Updating the staple DX-format mid-range zoom is the AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens from Nikon.
Offering a 27-82.5mm equivalent focal length range as well as a compact
form factor, many shooters will find this to a be a versatile and
lightweight option for their bag. It uses a variable f/3.5-5.6 aperture
to keep size down and incorporates two aspherical elements to limit
distortion and combat aberrations. Also, the Super Integrated Coating
will combat flare and ghosting.
The AF-P system brings with it a pulse stepping motor AF system that is
fast and quiet, making it ideal for stills and video alike. This model
also offers Nikon's Vibration Reduction image stabilization which can
compensate for about 4 stops of shutter speed to limit the effects of
camera shake. It even removes switches from the lens barrel, preventing
accidental changes and enabling users to quickly adjust settings from
the camera's menu. Additionally, a rounded 7-blade diaphragm creates
smooth bokeh.
