What is there for this lens to say! I will not go into at this point to further details and does not compare it with lenses of the upper class. Comparisons with fixed focal lengths 1400 Euros zooms are in my opinion not very helpful, of course, can not but 19 8-105er mithalten.Nun to essentially because: The processing of the 18-105 VR is relatively cheap and looks fragile, but me has this objective been accompanied on many trips and it still works properly (took me two years ago acquired the lens at Amazon)! I use the 18-105er on my D40 and D90 whenever I do not want to drag my prime lenses or high-intensity push with. Of course, at 18mm are tons to see, this can be but often resolve on PC and now let's be honest, who does with a 250 Euro zoom architecture images and then nags about image quality? In the holiday motives 18-105er shows its strength in the area of focus and convinces with the VR function also in low light. In my view, the product described is a very good lens. Small purse, little weight, beautiful contrasts, good sharpness, overall good pictures.
