A little review of Nikon's 18-105 F3.5-5.6 VR DX ED IF lens.

Sorry about the sound quality in parts of the video - my little digicam has a horrible little microphone.

does this 18-105 lens have built-in autofocus motor?

@jianh1989 Yes.

Do you really need to put a filter? Filters make the quality worse :|

[RS250Squid]

@thecoolguy771 I'd rather risk a broken filter than a broken front element :-).

RS250 as in the Aprilia?

[RS250Squid]

@Kmanmarr Yes.

@cynic150 Re: Blurriness, see my comment to Davestanton2779 :-).

As for the music, it's about 20 seconds out of a 9 minute video, I'm sure you can skip it if you hate it that much :-).

@sajinbl hey there its true. I did purchase the 18-105 and i agree that its just better to stick with 18-55 and 55-200 , better picture quality. Save your money as the lens doesnt produce the same sharpness as those other 2 kit lens. I would ask you to go for a 18-200 which is a decent lens, but pricey. maybe even better 18-270 PZD tamron . Excellent results

@Mixed99 so it is the best to buy 18-55 together with 55-200, or if we want only one lens and have money than take 18-200?

I was reading a lot of reviews and a lot of people sugesting one of these two combinations rather than 18-105

sorry on bad english
