38 by 105 mm of focal length.
Unfortunately, Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G cannot boast good aperture.
There are marks with a focal length on the zoom ring, the following is a list with the minimum numbers F available for these marks:
- 18 mm - F / 3.5
- 24 mm - F / 4
- 35 mm - F / 4.5
- 50 mm - F / 5
- 70 mm - F / 5.3
- 105 mm - F / 5.6

Stabilizer
The Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G has a second generation 'Nikon VR' image stabilizer that can compensate for 3.5 stops by shutter speed. In values excerpts this means that you can shoot at shutter speeds 10-12 times longer than what the lens without a stabilizer requires.
The manual for the Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G lens says 3 stops (measured by Nikon), and the official website 3.5 feet (measured by CIPA). In any case, the stabilizer works well.
To enable / disable the stabilizer on the lens there 'VR ON / OFF' button. The stabilizer itself works well. I was able to take pictures without grease and hard work at 105 mm focal length and 1/30 second. Unlike more advanced lenses, such as Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 16-85mm 1: 3.5-5.6G ED VR SWM IF Aspherical, this lens does not have the ability to switch stabilizer modes.
While the image stabilizer is turned on and off, the viewfinder may twitch slightly, this is the norm and should not be afraid. The stabilizer is turned on by pressing the focus activation button.
The lens can track the movement of the camera during panorama shooting. In this case, the stabilizer will suppress vibration only in the direction perpendicular to the movement of the camera.

Focusing
Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G focuses quietly thanks to 'SWM'-motor (Silent Wbird Motor - quiet wave / ultrasonic motor) and refers to the lens'AF S'type (with built-in motor focusing), and therefore it will automatically focus on any Nikon digital SLR camera.
Auto Focus Speed - average. On cameras Nikon D90, D200 the lens focuses tenaciously and does not release objects from the field of sharpness.
During focusing, the front and rear lenses remain stationary, as the lens uses internal focusthat is indicated on the case by the letters'IF'-'Iinternal Focus' - 'Inner Focus'. The front lens does not rotate while zooming. It is possible to use any filters without problems.
When changing the focal length, the front lens does not rotate.
The minimum focusing distance is only 45 cm, while you can shoot Macro with 1: 5 magnification... Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G does not have a window with a distance scale, depth of field scale and other useful marks.
In manual focus mode, the ring rotates about 120 degrees, when it reaches the extreme positions it does not rest, but continues to slide, without affecting the focus. Manual focus is easy.
On the lens housing you can find focus switch 'A - M'. In position 'A', automatic focusing works, and in position M - manual focusing.
The 'A-M' switch in this lens is non-standard. Normally, in all lenses equipped with such switches, manual focus cannot be performed in 'A' mode. But here is what the manual says for Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G:
Manual focus can be performed even if the AM lens mode is set to A. Set the camera to focus on AF-S and press the shutter-release button halfway to autofocus. Then, while holding the shutter-release button halfway, manually rotate the lens focus ring to fine-tune the focus. Note. Do not try to rotate the focus ring while the autofocus function is operating. When the autofocus function completes, release and press the shutter-release button halfway again.
Thus, in AF-S mode, after successful focusing, you can still rotate the focus ring to adjust the focus or refocus it. Unfortunately, such a property is only a miserable semblance of a full-fledged regime M / AM with the possibility of constant manual focus control.
You can find more information about lenses with a similar feature in the section Focus Features 'A', for some Nikkor lenses with the 'A-M' switch.

Image quality
The lens is sharp enough in the center of the frame, even on open apertures. Sharpness sags a little at 105 mm. Unfortunately, the corners and edges of the image on open apertures remain very weak. The lens also suffers from chromatic aberration and vignetting. Modern cameras can automatically correct vignetting and chromatic aberration.
Of course, at 18 mm you can see barrel-shaped distortion, which becomes pads like with an increase in focal length. The level of dystoria is at an adequate level for comfortable perception of the image.
Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G well tolerates side and back light and shows good contrast, which is typical of modern universal lenses. In general, I did not find anything particularly bad or good in the quality of the image obtained with the Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G.

My experience
Nikon 18-105mm 1: 3.5-5.6G ED Nikkor VR AF-S SWM DX IF Aspherical was my first universal lens for my first two cameras Nikon D40 и Nikon D90. I used it a little over a year, after which I changed it to Tamron 17-50mm F / 2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF). Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G is nothing more than an ordinary whale lens with a slightly expanded focal length, which allows you to use part of the tele-range.
