| Lens Features | - Compact 3x zoom lens covering the most frequently used focal range of 18 to 55mm.
- Vibration Reduction (VR) minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, enabling sharper pictures, hand-held, at shutter speeds up to three stops slower than would otherwise be possible.
- Optical design, optimized for use with Nikon DX-format D-SLRs for superior performance.
- Hybrid aspherical lens element minimizes various types of lens aberration.
- High-performance Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers superior color reproduction, while substantially reducing ghosting and flare.
- Nikon's exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures fast, quiet auto focus operation.
- Rounded seven-blade diaphragm opening makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural.
- Close focusing distance to 0.9 feet (0.28 meters) throughout the entire zoom range.
- Separate zoom and focusing rings ensure responsive operation.
