Can a "Kit" Lens Be Any Good?

Date of Review:  Apr 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: A great performer, especially at its price point.
Review: INTRODUCTION

The Nikkor 18-70mm AF-S ED f3.5-4.5G IF DX zoom lens is one of those lenses from Nikon that first appeared about the time that the company introduced its first sub-$1,000 U.S. digital SLR, the Nikon D70 to the camera shooting...

The Nikon 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 G ED-IF AF-S DX lives up to all of its letters.

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: Easy to recommend for its great price-to-performance ratio. Very good optical quality, fast focus, good build quality, and a useful zoom range. Much better than the average "kit" zoom lens.
Review: Introduction

A "kit" in the camera world is a camera body and a lens (usually a zoom). Any pro photographer knows to stay away from kits. Why? Because the vast majority of lenses included with kits are sub-par performers. In the 1990's, a...

Superb performer for a ridiculously low price

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: Even for twice the price, the lens would still be incredibly good value for the money.
Review: Background information

This lens was developed to be bundled together with the Nikon D70, hence the informal name "the D70 kit lens". When I bought my D70, the price difference between purchasing the D70 kit together with the bundled lens...

Great walkaround but watch your wallet

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2005
The Bottom Line: Make sure it is bundled with the camera and get yourself a great lens.
Review: This lens may come as one of the "kit lens" options with the Nikon D70, but it's far from a starter lens and delivers in spades for all but the most exacting photographer.

With a zoom range between the wide 18mm and the telephoto 70mm, it...

a "kit lens" or the real deal?

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: it is a great companion to the D70 and ideally suited to those users who are looking for great optical performance but aren't rich.
Review: I just recently picked up a D70 to compliment my Nikon film gear and I decided to get the complete D70 kit, which included the 18-70mm Nikkor DX lens. This was mainly because all my film lenses would suffer from the 1.5 x focal length multiplier...

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: It came with the D200 kit,use and enjoy it. Being my first zoom, I'll take it with me on vacation but I'll use my prime lenses for the $$$$$ shots.
Review: What can I say about the Nikon 18-70mm f3.5-4.5G ED-IF-S DX lens, it came packaged with the D200. If you're reading this review, you may be a D200 kit owner like myself. I won't get into the technical description too much on this as the earlier...

Much more than a "kit lens"

Date of Review:  May 16, 2005
Review: This is often called the "kit lens" as it is packaged with the D70. It often sells for 300.00 US or less. It features a ultra fast AFS Nikon focus system and is a joy to use. It is for digital cameras ONLY and has no F/stop ring. This lens operates...
