This is Nikon's compact standard zoom for DX-format DSLRs, covering 18-55mm, roughly 27-82mm in full-frame terms. It stands out for vibration reduction, a silent wave motor for quiet autofocus, and a retractable barrel that collapses for storage. It suits beginners and travel shooters who want one light lens for everyday scenes. Against kit rivals it is small and quiet, but its dim f/3.5-5.6 aperture and plastic mount trail brighter or sturdier third-party standard zooms.
