    Hello, I want to buy such a lens for my d300 camera, please tell me can I make the firmware? If so, where can I find it on the Internet?

    Good day!
    Is there any point in changing 18-55 AFP to 18-200 BP? (Not which BP2, but the first BP)

      Yes, it turns off. Via the camera menu

        No matter how I twisted, and no matter how I re-flashed my Nikon D7200 - to the latest firmware (C: Ver.1.04 + Ver.2.017) from the Nikon website (https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/ru/products/197/D7200.html) - nowhere did I find any menus with the ability to cancel VR (control its on / off) !!!
        ---
        So, that - not for every device there is such an opportunity, unfortunately.
        It remains to wait and hope for a "new thing" (firmware) ???

        If I'm wrong - tell me who did it !!!

        5600, 7500 function is available and works. True, the lens loses esque in photo quality.

    I updated the firmware on the Nikon D5200, you cannot turn off the stabilizer from the menu! There is no such item in the menu! I had to take the same nikon18-55af-p only without VR! In a trailer for such focal VR-is not needed.

      Why isn't VR needed? I really wanted to know the facts? I have been using 18-55 without VR for a long time, I really lack stabilization. Especially at shutter speeds of 1/80 or 1/100. It is extremely difficult to take a sharper photo without a tripod.

        At such exposures with such focal lengths there should be no special blur. It depends of course what you are shooting, whether your hands are shaking. What prevents you from shortening your exposure or reading, for example, Arkady's article “How to shoot with your hands”?

    Bought a kit D5300. I tried to find another zoom lens. I tried Sigma 18-200, Nikon 18-140,18-200, 16-85. but something did not suit. Either color or color reproduction. but most of all sharpness. Even on the same FR. So I think AF-P 18-55 is not so bad, while others are not so good. As a result, I took a fix on 35 mm. And the glass from Zenith began to use

        I can’t resist - focus on the eye, not on the nose. And on business - if they did not suit, but you need a zoom, then try 17-55 / 2.8.

        What's the trick here? :) The small pixel matrix loves short exposures. Better be higher ISO and noise than a grease-stained picture. Noises can be fixed, no grease. Set an upper limit of 3200 and do not try to remove at ISO 100.

    Good day. I want to buy a lens from the review for nikon d5200, but the information about the inability to turn off the stabilizer is embarrassing. Please share your impressions if someone used this lens on the d5200. Most of all interests: whether the stabilizer creates problems when shooting from a tripod? I read that with af-p 70-300 the camera itself turns off the stabilizer when not needed. Maybe 18-55 is similar?

      Petal for zooms and fixes with a wide angle so that there is no vignette, conical for televisions. Look for a lens hood specifically for your lens, even a replica.

    The lens is 18-55 AFP ... the petal is clear so that there is no vignette, but the cone will behave like ... I stumbled upon the cone by accident, everywhere in the shops the Internet is petal

      18-55 need a petal hood. Cone for Canon is a laughing stock, it is two centimeters deep, in height of the lowest part of the petal hood. And the one you show is like a hood from a telephoto, and somewhere around 50-70 millimeters. Even if it fits mechanically, it will give the vignette already at 55 mm, and at 18 close almost half the frame.

    I want to choose a lens for my D750 for shooting movies with silent and smooth focusing.
    This one focuses noisily, albeit not jerkyly :(
    Nikon to Kenon in this matter - sho crustaceans to the Moon
    :( Any Canon zoom with STM motor focuses SILENTLY! NEVER and
    NO ONE will hear the noise from the motor in the video, even at maximum
    volume.
    And the rotating front lens is generally an anachronism and mockery! The same analogue from Kenon with STM (at least 18-55, at least 18-135) does not rotate and using a polarik is a nice thing.
    So that :(
    I’ll buy a better Canon 18-55 IS STM for my second Canon 50D and get what I want :( It’s a pity that I have to hold a second Canon 50D camera because of this.

    there are two lenses
    nikon 18-55mm 1: 3.5-5.6g vr af-s dx nikkor
    Nikon DX VR AF-P Nikkor 18-55mm 1: 3.5-5.6G
    which one is best suited for the D5300 by a beginner photographer himself (very beginner :)) and there is also a D5100,
    I got it by accident, and I want to try my hand and so spend the time pleasantly and with benefit.
    one I want to sell and buy a better lens.
    please tell me to leave and what else to take?
    thanks in advance

      In AF-P version, fast and quiet focusing. This is especially ideal for video filming. But AF-P only supports D5300. D5100, unfortunately, no. Any other lens is hard to recommend, but I would recommend playing around with the Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1: 1.8G. This is a good, light fix for different types of shooting, and it's also quite cheap.

    Perhaps the best 18-55 from Nikon.
    With good sharpness and fast autofocus (better and quieter than 18-140 and 24-120 / 4).
    Covers full frame at 24-55 with normal vignette (slightly more than 24-120 / 4).
    At 18mm - a funny pseudo fish.
    Has a very comfortable MDF.

    And yet, there was no answer. Why is the stabilizer so bad? focus speed is slow or? I look at an inexpensive lens to remove the shake.

        in the reviews, the people are actively disconnecting, I assumed. I plan to take one tomorrow. because I used to shoot on d80 (and I bought it when it just came out), now I replaced it with 7100, I encountered that there is a shake on all the pictures. that's why I decided to take it with a stabilizer in order to get used to the camera.