For a month, I was simultaneously holding Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G and Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 1: 3.5-5.6GII ED SWM Aspherical, which allowed me to compare their capabilities. As a result, it turned out that using a range of focal lengths of 18-105 is several times more convenient than using 18-55. The ability to use 105 mm of focal length on the Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G is one of the lens's greatest strengths. Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G also has a more pleasant / solid appearance and it is much more convenient to handle it than with 18-55.
This lens is not a bit suitable as a regular lens for some more or less serious shootings (wedding, responsible reporting, etc.). I took off 4 wedding on the Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G and now I regret it. In the same time Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G fits very well for simple tasks. He repeatedly helped me out on hikes, on vacation, for homely leisurely filming. Like it or not, but finding a more balanced lens than the Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G is very difficult.
From cheap universal lenses for Nikon DX cameras, I advise you to look at the options Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-70mm 1: 3.5-4.5G ED DX SWM IF Aspherical и Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 18-135m 1: 3.5-5.6G ED SWM IF Aspherical. True, these lenses can only be found in use on the secondary market. A good replacement for Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G are Nikon DX VR AF-S Nikkor 18-140mm 1: 3.5-5.6G ED SWM IF Aspherical и Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 18-200mm 1: 3.5-5.6GII ED SWM VR IF Aspherical.
The most similar lens from a third-party manufacturer is Sigma Zoom 18-125mm 1: 3.8-5.6 DC OS HSM (Optical Stabilizer).

Results
Nikon 18-105mm 1: 3.5-5.6G ED Nikkor VR AF-S SWM DX IF Aspherical lens performed quite well as universal lens for amateur photographers. On vacation, he is simply indispensable. Unfortunately, one should not expect high optical performance from such a lens. In general, the lens is good for its price class.
I recommend it as the very first lens for Nikon DX cameras. It is best to buy a Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G kit (together with the camera), in which case the cost of the camera and lens will be lower than their total cost separately. Using Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G is much more convenient than class lenses. 18-55/3.5-5.6 due to the wider range of focal lengths.

Hello everyone! There is a d7100 camera, fixes 35,50, I bought nikkor along with d28 as a staffer, and here’s what kind of thing- on the d105 the picture suits, but on the 70 it’s not very because of the extra softness and soap (I don’t aim for extra sharpness, very like to shoot on kaleinar 70n, helios 7100n). Question 5-81 on crop it is better 18-105 or not, is it worth it to look for worthy copies. Thanks in advance to all those who answered.
according to personal impressions, 28-105 is less expensive than 18-105. So if sharpness is needed it is better to look towards the modern 24-85, perhaps.
Lynx, thanks! Somehow I overlooked, I will look closely.
Hello!!! Thank you for your work! Please tell me which lens to choose on the D7000, I’ve flipped it for 18-105 for two years now, I want something more, the choice fell on 17-55 / 2,8, will the difference be noticeable ??? family shooting: children, travel, city, architecture, several times studio shooting. Thank you in advance.
It is better to buy a fix, and leave 18-105.
Hello Arkady. I read your articles. Very interesting, I am only sitting on your site for reviews.
tell me that it's still better
camera d5200
there are 50 mm 1.8
and there is 18-55 that was previously dropped - repaired, replaced the zoom ring.
Now I tend to choose between 18-105 and 18 - 140 and 18-200,
I need a sharp lens, juicy, more detailed.
I rent children, family, sometimes landscapes, a tourist. music festivals and so on.
there is an external flash - I use it often. but sometimes you want a universal zoom, so that you can put it on without taking off, without a flash during the day. (for example a music festival) in the evening it is already possible and a flash.
I am a lover. 2 years experience. rarely use lightroom.
I really hope for your constructive answer.
having a fifty dollars, what to take 18-105, and then some kind of telephoto for the children’s performances, or 18-140 (which is sharper and more pleasant) or immediately 18-200
Sharpness - to fixes, or prof. zooms, such as nikon 17-55 / 2.8, from 18-105 / 18-140 / 18-200 / 18-300 super sharpness should not be expected, perhaps 16-85 can still show something intelligible.
