Popular “walk-around” zoom lens with a remarkably compact and lightweight build that offers superior portability.

Designed for use with Nikon DX-format SLRs, this lens is ideal for shooting everyday photos and HD movies. The 3x zoom covers the commonly used focal length range of 18–55mm, and Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables quiet autofocus, which is an advantage when shooting movies.

Despite its compact size, this lens still boasts Nikon’s Vibration Reduction system for clear, blur-free images, whether you’re taking a wide-angle group portrait in low light, or zooming in to capture distant subjects.
