Our take on the Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens

The Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR is the kit zoom for Nikon's DX-format DSLRs, covering a 27-82.5mm equivalent range from wide angle to short portrait. Its pulse stepping motor gives smooth, quiet autofocus that works well for video, and VR cuts camera shake by about four stops for handheld shooting. Two aspherical elements and Super Integrated Coating keep images sharp and control flare. It is the light, stabilized everyday lens most DX shooters start with, and it beats older non-VR kit zooms on quiet focus and stabilization while staying a slow-aperture lens in low light.

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as a dependable kit lens: quiet, stabilized and sharp enough for everyday shooting. The main complaints are the slow aperture and the body compatibility limits of the AF-P motor.

What people mention
  • AutofocusPraisedThe stepping motor focuses quietly and smoothly, which owners like for video as well as stills.
  • StabilizationPraisedVR lets people shoot handheld at slower shutter speeds and still get sharp frames.
  • ApertureCriticisedThe f/3.5-5.6 maximum aperture is limiting indoors and in dim light.
  • CompatibilityMixedThe AF-P motor only autofocuses on newer Nikon DSLRs, so older bodies are left out.
  • BuildMixedOwners find it light and handy but describe the construction as basic plastic.

About the Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens

This is a standard zoom lens for Nikon F-mount DX-format cameras. It covers wide-angle to portrait focal lengths, equal to 27-82.5mm on a 35mm camera. The design is slim.

Two aspherical elements reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for sharp, accurate images. A Super Integrated Coating minimizes flare and ghosting for better contrast and color accuracy. The rounded seven-blade diaphragm gives a pleasing out-of-focus look for shallow depth of field and selective focus.

An AF-P pulse stepping motor provides smooth, quiet, fast and precise autofocus for both stills and video. Vibration Reduction image stabilization compensates for up to four stops of camera shake, which helps with handheld shooting in difficult light.

Questions and answers

Will this lens autofocus on my Nikon DSLR?
It is an AF-P lens, so it autofocuses on newer DX bodies such as the D3300, D3400, D3500, D5000 series and D7000 series. Older bodies that don't support AF-P will not autofocus with it.
Is it good for video?
Yes. The pulse motor focuses quietly and smoothly, and VR helps steady handheld footage.
How much zoom does it give?
It covers 18-55mm on DX, a 27-82.5mm equivalent, from wide angle to short portrait. It is a standard zoom, not a long telephoto.
Does it work on full-frame Nikon cameras?
No. It is a DX-format lens. On a full-frame body it would only work in crop mode, if at all.
What comes in the bundle?
The bundle adds a 55mm UV filter, a 55mm threaded tulip hood and a microfiber cleaning cloth alongside the lens.
Is it worth it over the non-VR version?
For handheld shooting, yes. VR gives roughly four stops of shake reduction, and the AF-P motor is quieter than the older screw-drive kit lens.
Where is the Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens cheapest?
At Walmart, for $178.70, as of our latest check.