Thanks for the answer, about super sharpness I realized
fifty dollars is enough for this business,
but still what is better in the picture? from this trio? the choice is very difficult. who says that 18-105 is a versatile and good zoom, who says that 18-200 at 24 megapixels will not "allow"
18-140 is a more average option? is it worth taking it? to replace 18-55, will it show a picture better?
Nikon 18-105mm 1: 3.5-5.6G ED Nikkor VR AF-S SWM DX IF Aspherical tested today. Sharpness is more than acceptable. Much better than Nikon 18-55mm 1: 3.5-5.6GII VR II AF-S DX Nikkor. And yet I bought a fix - Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm 1: 1.8G SWM Aspherical.
... and for comparison ... a fixed photo - Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm 1: 1.8G SWM Aspherical:
Juicy and more detailed are different things ... You can't get an interesting picture from modern zooms ... Either quality, or convenient FR ...
Why not get it? You get it, everything depends on you. Modern zooms have better contrast and color reproduction. There is modern enlightenment, aspherical lenses, etc.
Here, whale 18-55:
I fully support your point of view with regard to enlightenment - hence the best contrast, color rendition and sharpness, whatever one may say, earlier optics do not have this, but the fact that 18 - 140 is better than 18 -105 is nonsense, only metal mount and a little more focal length, otherwise the same optical design
if the budget allows, then 18-140 and only a new one.
and 18-200 is not worth it? better 18-140? is it newer, it seems like it is specially for new cameras?
18-140 would be the best option.
thanks a lot. I will try to chase for 18-140.
The official is not cheap. By the way, the difference from 18-200 is only 150 dollars, but in fact I do not need 200mm. just thought that 18-200 draws more beautifully
here is a photographed photo at 140mm zoom. distance to the coast 27 km. lens 18-140.
Thank you.
I basically need a zoom to shoot the performances of children (my own) and to shoot my favorites at the festival. Well, pure travelsum.
Which option is preferable for Nikon D7000: 1.Tokina AT-X 124 PRO DX AF 12-24mm f / 4 + Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm 1: 3.5-4.5G ED VR SWM IF Aspherical + Nikon 70-300mm f 4.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor, or 2.Nikon 18-105mm 1: 3.5-5.6G ED Nikkor VR AF-S SWM DX IF Aspherical + Nikon 70-300mm f 4.5-5.6G IF- ED AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor - please reply or express your opinion.
70-300 VR can be left, the rest can be drained ... Buy old glasses with letter D ...
And then what to shoot in the range of 12-70mm
such a universal zoom has not yet been invented. I have to buy two glasses.
I welcome everyone, please help a novice lover, I came across such a question, due to problems with finances, I need to leave one lens or Nikon 18-105mm or Tamron 17-50mm F / 2.8, just these two glasses have only appeared for a week and I I can’t decide which one to leave, the principle was not particularly critical, because I’m shooting mostly only during the day, and the stab is not very important, I have a question such as which one would be better in sharpness ???, I’m still far from an advanced amateur and it seems that the picture from two glasses is the same with focal 18-35mm, I appreciate it in advance .
has no global difference, but tamron in your case I think is preferable - a little more possibilities.
thank you very much
Focusing to infinity with this lens + D3200 - is it possible and how?
MDF 30 cm with a different lens - d300 is it impossible so?
tell me my AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G ED VR lens,
in automatic mode (when “A” is on on the lens), you can tweak the focus using the ring on the lens in video mode. I recently bought a D3100 with this lens and am trying to learn a little bit so as not to spoil something and more or less photograph. (photo for family, kindergarten, outdoor recreation). Can you tell me something useful for this model. thanks
You can’t twist the ring. There are three types of lenses:
1. A / M - M. It is possible in any position.
2. A - M. Only in position M.
3. M. You need to twist.
When shooting video, set focus in manual mode. If the subject is static, there is no problem - catch focus before shooting and in front. If the subject is moving, such as a struggle, close the iris. This achieves depth of field. If you are not shooting a moving bike on a curve with zooming in and out then it is difficult. You must understand that a camera is not a video camera, but a lens is a completely different device with its own performance characteristics.
Hello! Help advice. Was in the south (+38) took this lens. When zooming, the ring receded. With occult use (there was no way out), the pictures turned out to be normal. Upon arrival home (+ 18, + 20), the lens did not rotate, but now I noticed that the ring is in place and does not move away. I'm afraid to pick. Hence the question: is it necessary to move it and stick it. Is it possible?
Thank you for the comments, if everything returned to its place and there are no problems, there is no need to touch it - I would do so.
What about my question - I found a description on the Internet that a new motor is in this type of lens and the mechanism is more reliable. The focus ring can only be twisted after the camera focuses (the shutter button is pressed halfway).
Of course I will still look for information.
If the table is not welded from iron and made of paper but this time more reliable, I would still be careful not to put anything heavy and valuable on it.
The ring nevertheless departed.
I just looked at myself, looking at how a whole structure is spinning along with the extension ring. maybe it just snaps
if you have instructions for the lens, then look on page 55 in the frame, a description about the focus. if not write an e-mail I'll throw you off
Little ring.
Little ring. It is placed only in the upright position and does not snap into place.
just glue a drop of lei.
I buy Kodak DCS Pro 14n
I have this lens from nikon 90D, can I install it to check the device? You write that it is not recommended, why? hardware incompatibility?
Hello, I have a D3100 with an af-s18-105 vr lens. I have the opportunity to take 70-300 inexpensively, but without a stab and a motor, please tell me whether it is worth taking or not, will there be a significant difference in advance, thanks
Hello everyone, I have a problem, I choose the zoom to overlap the focal lengths from a wide angle to 70 mm, I choose between 18-105, 35-70 3.3-4.5, 28-85 3,5-4,5.
For the widest possible angle, 35 mm is quite satisfactory, as I had experience working with a 35 mm fix, so please share your opinion on what would be preferable in terms of price-quality ratio, budget - 3500 UAH
Do you have a screwdriver on your camera? If there is no screwdriver, then only 18-105 remains.
Yes
Hello! there are d7000, 18-105 and 50 1: 8. from zoom 18-105 the picture quality is no longer satisfactory, I want something more, please advise, zoom is an order of magnitude higher in quality, but not with a sky-high price such as Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikko. zoom is needed for matinees, christenings, filming in the studio, in general, where it is a bit crowded with the lead-wire. I will be very grateful for the advice
16-85 will be slightly better in picture quality, and an order of magnitude in build quality.
Look towards the newest 16-80, if it does not shift the price tag of $ 900
if 50mm is not needed, then Sigma 18-35 F / 1.8
+1
Tell me, Arkady, and these photos were shot with an on-camera flash?
There are different shooting options.
Tell me, which glass will give a better picture - this lens or the Nikor 18-70?
http://www.dxomark.com/Lenses/Compare/Side-by-side/AF-S-DX-NIKKOR-18-105mm-f-3.5-5.6G-ED-VR-on-Nikon-D7100-versus-AF-S-DX-Zoom-Nikkor-18-70mm-f-3.5-4.5G-IF-ED-on-Nikon-D7100__205_865_174_865
Read the same ones, but 18-105 allows multi-pixel sensors to be better, and it will be more convenient for focal
Bullshit all these tests. It is necessary to compare specific two instances.
About the same quality
I'm interested in such a lens parameter as the focus distance (distance).
Does it depend on the focal length? Maybe there is a graph or table of this dependence for this lens?
PS: I use it with the Nikon D5100.
The focusing distance does not really depend on the focal length (in fact, it practically does not). All lenses focus from MDF (the minimum focusing distance possible for a given lens) to infinity. MDF depends on the optical design and its implementation. Each MDF lens has its own. All photographic lenses can focus to infinity, some, due to their special characteristics, may be able to focus beyond infinity.
Thank you for your prompt response.
I have no questions about MDF, this is one of the tabular characteristics of the lens.
What interests me is the focusing distance (distance). There is such a parameter in EXIF images, and I wanted to know what it depends on - on the focal length, on the aperture, or something else.
In the internet, I even met a graph of such a dependence, but for another lens. I'm interested in this particular lens.
The focusing distance, oddly enough, depends on the focusing distance to the removed lens. EXIF viewer may not display embedded data correctly. The best viewer for this data is http://regex.info/exif.cgi
It is this viewer that I have been using for a long time.
Here is the data of the same image in this program.
And further:
So what is not clear? The focal distance at which the focus distance to the subject was taken was indicated.
